The whole "THEY DIED FOR YOUR FREEDOM, SO HOW DARE YOU USE IT?!?" line of thinking is so dumb I can't even begin to wrap my head around it. :psyduck:

You can argue if this is pragmatically speaking the best way to use his fame or whatever, but ~moral outrage~ because "FOOTBALL MAN SITS DOWN FOR OPINION ARRRGH" is the dumbest loving poo poo.

6500 calories per day. That is loving insanity. idk about football players, but I know basketball players who've said they eat 5000 calories per day while training for/during the season. the only conclusion I can come to if they're feeding literal prisoners 6500 calories per day is that they're fattening them up to eat them.

If they get fat enough they'll be unable to stand for the national anthem. Colin Kaepernick wins again

Well it's a Kaep one so it probably came off the clearance rack for like $2

Also I'm really starting to hate the term "slacktivisim". Like you're not allowed to have an opinion unless you're spending the equivalent of a full time job doing rallies and poo poo

"Colin I think you'll find your opinion is rendered invalid unless you give up your NFL career and use your body as a human shield for the many 11 year old black children being fired upon"

I wouldn't consider what Colin Kaepernick is doing as "slacktivism". It's just traditional protesting, not typing some opinion online and then putting a hashtag next to it.

I had some dipshit show up on my twitter feed bitching that LeBron apparently was doing enough.

"oh sure! Making sure a significant portion of underprivileged school children go to school! But you know what he doesn't do? HE DOESN'T OUT MORE ABOUT JUSTICE REFORM!! That's why Colin Kaepernick is better than LeBron James at this"

Possibly the DUMBEST take I had ever heard in my life. Especially considering the fact that LeBron has SPOKEN UP ABOUT JUSTICE REFORM MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST.

That is what I consider "slacktivism". Someone who just whines, complains on the internet and then just screams at random strangers because they don't agree with their particular opinion. It's loving toxic as hell, and bothj sides do it.

(again, not trying to do a "TRUTH IS IN THE MIDDLE" post here. At least the left's version of it is coming from a good place, it's just done in a lovely way).

I honestly can't believe ESPN lets him have PFT Commenter on their nationally syndicated drive time show. like, they got on him about the Caucasians t-shirt but he does way more inflammatory and outright insulting poo poo in those segments


e: which I love, to be clear. it's just wild that they keep letting him do it

One of my coworkers predictably said this morning that Colin Kaepernick shows how "all of them" in the NFL are thugs and "if he doesn't like it here he should leave."

I'm going to say the same thing to him next time he complains about having to choose English at an ATM.

He's basically saying that Kaep doesn't know what discrimination really feels like since he's mixed. Also he's a dipshit.
