#1 I guess any publicity is good when you've lead your team to 5 and 11 last year.

#3 People who do not study real history can never appreciate their circumstances today. We're a nation of men, not angels. However, doing better than 99 percent of those who came before us, yet decry the imperfections of our human nature. If you adjudge us as failed, we can so adjudge you.

#5 ...On the one hand, this lad - who makes something like $20M USD/year, no small amount of it from the wallets of the Oppressed - has an absolute right to his opinions and his actions. Unpleasant and offensive as we may find them, those are the facts.
On the other hand, one cannot help but consider the possibility that he's doing this in one of the two or three NFL markets where such an action and its motivations might actually gain some traction and shield him - at least partially - from the consequences of his inability to meet the goals required of him by his employers. (I know he was injured, and some of his problems may be out of his control)
Somehow, however, I suspect that the 49ers - owned by the deBartolo family, not known for their social sympathy or willingness to financially sacrifice - will find a way to gently separate him from the team.

#7 Do you hear the sound of the Colin Kaepernick NFL jersey production line in China going on standby?

#12 Another reason to ignore "pro" football.

#13 This will make you feel better. But the plick still gets a royalty for each jersey, irrespective of use.

It is rumored that Chester Marcol used his as an oil rag.

#16 So any time the 48ers visit any other team in the NFL all the fans of all the teams they visit should stay home and nobody watch when 49er games are are on TV. I think that way the DeBartolos would get the message real quick.

#17 48ers? Well, I guess they just slipped a little.

#18 The fans should have walked out of the game after the nations a than finished. Send a message to the networks and 49er management.

#22 Colon needs a history lesson - 360,000 white Union soldiers gave their LIVES to end slavery. Smug fools like Kaepernick aren't really protesting for the "oppressed" though are they?
