He's going to sit. He's already said he was going to sit. I believe it's "military night" at this game too.

ETA: I'm not watching. That game is not showing in my market.

He's said he's going to sit. No, I won't watch it. I'm watching the Pat's game.

They said on the news he might not come out during the opening ceremonies and National Anthem.

Personally, I think he will, but some reports are saying that despite what they're saying publicly, NFL brass are not happy with him.

San Diego is a big military area.

NFL brass are not happy with him.

Take off the BR from brass and you have what runs the NFL. They're a joke.

Another tweet that's going around says "Not all cops are pigs @Kaepernick7. The same way not all NFL quarterbacks are good."

How'd you like to lose your job to Blaine Gabbert?

Unfortunately, I live just a couple of miles from Levi's Stadium and my husband is a big 49er fan. Lap was out there and sat and one other guys sat as well. I m not paying attention so I don't know who the other guy is. I was more shocked by Kap's fro. Since when does he have an Afro? It looks like he's trying to channel Bob Ross.

As a Cal fan, I remember him at Nevada. He was clean cut with a close trim and he even shaved (and kept a little facial hair around the chin sometimes). He had the tats, but often they were covered up with sleeves. Despite all the tats, his supporters pointed out that he was a "devout Christian" and the tats mostly carried religious messages.

well if the re-surfacing rumor of him changing religions is true, those tattoos could be getting tweaked. I'm guessing he is going to have plenty of free time if needed.

Colin doesn't look black to me....at all. He does look Muslim and he recently converted to Islam. That would say a lot to me on why he refuses to stand for our anthem. Just highlighting the white elephant.

He "looks Muslim"? Maybe you mean he looks middle eastern because Muslim doesn't have a look. Muslims come in all races - including white. I am not defending him and I disagree with his stance on the anthem, but let's not get into what a Muslim looks like...

He "looks Muslim" - what does that mean?

Don't have the foggiest idea since Muslims come from all ethnicities. I've known Muslims with ancestry from sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt, India, Pakistan, the Middle East, Malaysia, India, and even China. Not to mention converts.

There's nothing in particular about Islam that prevents an adherent from standing before a national anthem either.

My thoughts exactly.

Seahawks CB Jeremy Lane also sat during the anthem last night.

well 84 percent of white people murdered are murdered by other white people. From 1980 - 2008 the gang related crimes were committed by whites. The vast majority of violent crimes are committed by whites.
Where is the concern about white on white crime?

The bold is unfortunately just not true.

Your first link actually backs up the fact that the majority of violent crimes are committed by whites. Vast might be a bit of an overstatement, but not by much. There's a chart right there that spells it out.

I just skimmed the second one, because has such a definite agenda, but it doesn't seem to address the matter definitively. If it has info that contradicts the first link, then I apologize.

 

[jedi_howard]

You didn't read the first article either then. It states you can not get an accurate accounting of crimes commited by whites using the FBI statistics do to the fact they lump hispanics into the same category.

He's black . He looks black to anyone who understands that we don't all look alike.
