[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 241536, member: 1640"] What are you disagreeing with? Not trying to be a jerk, I just want to be clear I understand you. Black athletes who have done well and prospered within the system have often taken stands like this to raise consciousness for those who are being left behind. I am O.K. with you deciding for yourself that Kaepernick is not that person, if you have concluded that, but in general terms what he has done pretty well fits the historical record. Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, just to name a few, were all people who were doing much better than their general peer group when they decided to take a stand. Many others in their same position throughout history have chosen not to rock the boat. Deciding who is being hypocritical and who is not has to always be seen in context of the bigger picture. Sometimes this only becomes clear decades later. But, again, if you have decided Kaepernick does not fit the historical record that is perfectly within your right. [/QUOTE]
