    He is a total piece of shit. How's that for not having to respect him.

    I'm completely indifferent on Kaepernick. I don't dislike him or anything, but I hardly find him to be a heroic figure.

    I think Nikes campaign is going to blow up in their face.

    Nobody owes him a job as a QB. Ask the 600 guys who just got cut and will be bagging groceries soon. And no, I don't respect him at all. Piece of shit as stated.

    He's a whiny little bitch, why would I respect someone like that? Yeah real classy awesome guy that wore socks with cops on them in the form of pigs.

    His Nike campaign is a complete fucking joke...what sacrifice did he make? He already made his millions....plenty of people have sacrificed for this country or for a group of people...Kaep isn't one of them.

    There was a picture on Facebook today, depicting foreign workers in a Nike sweat shop who apparently make $.20 an hour.

    All PR is good PR? Perhaps not anymore.

    Lot of (presumably) old white dudes from the midwest not fond of Kaep it seems.

    I don't necessarily agree with his stance, nor do I totally disagree, but I will give him credit for backing up his convictions even thought it ultimately cost him his job. It certainly did become a bit theatrical, though.

    Regarding the Nike campaign: my guess is that they did a healthy amount of market research before making this choice. That doesn't mean it will end up being a good choice, but I can pretty much guarantee you that the decision was not taken lightly.

    So you guys like police brutality? I don't and I don't like cops that still put up the blue wall when one of their own is guilty of it.

    Agreed. In my view they'll feel some short term pain, but this is a smart long-term move. Professional athletes are the ones who wear and ultimately sell their products. Sorry Trumpers, you aren't the target market.
