What stance have the Giants taken? The entire article wasn't posted, but all I see is commentary from the owner regarding letters he has gotten from fans.

They said they wouldn't condone their own players protesting like Colin did because fans said they would protest the team if they did.

You can't support what Kaepernick did, and then not support owners for taking the stances they are. Kaepernick used his 1st Amendment right to protest (wrong forum and a completely fraudulent issue if you ask me). The owners and fans are using their 1st Amendment rights as well. This isn't a one way street.

He also has garbage mechanics and owes his success to Harbaugh.

Can't stand him, but at least he fought actual racism.

That's not really the path I was headed down. Patriotism and doubts surrounding it tie Ali and Kaepernick together. Ali refused to go to Vietnam. Kaepernick kneeled during the anthem. I find it hard to understand how someone could see Ali in a positive light and Kaepernick in a negative one.

Always amazes me that those who spend their lives wrapping themselves in the flag 365/24/7 are always the folks frothing at the mouth when someone uses their freedom of speech. Yeah, god forbid you exercise one of the basic American rights that people have lost their lives trying to protect. String him up.

Without being political, I didn't have an issue with what he did, especially after reading about how he backed it up with off field charity. I'm also not up in arms that he's essentially blackballed from the league. He's not Ali in the least, but I like that he acted on a peaceful cause he's passionate about. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

He's not in jail. He's just out of a job at the moment. Whether that be for his actions or his awful football abilities at the moment, it doesn't matter. Just because this country protects the Freedom of Speech (God bless this great nation), doesn't mean Free Speech doesn't have consequences. If he were to be locked up in prison for his actions, that would be wrong and a violation of the Constitution. But the reaction to his actions is simply others using their Freedom of Speech.

What do you think about the other quarterbacks who got signed this offseason? I showed that Kaepernick was better than 7 starting quarterbacks last season. Two of those starters, the worst starters in the league, were both signed to free agent contracts.
