Kaepernick’s protest makes cover of Time magazine
I think, again, he’s shedding light on a situation that is heinous and shouldn’t happen in this country. “If they don’t like the country they don’t like our flag…get the hell out”. “So if they think that there’s something going on that’s worth standing up for, I think the best thing we could do is listen to each other”.
“When somebody takes a stand, I think that a white person like me, who has a certain privilege, I should listen and support that expression”, Long told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday night after the New England Patriots beat Houston Texas 27-0.
Responders said by a 4-to-1 margin that Kaepernick had the right to protest. If you don’t work…that’s a different problem.
When Cohn pointed out that the columnist and coach have “a fundamental disagreement”, Kelly replied, “That’s the great part/thing about this country, isn’t it?”
Lowell Cohn, a columnist for the Press Democrat, wrote on September 15 that an offensive lineman “angrily walked by the media and said the 49ers had just played a football game” after the team’s season-opening win against the Los Angeles Rams.
Colin Kaepernick continues to ruffle the feathers of Americans, as his signature kneeling pose just earned itself the cover of TIME Magazine.
Kelly: “Yeah, I walked by in the locker room. Not only in the National Football League, but you have soccer, you have NBA players talking about it, high school players talking about it, college players”, Kaepernick said. When he’s asked a question, I think he should answer what his feelings are on those questions.
The 49ers coach defended his quarterback, saying he’s using his protest to bring attention to an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed.
We have a fundamental disagreement then. Some players around the league have joined Kaepernick, either kneeling or holding their fists up as a form of protest.
