Mike Ditka Says Colin Kaepernick Should ‘Get the Hell Out’ of America

“I think other people are picking up on the protest and speaking out about it, from high school to activists to pro athletes”, Kaepernick said. “Anybody who disrespects this country and the flag”.

The headline on the cover is “The Perilous Fight” which is followed by “National anthem protests led by Colin Kaepernick are fueling a debate about privilege, pride and patriotism”.

“You and I both know that in the history of the labor movement when it came to issues like work to rule where workers decided that they were going to engage in protest by following the rules to the letter of the law, I think that’s something that also was a perhaps unintended effect of this but something that has certainly lit the fuse and made players aware of what their power is”, Smith said.

“I see opportunities if people want to look for opportunity – now if they don’t want to look for them – then you can find problems with anything, but this is the land of opportunity because you can be anything you want to be if you work”, he said.

Ditka doesn’t see the same “atrocities” that others see taking place in the nation, he told The Fan. If you don’t work, that’s a different problem.

As I watched the Emmy Awards on TV on Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised to see the increased racial diversity this year, but was reminded of several people of color that paved the way for such diversity – performers such as Diahann Carroll, Greg Morris, Nichelle Nichols. “I think the message has been out there loud and clear for quite some time now”. For starters, the troops have literally zero percent to do with this protest. The poll shows 42 percent of African-Americans say they like the 49ers quarterback “a lot”, while only 2 percent dislike him “a lot”. You can want to improve the country you live in, and still respect it.
