Colin Kaepernick

I will just start out saying that I don’t follow football or any kind of sport but what this player did was terrible. Now you may say that he has a right that he doesn’t have to but the way he did it was the problem. Why respect the flag of a country that oppresses blacks? Come on, they are not the only race in the country even world that are oppressed. Statistics even show that whites are the most killed race when it comes to police brutality but you don’t hear the BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement talking about that. I don’t know if he is a part of that movement but I thought I would bring it up. Back to his rights, you could say that under the first amendment he was okay doing what he did, but it was the way he executed it afterwards with saying things about oppression.  I think that if you are an American citizen or even foreign than you need to respect the flag. People of all races are spending their lives to protect this country and you can’t say that your race is oppressed. If you believe that then leave and see how the rest of the world is. This is getting out of hand and I am actually pretty mad. Plus, if anyone tries to even hint to him that what he did was wrong he will accuse them of oppressing him and being racist. This is just making matters worse and it is going to keep getting worse if something isn’t done about it. Again, what he did was terrible and I don’t even know the guy but if he feels that way then he can pack up his bags and leave this country and try his luck somewhere else because what he did was wrong, first amendment or not.
