Kaepernick sits thru national anthem

49'ers choke artist Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem at the beginning of their preseason game against the Green Bay Packers last night. Here's why:

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

"To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Kaepernick has no freaking idea what oppression really is. He should also remember that freedom of expression cuts both ways.
