I'm going to stick my neck out and comment on the Kaepernick thing. He is exercising his right to disrespect his country. The reason he has that right is that we live in a great country.
I am exercising my right to disrespect him. He sees selective things he doesn't like and considers our country unworthy of standing for the national anthem. I see the greatness of our country and see anybody not willing to stand for it as ungrateful. I have no respect for Colin or his stance.

Timing is not good for him.

Do it at your peak at the SuperBowl or the next year. Not when you are an overpaid malcontent.

Proud of Kaepernick. It takes a lot of balls to stand up for what you believe in. It's guys/gals like him that bring much-needed change to the world.

Frankly, I always thought the national anthem was a ridiculous exorcise to begin with.

He wants change.

Give 80% of your bloated salary to inner city charities. Quit football and run for office.

Very weak and poor statement.

Like KG said. He has a right to do this and other people have the right to disagree and blast him.

Got Tavon Austin Contract details off of Rotoworld. Shocking to me how much he is being paid.


Rams signed WR Tavon Austin to a four-year, $42 million extension through 2021.
The deal includes a whopping $30 million guaranteed, a princely sum for a 5-foot-8 gadget player the Rams have desperately wishcasted as a No. 1 receiver since trading up for him in the 2013 draft. Austin is coming off a unique season where he eclipsed both 400 yards rushing and receiving, but simply isn't worthy of this kind of deal. The Rams under Jeff Fisher have a tendency to compound mistakes instead of trying to fix them. All that being said, despite now being overpaid, Austin is a useful real-life player who has WR4 appeal in fantasy. He is a legitimate playmaker. He's just not who the Rams are paying him to be.

He sucks other than 1 miracle year

If he doesn't win this season he will be gone. He is a Southern California guy coming back home, so it made sense to keep him around for another year with football coming back to SoCal. Having said that, he may be the first guy axed this season.

I agree people have the right to blast him. However, change only comes when people take a stand.

His salary means nothing to me. Good for him for making big money. San Francisco only has themselves to blame for that one. That part of your argument seems like sour grapes to me. If he made the league minimum, it would make no difference to me.

I love it that Kap decided to take a stand. I also agree with Brad (I think) that the national anthem really doesn't have a place at sporting events.

However, I would never disrespect it by not standing at attention as long as I am an American.

I believe in this country and even though it has many things that need to get better, the day I feel I won't stand for our flag is the day I leave the country for good.

As for racism, as a continued victim of it I can understand the anger. That said, racism is not the biggest problem facing minorities today and a lot of our problems are self-inflicted.



I would prefer Kap get other athletes together and work on issues - like Wade did.

I might be wrong but I think it is easier to make a possible career suicide move when you have 30M in the bank than a league minimum guy.

Yes there is racism in our country. There is racism/culturalism/sexism in every country on Earth. Does the US promote racism. Is racism a core value of our country? If not then Kaepernick is fighting the wrong battle. I see our country as fighting against racism in every place it exists and fighting against it in some places it doesn't exist.

He should have never even been hired for the Rams in the first place.

It has been 7 years since he last had a winning season

He sucks

What coach lasts 7 years without a winning season?
