No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Colin Kaepernick named 'Citizen of the Year' by GQ magazine
Colin Kaepernick, the controversial quarterback whose protest of police brutality and racism in America have sent shock waves through the NFL, has been named "Citizen of the Year" by GQ magazine.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is featured on the cover of of the magazine, staring ahead with lips pursed. The GQ story — titled "Colin Kaepernick Will Not Be Silenced" — manages to not quote the football star-turned civil rights defender a single time. Kaepernick, the article says, has "grown wise to the power of his silence."

Someone better get a glass of water because folks are about to get salty.

I think he showed real grit by kneeling to take a stand. Being truly an American patriot doesn’t mean to blindly bow done to flagrant governmental injustice but to actually fight for “justice for all”.

Kaepernick did not begin his "protest" in response to flagrant governmental injustice, he did it in an attempt to save his job. At the time all the talk in the sports media concerned how soon he would be cut from the 49er's, and which, if any, other team would pick him up. He is and was a fraud from the beginning.
