You cant even make this stuff up folks! First Nike gives someone who isnt even playing pro ball a contract to advertise their brand and now Harvard is giving him an honor even though he never attended Harvard!
His contributions "must" have made inroads to the truth to receive such a thing IMO, (though I suppose it's possible to buy anything these days if you want it)...
It's a gift of recognition, not some political tactic, for political gain I think.
This is just the result of "Freedom of speech", & its repercussions...I guess it needed to be said.
He also has some notable quarter-back skills, & yet remains unsigned....So it seems that football teams are steering clear of him

The guy is an absolute piece of $hit Rastus and so is anyone who supports him! Punk thinks that only black people are subject to police brutality but I can tell you that the same thing would happen to a white guy if he tried to resist police arrest.
Harvard is a $hit school, highly bigoted and 100% politically left leaning. If someone says they are from Harvard instantly I think spoiled minority or liberal head-case.
Currently in my kids school they do the pledge of allegiance and there are a great many people choosing to sit rather than stand for the anthem. This would have NEVER been the case had it not been for complete douche bags like Colin! The guy is a loser and anyone who thinks what he is doing is right is just as much of a loser! People who will disrespect the national anthem are selfish individuals with traits not consistent in what made this country great!
Colin has absolutely no skills but playing the victim. Even in his prime he wasnt worth a damn. Here in the USA we allow free speech so we can identify the people who really are traitors. Until the day Colin dies he will always be seen as a piece of shit by anyone who loves this country and what it stands for! We the people gave Colin the right to throw away his reputation! And that is my point, kids who sit during the anthem at school know not what they are doing to their reputation yet - buy trust me when I say that people are taking notice of them and they will be on some lists, that is for sure! Such a shame we have bad examples like Colin Kaepernick being paid to promote what can only be described as anti-American demonstrations! Nike does not understand it yet, but they will soon as the war rolls around. Rastus, there is going to be war, there always is at some point... When that time comes, all who kneeled for the flag, including Kaepernick - will not even be able to safely walk down the street. You can take that to the bank! I am willing to bet that already he has to look over his shoulders on a daily basis.
After re-reading this I couldnt help but to think people might think I am advocating for war... I am not, but if you know the national anthem by heart or have heard the star spangled banner (usually played at sporting events), it becomes clear what its all about. The battle to retain independence - aka War... not some overpaid bitch ass like Colin setting a bad example acting a fool. Bothers me to no end someone like Colin would deficate on such a sacred tradition for his own selfish interest. Anyone who doesn't think he is getting rich off this is probably the same kind of idiot who would kneel for the national anthem.

Only two people from Harvard ever went on to become President! The 19th President, Hayes and the 44th - Barrack Obama!
I think its safe to say Harvard hasnt put out any quality since Hayes back in 1877!
So Harvard is connected and has a lot of people with careers in the Government... If they are all so great then why is this country in such a mess PowerStroker?
Has Harvard forgotten what country its school resides in? Maybe they have considering Americans are now probably a minority on campus! Leave it to Harvard to fan the flames of racial bias and anti-Americanism.

Your points are good SELLC, & I agree with what you have to say.
All I'm suggesting is that Kapaernick's actions were done since he "now" doesn't believe in the pride, honor & respect that they used to represent, once upon a time...
It appears from what I've seen & read, that the US-of-A's integrity was compromised with the Kennedy assassination(s),& from the Military Industrial Complex & Wall St's dominance & guidance in leadership ever since, & has now snow-balled to the point that Kapaernick ( & others ) now refuse to stand-up for something that to them at least, doesn't exist anymore.
Your media ( IMO ) plays a crucial role too, in providing stories with insight, & I think it has let you all down,,,,- Yet again...
It's not about reporting the "who, what & where's" that's most important, but the "why"...
Once again, I'm trying to be Switzerland here lol, but I'd rather see some effort to understand peoples actions taking place, before sentencing them to death...
There is great divide occurring now it seems in the good folks of the US-of-A, & if the people are divided, the evil will conquer...
