And all he is doing is spitting on the grave of every soldier who ever gave his life for this country. 4951

He has the right to do this, but he shouldn't complain about the consequences of his actions. We will see how this plays out. 4951

He's an ***. Always has been. He's always thought he was the best player in the league and he felt unappreciated. I will root for whatever team that plays them. I hope no one buys his jerseys and I hope anyone who has them burns them. He should have been plucked off that bench and dropped in Iraq. Shame on him, 4951

@CC1974:
 
My husband and I talked about this yesterday, DH thought he should be fired. I disagreed saying he has the right to protest this way. But just because he has the "right" to do something, doesn't always mean it's the right thing to do. Like you, I wonder where he will take it from here. 4951

@CC1974: It won't be good. This was all over Facebook yesterday and is gaining in momentum. Yes, he has the right to speak his mind, but so does everyone else, including the NFL, the fans, sponsors, etc.

Another case of someone who confused freedom of speech with freedom of consequences.
 
He is done. This is the prefect opportunity for his team to get rid of a former promising player who didn't turn into much. 4951

@notfromhere:
 
The problem there is Chip Kelly is the coach. The media has been on him a while about how he handles personnel decisions. 4951

He should be watching the games from his couch anyway with the poor performance he has been giving the last few years.  He does have a right but he is still wearing that 49ers uniform when he does it so if they cut him or trade him that is his own fault.   4951

@Metro07: Could you imagine the protests (i.e-riots) if they did that. The 49er's would be the biggest racists (right under Trump). They are just going to have sit back and let this idiot disrespect their respect for our great country just like we have all learned to do (but hate it) in past years.
