Day after day I sit here reading my twitter feed and is amused by the lashings Colin Kaepernick is getting for standing up for something that has to be brought to a brighter light. Racial Equality is very important and has been so far as I can remember. The funniest part about this is the same people that are criticizing him; weather if its about cutting his hair or making sure he appease the league, I have not seen any of these people call him to see what they can do to help him with the very cause that started the movement.
With Colin not being in the league is a perfect example of why he is doing this in the first place. Racial equality- now they are punishing him for that very reason. The last they want is for someone to shine a light on the brutal racism that has been around forever, and it makes it harder when you can't speak on it without recognizing it as an issue.
The NFL and its owners need to continue to feel the raft, and I stand with Kaepernick by not watching football and if they take too long to get him on the field (because he is better than half the starters and at least 3/4 of the backups) I still may not watch.
