Yeah, they should put pictures of dead people on their ad campaign, because that would work really well.

Although, I suppose by your definition, terrorists have "sacrificed everything" too.

If they died during the terrorists attack, then yes, they did indeed sacrifice EVERYTHING.

Maybe Nike should choose their campaign slogans with more thoughtfulness.

Thanks for making my point. People do overuse the term. And they HAVEN"T sacrificed EVERYTHING. Relatively few people ever sacrifice EVERYTHING. Kapernick certainly hasn't. You haven't. I haven't. So it's your point that's **** garbage. Stupid on a new level.......... Oh, wait, you have no point. I know, you're a victim. So am I. So is everybody. We're ALL victims. We've ALL sacrificed EVERYTHING.

So, you mean, a saying can be used to describe something outside of the literal translation? Crazy language, that English... :lol:

Out of curiosity, are you truly completely unhinged, or are you just unaware that the crazy caps make you look that way?

No, and neither has Kapernick sacrificed EVERYTHING. He has plenty more millions, I'm sure.

I'd like to see the racists that hate Kaep stop being cowards and take up their cause at work.

Words have meaning. Using them with precision is the mark of an educated person. I use caps so the undereducated can decipher some meaning. Hope it helps you.

Capslock is not precision. It's more like full-auto.

I'll put my MSc and PhD(c) up against anyone's education. Best schools in the world for the fields. And I'll bet dollar to dime ol' Nate's got ya beat too.

You don't even know Colin Kaepernick so you have no idea the kinds of things he's had to sacrifice in his life.

You are judging him based soley on the fact that you know he is a millionaire mixed former NFL player who knelt during the national anthem.

Go on now and google and act like you had a clue to start with.

And, the black people walking or driving down the street certainly did not sign up for being shot by cops and other white men with guns.

What exactly has he sacrificed in your opinion?
Click to expand...

He's sacrificed time, money and perhaps some reputation. I respect that. But he hasn't "sacrificed everything" by a long shot. However, many of those who gave their lives under that flag did sacrifice everything. It's disrespectful to include kapernick among them.

Two friends died, one a close friend. Kaep's not disrespecting us. That's just in your head.

You included terrorists as people who did sacrifice everything, isn't that kind of disrespectful to include terrorists with many of those who gave their lives under the flag as people who sacrificed everything?

I don't think terrorists that died for their cause sacrificed anything but instead gave their lives to a unjust cause.

He sacrificed a successful, lucrative career which was 'everything' in regards to what this is actually about.

The only ones dishonest enough to push the conceit that he should be included among fallen service members are those in the RW who already hate him.

lol...oh Waddy, you got nothing to offer me but a crash course on unhinged, desperate hair splitting. :lamo

Is it really raining cats and dogs, or do we understand that it just means hard? Is it really cold as hell, or do we understand that hell is actually reported to be quite hot, but it's really really cold outside? Am I really starving, or do we understand that I'm just uncomfortable and need a snack?

Anyway, whatever bud, your exaggeration / colloquialism pet peeve is already boring. Carry on. :)

Read the article IN FULL to judge her



I agree with her. I hope you also agree with the widow of the American Sniper who was killed by a man he trusted.

The thing is that the left does not understand is that the majority of the right are totally fine with players or anyone wanting to bring attention to the cause of racial injustice but there are many thousands of ways to do that without disrespecting the flag, the anthem, or our country.

Then there's the reasonable people in the middle who understand the act of kneeling isn't disrespectful, recognized they are not hurting anyone or anything in their protest, and just want to watch some football and don't really give a damn but have to be sucked into arguing with people who want to waive their fists and act like they care.
