Flag: NFL protest is nothing but enabling behavior

Hey, Colin Kaepernick! Which voiceless are you referring to when you refuse to stand for the National Anthem? Could it be the victims of senseless crimes that are being committed by people of every race? I don’t think so. If you are referring to the “voiceless” as those who do not elect to use their freedom of speech, then why don’t you use what is left of your career to get them to get off their couches and help society curb the violence?

Push people to be responsible for their actions; quit enabling them to blame someone else for their actions. Teach them to not put themselves in a position to be confronted by police for their actions.

Sadly, a young mother was murdered the other day walking her baby in Chicago. Another voice we won’t hear. I respect your right to voice your opinion, but you disgraced yourself and team by not honoring the flag. What you have is because of this country.
