Drag racers stand for the National Anthem

[Bench Racer]

IMHO if you choose to not stand for the National Anthem you are a POS. Do a Google search for POS just in case you don't know what it means. I make no apologies for my comments. You either love America or you need cross the border.

Sorry but we must live in different worlds. So I did a Google search on POS and came up with just what I believed it meant.

Because he sucked as a quarter back and didn’t like being told he’s not starting and he’s gonna he aback up. Had an opportunity to show he’s as qb that hasn’t been given to anyone else. And sabotage the opportunity Wearing a Kunta Kinta shirt At his workout and told the nfl to go screws. Self inflicted sabotage That how it worked out.
Tell me I’m wrong. Entitled. Cry baby. Millionaire

Since I am a '49er fan I'll see if I can help you....

He was drafted after some scouts bought in to the "pistol", not shotgun, offensive game plan. Coach Jim Harbaugh built a complete offense around Krapernack to utilize the pistol offense. Krapernack was not able to read defenses and had not accuracy or touch on his passes. As an option running QB he was OK, until they came up with defenses that made him think about his options and most of the time it was wrong. His QB rating was so low that he was benched and became the second or third string QB. I don't know what was in his contract, but he became a free agent and he wasn't good enough to be signed. The NFL has welcomed back dog fighters, spousal abusers, murderers, dope dealers and users, if you had the TALENT TO PLAY THE GAME. Krapernack didn't.

By the way , how's that working out for him?

Kapernick had the courage of his convictions to take an unpopular stand which ultimately led to him losing his job. Muhammad Ali similarly had the courage of his convictions in 1967 when he refused to be drafted which led to him being banned from boxing for 3 years. Both men put their personal feelings and convictions above their jobs and monetary gains.

Really. ?
Ali was banned. Fought in the courts to get what he wanted and was a world champion
Kaepernick wasn’t even a starting quarterback on his team and a millionaire and he’s thinks he’s aBlack Panther 1969 tough guy. Get real.
He blew up his potential job interview. Kunta Kinta shirt at his own tryout
Not A Hero.

There was a time before video cameras where these rioters would have tripped on a curb and broke both arms, his nose, a jaw, and had teeth fall out. Just like the Marines a few years ago that caught a guy that stabbed a fellow Marine. Oops, he fell down.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to a lot of innocent people of color. Kind of what this anthem stuff is all about.

Yes it would be nice not to be having fools burning down buildings, looting everything in sight, paint getting spilled all over streets, AND waking up in the morning and not hearing about another police officer or officers getting shot. Gee, things sure were different, and nice like Sunoco 260 for $.32 a gallon.
