Sports Media Discussion (RIP ESPN) - Page 431 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The SI cover was met with immediate criticism after it was revealed, prompting executive editor Steve Cannella to appear in a video to explain its intentions. Kaepernick’s image appears nowhere on the cover of the issue, but Cannella claimed that “in some ways, even though his picture is not there, Colin Kaepernick is there.”

LOL

Need more people like Shannon Sharpe complaining about how America hasn't treated him fairly. You went from nothing to a millionaire playing a game. Tough life.

So you won’t listen to successful people claiming inequality exists because they’re successful, you won’t listen to unsuccessful people because they’re whiny, and you won’t listen to academics because they’re egghead libtards. So that leaves.. who exactly?

The kneeling is meant to protest "America" while the Budweiser cans are meant as a celebration of "America F*CK Yeah!"

Looks like he grew up with nothing and then became a millionaire due to a combination of sick genetics and hard work. Now he’s using that platform he worked so hard for to try and help those less fortunate.

What’s your argument, that he should “stop complaining” simply because he’s a millionaire? Lol

Yes, and of course Sharpe is not saying look at me, my life is so bad. Neither was Kaepernick. They are saying that because they have been so extraordinarily fortunate they can't be silent about the injustice that exists in present day America.

when a black guy is successful it's because America was good to him

when a white guy is successful it's because he pulled himself up by his bootstraps and took responsibility for his life

Right because he was held down and is not currently a millionaire? He didn't have the freedom to do that right?

Lol it was never about free speech in the slightest. Here was the "schedule" just a complete and utter troll.

Sure. But that's what his stance is. That's what he's actually saying, not the BS paraphrase that RCM was trying to attribute to him.

Probably because he still gets pulled over in his $500k Bentley or Ferrari because he is black.

That was and old video. He said he doesn't respect the flag because the flag doesn't respect him. And then went on about how on loan applications they make you check what race you are so they can avoid lending to black people. Then I had enough and turned the channel.
