And that is why the NFL isn’t presenting half as good a game at it used to.
And if anyone is tempted to leave a racist response about how Colin Kaepernick wasn’t blacklisted out of the league, that he was all washed up as a player, maybe do some research first. Go look up Kaepernick’s QB ratings throughout his career, then look up the QB ratings of all starting QBs the first year Colin didn’t play. Then come back and try to tell us the lie that Kaepernick isn’t as good as some of the sorry @$$ players who started at QB when no one would hire him.
Taking a knee was intended to peacefully protest the unfair treatment of people of color, but it was perverted by the Right into an insult of the flag, the anthem, and the military. Just the way it is now. Kinda like MAGA hats are symbols of hate and racism.
Anyone know what the current leading cause of deaths among American police officers is? No, it’s not Black Lives Matter. It’s not “all them thar Mexicanos coming over the borders”. It’s not even bullets. It’s Covid.
If KE and his/her ilk really support the “blue line” so much, they should be urging people to get vaccinated.
I always wonder how many of the people complaining about Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem, were sitting on their butt watching. If you should stand when people are watching you, then you should stand when you are along at home. Showing you are a PATRIOT should not need a crowd. Beside the camera should have been on the flag and not on the players kneeling, if everybody were paying attention to the flag no one would ever known he was kneeling.
Maybe KE and the other trolls will start a Go Fund Me page for Kyrie Irving since he’s going to forfeit his salary of approximately $34M this year by continuing to “stand on his principles”. Plus he’s potentially costing his team a shot at the NBA title. Free-dumb!
Brandon Goodwin, an NBA player with the Atlanta Hawks, admitted recently that he got blood clots from the COVID vaccine that ended his season and possibly his career.
It’s interesting to see all the comments, they’re so brave. Here’s the thing, I hate how everyone makes everything about race, it’s ugly. There have been increasing situations of false accusations that are evily devicive posing as victimhood or something honorable & people like you play right into it.
See how quick you jumped to the worst conclusion about me, amazing. People that try sooo hard to prove they’re aren’t racist make me wonder. I’m so comfortable in my lack of racism that I can call BS when I see it. Hopefully everyone else can evolve one day too.
For the record I am all about getting vaccinated & wearing masks. I’m always posting about that.
For God’s sake people, ignore the stupid trolls. Their motive in life is to get a rise out of someone, period. They’ll say anything to get that.
Yes, there is research supporting that.
Multiple studies have found a link to what is known as the “Dark Tetrad” of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism. In other words, “it’s all about me,” “I will say whatever I need to,” “I have no empathy for others,” and “I like hurting people.” Thus, writing posts on GoComics because it makes them feel self-important, and they can easily get the Featured Comment by arousing outrage – regardless of the opinion, which they don’t care about – which causes other people to respond.
One study found that trolls would even self-identify because it fit their profile, and confirmed a relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad. Reference below:
Buckels, Erin E., Paul D. Trapnell, and Delroy L. Paulhus. “Trolls just want to have fun.” Personality and Individual Differences 67 (2014): 97-102.
One study found a particularly strong correlation between online trolling and sadism, even developing an “iTroll questionnaire.” They found, in fact, that sadism was the pivotal point, because it came out even when you controlled for other traits.
Paul D. Trapnell, Tamara Andjelovic, Delroy L. Paulhus. (2019). “Internet trolling and everyday sadism: Parallel effects on pain perception and moral judgment.” Journal of Personality, Vol. 87, Issue 2 (April 2019), pp 328-340. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jopy.12393
In my own subfield of motivational psychology, we would identify this as “Personalized Power motive” – getting strong emotional satisfaction from having an impact on or influence on individuals, groups, or the world at large, but without the self-restraint that would lead to positive or empowering impact. In other words, “it makes me feel strong to hurt you.”
^^Its so pathetic that you didn’t read the content of my posts & are trying to make this a name calling fight. Obviously negative attention is not what I want & if I only wanted to be liked I’d just always do the safe play & go with the crowd even when they’re wrong. I can’t have that I was hoping to shine light on a bad situation so we can move to correct it. As long as people like you remain we advance nowhere.
It’s fitting that KE and the other obvious trolls are cheering for Kyrie. He can’t even explain why he’s not getting the vaccine. Just a bunch of gibberish and RW buzzwords that make as much sense as any post the trolls on here make (or their Orange Fuhrer anytime he gives a ramble err…speech). Oh, and over 10 athletes in various sports have come out and said their careers ended due to contracting COVID, and that’s just in America. But facts and reality don’t matter to the trolls which is why you should never comment on their cries for attention and help.
Cap was washed up as a QB, the NFL is nothing but a Pimp. Nothing would stop a Team from signing a Ax-Murder if He could throw a 20yard out. When Cap lost the Super Bowl he lost his nerve. Better to be Social Justice Warrior than a dirty smelly football player.

It sure does depend on who’s goring whose ox. Or who’s behaving the same kind of badly that you like.

I’m a 49ers fan, once coach Harbaugh left Kap’s ability as a QB took a massive dump. Then the next season he’s suddenly protesting.

Goodwin said the NBA told him to keep it quiet.

On the lighter side, Kap reminds me of the “Naked Gun” scene of OJ’s trouble making through a doorway.
