The fun part is that Collin is protesting the way MLK would. In fact, he's being way tamer.

Way, way tamer. Not asking for boycotts, not breaking any laws. How many times did MLK get arrested?

It's one of the most mild protests ever, and the fact that it's making so many people angry is a loving indictment of this country by itself.

Well, he released a public statement about how he respects the first ammendment but loving loves the flag and the National Anthem is deeply emotional to him and all that. rear end in a top hat lives in Bellevue, a Seattle suburb for people who think the welfare crisis started with busses. I like that he's a great quarterback on my team, but I recognize that he's a huge tool.

Russell Wilson is a football playing robot built by sponsors to best represent their #brand to 45 year old white suburban dads

You just have to look at how Cam Newton is treated by the media and public to see why Wilson acts the way he does. I'd rather Wilson be my quarterback than Kaepernick, but that's only because he's much better at football, if they traded abilities without trading personalities I'd be super jealous of the niners.

Cooler than Russell Wilson doesn't take much work. There's a reason my only football jersey is Marshawn Lynch's and now that he's retired I'm thinking about getting a Sherman one and not one for the our quarterback.

This work focused only on what happens once the police have stopped civilians, not on the risk of being stopped at all. Other research has shown that blacks are more likely to be stopped by the police.

Any white players take a knee yet? Most of them are probably JJ Watt-style shitheads, but there's got to be some cool offensive lineman at least.

Were there any kickers that never missed a field goal last year? because that's a pretty prime position to take a knee. You have no endorsements to worry bout and if they decide to fire the kicker, there's a dozen teams that wouldn't mind hiring a great kicker, regardless of political controversy.

I guess it's something that a lot of teams are doing anything else than just holding their hands on their hearts during the anthem. But I blame all of Russel Wilson's recent injuries on karmic justice for him not taking a knee during the anthem.

I don't see why they couldn't tase him. Why is it a more sensible course of action to pull a gun out of a holster and kill someone than to pull a taser out of a holster and incapacitate them?

Because if he had a gun, bringing a taser to a gun fight would end poorly for the police officer.

Why, either the cops get him before he shoots or they don't, what advantage does a gun give them that a taser doesn't?

I agree in general, but this issue is a part of a lot of public conversation right now and I don't see it going away with social media exposing the ongoing problems. That makes it more likely (not certain of course) that it will be given more attention by the POTUS. Can anyone actually tell me what they would want to see in terms of policy changes from the candidates and explain why it isn't insane to think Hillary and Donald are alike when it comes to the issue of racial inequality?

At the very least Hillary Clinton understands that Stop and Frisk is a worthless police tactic that does nothing for public safety and fosters distrust among police and Black Americans.
