    It's amazing the @Eagles owner found it in his heart to have grace for a white player calling Black folk niggers - draws the line w/ Colin.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/908352933632376833 …

    The owner of the Eagles said he wouldn't hire Colin because of his anthem protest, but hired a white player who called black people "nigger"

        Well they have a history of hiring hateful folks. Michael Vick was my last straw.

        Also the same owner that hired Mike Vick. This has nothing to do with race. Try again @ShaunKing

        But it's part of our national tradition to disparage minorities. We have the right to be angry when they take a stand this is America. /s

        The issue is rooted deeply. The Anthem in its entirety speaks for itself as does the time period which it was written. 😔

        Both grew up in yt families but embrace blackness. Speaking out on violence towards black folx feels like a betrayal. Just my opinion.

        But, considering others have & are protesting, why is CK the only one bearing the brunt of punishment. Darker bros are easier 2 understand.
