Blog day friday

I think the whole situation regarding Colin Kaepernick is an absolute disgrace. Mr. Kaepernick's message was trying to make a point about the black lives in America have been getting oppressed by police. If this man doesn't understand what it means behind standing up for the National anthem, then I think he is very under educated. He doesn't care about all the men and women overseas that have fought and are still currently fighting for our freedom. America is a great country and if he doesn't like it, then he can leave. America has given him the opportunity to play on the NFL and this is how he repays the American people for that. This is what younger generations see and think it's ok to disrespect police and military by taking a knee or not standing. Colin, be proud of the country you live in. I agree there is always going to be good situations in police forces around the country but BLM and Colin are just focusing on them. BLM stated the they want to defund the police force. How is that going to help? When you are a hard working man and you have earned things through working countless hours, then someone tries to steal it or destroy it; who are you going to call? Better not be the police because they are most likely going to be busy with hundreds of other callers asking for their help or simply do not have the means and resources to help you. What changed within the past 6 years to make Colin all of a sudden take a knee. Colin does have the right to do so because of his freedom of speech. That is also what is so great about this country, Freedom of speech. Colin along with the rest of the NFL must wear American Flags on the back of their helmets, so if he was so up hauled about the idea of wearing and standing by the American Flag, why doesn't he take his helmet off when he plays. I feel very strongly about this topic and today especially it seems like some people are too afraid to voice their opinion because they may offend someone by doing so. Thats what makes everyone unique and special is each and every person voicing their opinion about something. If Colin wants to make a statement, why doesn't he start help funding the school system, and help change the way the younger generations think because thats who will be leading this country next.
