The guy wearing socks depicting police as pigs clearly isn't genuinely interested in having a mature conversation about this issue.

Obama and every single other person in our gov't (past,present or future) loves whistleblowers
as long as they whistle blow against everyone except our gov't
this isn't breaking news or even a new revelation.

Doesn't the fact that so many ex or present members of the military have felt compelled to speak out on Kaepernick, whether for or against, kind of prove my point that people generally associate the Anthem with the military? And thus, rather than recognizing his protest as a stance on police/race relations, people are interpreting a message different than the one he is trying to get across?

i think the hyper nationalism in this country is beyond scary
thus maybe why we get people who for some reason tie them together.
that isn't a reason to change your message though imo.
the flag is the most prominent thing to resemble america or a country and it's policies. thus why it is burnt or protested.
i have never once took an American protest against the flag to be against the military (unless you find one that says "**** the troops" while doing so if it's out there)

Looks like a mix of Donald and Gary Busey.
