From 2016:
quote:
Colin Kaepernick is not Jackie Robinson and America in 2016 is not the same as America in 1919, 1947 or 1972. But it does not take one of Jackie Robinson’s stature or experience to see and take issue with injustice and inequality which manifestly still exists.
As I said in the earlier post, the First Amendment gives us just as much right to criticize Kaepernick as it gives him a right to protest in the manner in which he chooses. But if and when we do, we should not consider his case in a vacuum or criticize him as some singular or radical actor. Because some other people — people who have been elevated to a level which has largely immunized them from criticism — felt and feel the same way he does. It’s worth asking yourself, if you take issue, whether you take issue with the message or the messenger and why. Such inquiries might complicate one’s feelings on the matter, but they’re quite illuminative as well.

I'm not really sure he is outraged by mixing politics and sports. The Tweet in the OP is a quote to provoke a response from those that tell him politics and sports shouldn't mix.

Huh? That's not political....The civil rights era did happen and police were killing unarmed black men.
Besides Colin said repeatedly it had nothing to do with servicemen & servicewomen but those who only focused on the HOW completely missed that.
