I appreciate the sudden greater specificity. The less ambiguity, the better...

I had something of a suspicion that he hasn't played for a long time. This info wasn't very relevant to me when I first posted in this thread.

Has he indicated that he would stop kneeling if he were able to get back on the field?

Assume you will have to be it out in public or on the internet.

Let's not pretend left-leaning media is not itself also capable of misleading.

How do you know when someone just wants to be mad?

What it appears is that you are really not educated on the issue at all.  Not sure where you get your information or even if you care but it seems that the only thing I really got from you is that you do not support Kap kneeling.  What exactly about him kneeling that you do not like.  IS there anything specifically stating that kneeling during the anthem is unpatriotic or un American or whatever.

You would know the problem I have with Kaep's kneeling if you would have read through my posts in this thread. I will save you the trouble by saying simply:

A kneeling gesture is ambiguous and facilitates misunderstanding. Just listen to one of SpokenTruth's own complaints earlier in this thread:

"the majority of people that have lashed out at Kaepernick have no idea that was the reason and they simply attribute it to protesting the flag and the anthem."

I suggest Kaep wear a shirt next time with his grievances clear in writing.

Until this whole thing started, I wonder if people were upset because others made an issue of it more than anything written.  In other words, if the same people changed their view (FOX) would people who do not support this non-violent action would have a different perspective.

...I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here...
