Kaepernick going down?

Colin Kaepernick for the past several games, in the NFL as a quarterback for the 49ers, has taken a knee during the star spangled banner to protest the oppression of African Americans. However, tons of outrage have come out of this as a sign of disrespect towards the anthem. Because if there's one thing more important to Americans than football, it's America. 

But, if I recall correctly, there was this whole first amendment that allowed free speech and acts of free speech. Like, this isn't even threatening. It's considered a threat to burn an American flag to some. But this quarterback literally kneeled in subservience rather than the "black lives matter" defiant fist in the air, just to be less threatening. If he was any less threatening, Disney would give him a show. 

So what's the beef? 

People are getting tired of caring for black people. Even little Wayne says "I thought this whole racism thing was over".

Of course, people aren't actually saying this (minus Mr. Wayne), they're just more offended.

The daily caller called him a coward and an "uneducated idiot". Redundancy aside, people are real upset. Maybe Kaepernick just decided to mock Hillary and fall too?
