I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Have white players done what Kaepernick has done?

As far as I’m aware, Kaepernick’s life history is unique to him alone.

Well, you said if he was white, “this wouldn’t have happened.”

White people can’t be part of the kneeling culture?

I was talking about the Nike partnership. Whites can kneel all they like. It’s a free country.

I knew what they had done.

Yep, and now I know what he had done.

Not sure where you’re going with this.

Wish there were a lot more people like him in pro sports. There are quite a few players I do like, but Larry just stands out.

Yeah he stands out. His team is far enough away that there aren’t many fans(for the team) locally but everybody knows about him. Very well liked and admired.

Never heard of him. I’ve heard of Kaepernick, though.

I’m glad the guy is getting a payday to make up for lost wages.

Kaepernick is really a household name. I don’t think any currently playing NFL player has the same name recognition.

John Stockton had a good Nike deal.

Nowhere, just replying.

Okay, well thanks for sharing anyway.

I’m enjoying how positive this thread has been so far–people talking about folks they admire and respect.

This all makes a lot more sense now that I’ve belatedly realized you’re doing an impersonation of Ben Shapiro for some reason.

Ben Shapiro

Who?

I’m kidding. I’ve heard of this one.

Why are you attacking me?

A company is free to pick whoever they like to pitch their products. I just think in this day and age it’s a good idea to choose someone who is universally liked and not polarizing.

Is that even a thing anymore? Who are they gonna get, Tom Hanks? Jimmy Carter?

Bishop Charles H. Ellis III. Good role model.

I highly doubt this so called bishop is a better role model than Donald J. Trump.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I couldn’t figure out why you sound like a red piller my age or younger all of a sudden so I searched “race or culture” on YouTube and he comes up like four times in the first twenty hits.
