I'm not offended at all. Personally I think the whole national anthem hand over heart salute the flag thing is silly.

My issue stems from a guy talking about oppression and inequality while wearing a Fidel Castro shirt....
My issue with the guy is in his audacity to opt out of an NFL contract, go on some weird find yourself hiatus and then allow people to say he is being blackballed. Dude quit.
My issue is, wearing pig cop socks doesn't do anything to help the situation of "the black man" it only adds to the controversy and overall problem of citizen and police relations.

My biggest issue is that this is just another 'talking point' for people on either side of hate to sling mud at each other. These sorts of things don't do anything to address the problem or add to a solution. And within this talking point all we do is further the divide between races by making it about race.
A cop shoots an unarmed man, it's a problem, it doesn't matter what his skin color is.

Name 1 good thing that has come from his protest? This dude ain't no Rosa frickin Parks!

Kap was being cut whether he opted out or not.  

The Fidel Castro thing was dumb as hell for someone preaching about human rights. A small amount of history reading would have told him how cruel Castro was to millions. The pig stuff didn't help either. 

I think his heart is in the right place he's just been pretty naive about how he's gone about it.
