At the time of the $1 mil announcement:What was he doing regarding charitable donations prior to his decision to kneel last year?
"I haven't done any fundraising at this point," Kaepernick said. "It might be an option going forward."
Kaep can't win. With his critics it is always Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.Except for the fact that he pledged to donate $1 mil shortly after his anthem protest went viral. Almost like something dawned on him.
What more do you want? Have him join the BLM people marching in the streets or be with the student protestors at UC campuses ?What else you got going for Kaep besides him having to follow through with some donations as a result of the anthem stunt?
You started a thread (which we already had in place, with a poll of over 420 votes...."wahhhh, this isn't titled the Colin Kaepernick thread anymore") after whining and complaining bc you couldn't handle being the butt of all jokes, which I'd assume after 60 years you would get used to by now.Wait, you started a thread about Colin Kaepernick that ran for over 75 pages where you ranted constantly about him personally, his playing ability and his kneeling for the anthem. You then changed the thread title to make it a personal attack on someone who disagreed with your stance on Kaep - and now you tell someone else to Get a life. Seriously?
Real action, not look at me action.What more do you want? Have him join the BLM people marching in the streets or be with the student protestors at UC campuses ?![]()
Don't forget Cam Newton who genuinely appears to care about the less fortunate youth.Real action, not look at me action.
2012 - Tony Romo donates $1 million to Urban Alternative
2015 - Peyton Manning's PeyBack Foundation to give more than $1 million to youth organizations, PeyBack established since 1999
2016 - Russell Wilson's Why Not You Foundation Raises More Than $1 Million for Seattle Children's Hospital
I could keep going on and on, but you get the idea. It's almost an unwritten law that the QBs of the NFL give back. Most all these guys have established foundations. Yet Kaep was quoted as saying, "I haven't done any fundraising at this point", after the stunt he pulled. Surely you see the difference now?
He is taking real action to the tune of a half million:Real action, not look at me action.

Surely you've read the last few posts and can see how $0 prior to his stunt and whatever amount post stunt isn't living up to NFL QB expectations at all?He is taking real action:
But he has pigeons!Do you have a wife/husband, kids, friends, career, anything? I'd lean no... Yea, it is pretty sad and I stand by my original comment.
I would say having donated $500,000 to date is living up to NFL QB expectations.Surely you've read the last few posts and can see how $0 prior to his stunt and whatever amount post stunt isn't living up to NFL QB expectations at all?
Why didn't he donate anything prior to his decision to kneel?I would say having donated $500,000 to date is living up to NFL QB expectations.
Why didn't he vote for ANYTHING in this year's election?Why didn't he donate anything prior to his decision to kneel?
If you make personal attacks on me in a thread unrelated to what is being discussed, then don't expect me to enter into any type of serious discussion with you after that.Why didn't he donate anything prior to his decision to kneel?
Pointing out that you like pigeons is a personal attack? I guess Bieber Cleiber is fine by you.If you make personal attacks on me in a thread unrelated to what is being discussed, then don't expect me to enter into any type of serious discussion with you after that.

Please stop....This is bizarre: Sarah Palin is upset at Kaepernick because he donated money to Meals on Wheels, labeling it a "political stunt" and attributes it to one of the reasons he is not landing a starting QB gig:

Jesus Christ you want to keep the thread on topic and you pull this crap . Oh BTW practice what you preach , you love lobbing personal attacks . You led a jihad against me because I shop at Walmart by my summer place, something just so trivial but you made it personal and engage in class warfareIf you make personal attacks on me in a thread unrelated to what is being discussed, then don't expect me to enter into any type of serious discussion with you after that.

Wow, mediate, tmz and rawstory are reporting on this. Must be big news. Huge!Meanwhile, the online reaction to Sarah Palin criticizing Kaep's donation to Meals on Wheels has not been as favorable as she might have hoped:

That really is stupid, Sarah. Accept that he made the charitable contribution and be done with it. If he's going to use his money for good purposes, why deter him from doing so.This is bizarre: Sarah Palin is upset at Kaepernick because he donated money to Meals on Wheels, labeling it a "political stunt" and attributes it to one of the reasons he is not landing a starting QB gig:

Except the thread is supposed to be about Kaep, not Sarah's tweet about Kaep. The point is that these donations are currently the only thing Kaep has going for him. Squiz is under the impression that they are somehow keeping him relevant.That really is stupid, Sarah. Accept that he made the charitable contribution and be done with it.

I'm with squis on this.
Except for the damn twitter thing again. Jeez.
Instead of derailing the thread how about apologizing to him and keep on topicI didn't pull this crap, your buddy, Bieber Clieber did.![]()
A distinction without a difference.Except the thread is supposed to be about Kaep, not Sarah's tweet about Kaep. The point is that these donations are currently the only thing Kaep has going for him. Squiz is under the impression that they are somehow keeping him relevant.
Reaction to Palin on social media has not been kind:That really is stupid, Sarah. Accept that he made the charitable contribution and be done with it. If he's going to use his money for good purposes, why deter him from doing so.

Dude, seriously? You have called me pisspot, pissclam and rumpswap and there was never an apology for that.Squistion I'm going to ask nicely only one more time to you apologize to Phase. I don't want to take more drastic measures . Apologize and let's move this thread forward
I'll handle the twitter beat while Squissy is missing
Please , leave Squissy out of this
