Dang! Even OBAMA turns on Kaepernick!!

I’m not sure what changed his mind since earlier Obama seemed to be all about the Kaepernick protest, but now he’s asking the selfish, disrespectful 49ers backbench quarterback to think about the pain he’s causing military families.

From Politico:

“Sometimes out of these controversies, we start getting into a conversation, and I want everybody to listen to each other,” Obama said. “So I want Mr. Kaepernick and others who are on a knee, I want them to listen to the pain that that may cause somebody who, for example, had a spouse or a child who was killed in combat, and why it hurts them to see somebody not standing.”

He couldn’t help but go back to Black Power default though:

The president added, however: “I also want people to think about the pain that he may be expressing about somebody who’s lost a loved one that they think was unfairly shot.”

Maybe Obama is just responding to an enormous wave of criticism against Kaepernick from all sides. I think most Americans are fine with honest disagreement about racial issues in our country. But there’s a right way to do it and there’s a wrong way, and Kaepernick is using a platform that ruins the game millions of Americans love and insults the flag and the National Anthem.
