Can't believe the Jags are cutting Telvin. Crazy
What's that have to do with anything? Don't speak on things if it doesn't effect you. Some people need to understand what other ppl are going through in this country. Also is you knew the lyrics to the National Anthem you really wouldn't blame anyone of color for choosing not to stand. The same rights great Americans fought for us to have he's using them right now.
Oh boy...did you just tell somebody not to express themselves because someone was using freedom of expression?

He does have the right and that is why he should show respect and stand for the National Anthem. I for one will always stand for the American National Anthem. Kapernick has the right idea but is going the wrong way about it.
wow. He's disrespecting the great Americans that fought and died for this country by sitting during Americas National Anthem. JMO though

Not standing for the national anthem is disrespectful to the United States, period. You have the right to be disrespectful, but people also have the right to call you names and curse you when you do.
PS, I wish I could be persecuted like Kap, his mansion is unreal!

What other people are going thru? Criminals who have no respect for the law. No respect for the men and women that built this country! i talked at length with my grandfather who is a ww2 vet. You are wrong! Kapernick is the same as the rest of this black lives matter crappers.... A bum using social media to look good.
So back to the topic, Telvin Smith is an awesome guy. Hayes Pullard will probably keep a roster spot though, he plays LB, FB, some TE, and Special Teams. He's also a pretty great athlete, and came to the Jags with Bradley from the Seahawks.
This guy gets it.
BLM is a false media narrative built on lies by people who want to play victims.
If you don't want to get shot potentially, don't try and assault a police officer. Don't resist arrest with violence. Obey the law and you will be fine.
I fought for this country....I don't see it like that. And no disrespect to anyone here but it's people of color that are getting gunned down by police and they are hi fiving and watching us die like dogs in cars and on the street. He's not disrespecting the military he's saying that the things that the flag are supposed to represent don't represent people of color. Until you have been in those shoes or directly affected by what's going on you really have no right to speak on it.
False.....don't be black ....there have been plenty of guys that are not of color that have shot at cops and resist a lot more than others and they were apprehended and taken to jail. Please don't go there. I'd hate to think people on here are really that racist.
I thank you for your service. You have served and if you chose to sit their would be some validity to it. This comes off as another spoiled guy doing it his way. Why not get out on the streets in Chicago or your local community and help the police stop crime? Help teach the public the police are here to help?
How does he come off as a spoiled guy that wants to do it his way? Just asking. Also help teach the public that police are here to help....where are they helping. Where have you been?
I cant bash Ham till we fill the stands. Even the good teams he has had have lacked strong fan support.
Funny thing is the 49ers have a game this week against the Chargers in San Diego, a big Navy town. Wonder what kind of reception Mr. Kaepernick will receive there. LOL!!! Word has it he will set during the national anthem for that game too, as well as the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter and 4th quarter. Kaepernick will probably get cut after next week and nobody will want him after his actions. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
go stand in front of the FSU football team and tell them this...you'll probably run your fastest 40 ever right afterwards
Funny how everyone is happy to cheer for black people in subservient roles but once we find ourselves in a position to speak up for ourselves we're "playing victim." 4 planes, 3,000 dead americans, 1 day 15 years ago and most of this country still thinks Islam is out to get them. Hundreds of years of opressing black people, done with both explicit and implicit government consent. No one is "playing" victim. I still remember the threads saying Clint or Coker should start over JW. It couldn't have been talent or film making those assessments....
The facts are what they are, and jawayne24 didn't bring this topic up. Being a passive aggressive jerk bringing up standing during the anthem doesn't make anyone less of a jerk. If someone stayed on topic to begin with we wouldn't have gone down this path.
BTW, Telvin has always been as great a person as he is a football player. So this story doesn't surprise me, but I'm glad OP shared it.
Don't want to argue here but police and all LEO are a huge help everywhere. They put there life on the line everyday.
It's not all police. I have friends that are police. But they way a lot of police are abusing their power is not right. For example I was pulled for my back light being out. But the 6 police that came up to my car all had their weapons drawn at me. Why? Harassing me about my car...why? Because I have a nice car with rims and tinted windows? You have no idea what I have been thru dealing with these police.
Yup, can't walk in your shoes and you have no idea what officers have done to help my family. I got pulled over in my truck in the keys with my tail light out and three officers showed up.
You just made my point sir. They come help you. They come with weapons drawn with me. And once again I'm not saying all cops are bad. I know some cops very well..it's just the majority of them that I have run into have not been as cordial. Also I'm not one to get in any trouble or break laws but have you ever heard a cop tell you get out of your car and want to search it because your light is out?
You're right, and the facts are that police shooting statistics mirror crime statistics within roughly 1% margin of error. People of all races are being shot at approximately the same rate of the crimes being committed by any given race.
That's the fact. That's according to the FBI and DOJ statistics.
This isn't the place to necessarily discuss this, but I recommend you look at more than simple surface level statistics to make a judgement call.
He didn't make your point, he provided additional context.
I've had both experiences. I've had police show up with weapons drawn, I've had them help me get a tow truck. There's two sides to every coin. There are a few bad ones out there, but the vast majority of police are treating people very fairly.
