Why do you assume I'm in agreement with Kaepernick?

I think Ravens attendance and PSL renewal is down more so because of the shitty boring product they've put on the field the past few years. Kaepernick definitely plays a part, but I don't think he's the main reason for the decline.

As an American I reserve the right to not spend my money on any product that I choose not to. I will not spend another $1 on a NIKE product. I will not give my money to foreign owned businesses. I just will not do it. I will not support shit I don't agree with.

Not saying you don't have that right. If you don't want to spend your money on Nike products that's cool. It's not going to hurt the company in any shape or form though.

If the Ravens would have signed that Bum. I would no longer be rooting for them and that is a fact. I love my team but I will not waiver in my beliefs for no one.

Just curious but why do you draw the line at Kaepernick? The Ravens have employed some terrible human beings that have been in actual legal trouble. That didn't stop you from being a fan, but Kaepernick would?

I didn't really care about Kaepernick kneeling. That's his right and I do think his message was important. But his immaturity (pig socks, defending Castro, etc) diluted that message. To be fair though Trump's immaturity hasn't really helped things.

I tend to wear hiking shoes and or boots most of the time for the stability. New Balance here or there I will find a decent tennis shoe but I prefer Brooks. They were pretty comfortable for me and I hate running.

I bought a pair of Baffin snow boots and they are really nice. Very light weight and 100% waterproof.

Under Armour shoes started off ok, they are straight up garbage the past few years. I bought a pair and they fell apart in 2 weeks

I wear Merrell a lot as well. Pretty much my go to.

Some are offended, some aren't, it's really that simple. To push roughly 20 million Veterans onto one side or the other of the Anthem debate (bc you know a Vet who feels a certain way) is just stupid. We're as diverse (and sometimes just as stupid) as any other American microcosm

stop burning yall shes LOL

Oh I thought my money wasn't going to hurt them in anyway shape or form?

Oh wow a whopping 3%. That's really going to hurt them

You bring up Trump in a Colon Krapernick debate over that racist piece of shit being unemployed? LOL What is next you going to blame TRUMP for the smog or wild fires out in California? Is he responsible for everything? LOL

I brought up Trump to show how immature both sides of the argument are being. I in no way blamed him for what's going on with Kapernick. Just pointing out that he's fanning the flames.

If you believe the Ravens attendance isn't down because of in parts their Kneeling in London you are sadly mistaken and you are in the VAST Minority on that front.

Read what I posted again. I said the Kaepernick issue (kneeling) played a part. But I think the shitty boring product is the main factor.

I refuse to root for any piece of human waste like Krapernick or company or sports franchise who wants to force their false narrative and racist views down my throat. Nope, not going to subscribe to it in any way shape or form.

Ray Rice beat his girlfriend. He manned up took his punishment and lost everything based on his actions. Did he once blame the police, did he once blame white people for anything that happened to him? Nope. He got a raw deal and no one is rallying for him.

Ray Lewis was in wrong place hanging with the wrong people and was part of a horrible crime. Did he blame trump, did he blame the police, was he the face of negativity all across the country based on False narratives and made up bullshit like Police killing black people? NOPE.

So you are way off base when you say there were worse people employed here.

Did Ray Lewis wear a Slave master TSHIRT at his hearing? No but I remember someone here reporting Colin Krapernick did.

So a guy that knocked out his wife, and a guy involved in a double murder (obstruction of justice) aren't worse than a guy that kneels?

Yeah Kaepernick has done/said stupid things but he's never been in legal trouble. You can't hold a guy to a higher standard just to support your point.

Nice having you back Saw. I mean that, not trying to be a dick.

People burning shoes they spent their hard earned money on. Makes sense.

If they're really that offended why not turn it into something good? Give those shoes to the less fortunate. Don't burn them for shock value.
