Why is Reid talking about Colin after this embarrassing loss?

It is not that serious... its after the game he didn't wear it during the game. Cam.. Rivera whoever all wear random Tee shirts supporting their causes during interviews and I personally find it admirable at Reid supporting his friend whom he believes should be given every chance he has been given. Yall wouldn't even know who Reid was if Donald didn't put the target on his back. Get over it.

What's really funny, the majority of people who continue to follow and complain are the same ones who would use the term "snowflake" unironically

Never said all cops, just the ones who do abuse their authority.

Listen, I am of the absolute belief that all cops are not bad. That would be an insane thing to genuinely believe.

But it is also ridiculous to think it abuse isnt a problem, unless its every single officer.

This.

Show me that statistic and I will show you a liar.. put some stats behind that and I will as well..

I will see if I can google that study.  I have to clarify...white cops though.  One conclusion was that a black officer is more likely to shoot an apparent-arm black suspect than their white counterparts.  In other words, black cops were more trigger happy.  And if the rampant bad-cop theory exists (see race related shootings) then that kinda falls flat on its merits.

"Snowflake" and all comes from the Republican :I can be racist and not be called racist because your to sensitive party". I know everyone isn't racist of course. But if you look at the people who say snowflake and hate Kap they all come from one place and have one thing in common just saying.

Well that should be some interesting statistics since cops are almost overwhelmingly white. Not to mention black people are more likely to live in urban areas which are much more likely to be policed heavily than mayberry. Guess who has a much more likely chance to run into the police who is much more likely to be white and not of the same race?

I beg to differ.  He is dead serious.  I absolutely know who Reid is. and was Stop with the condescending attitude 

Imho after the team that is paying you gets embarrassed, is not the time for displaying  pet causes

NBC, in Lieu of the night game just had Tony Dungy and others talk a lot about Kaepernick and his “workout”

Tony Dungy stated that 3/4 of the league were slated to show up, but also wanted to interview Colin. Their questions would have included “are you prepared to do everything and anything to help our team win” etc. 

Colin changed the venue at the last minute 60 miles away to a high school.

who the hell does that?  If you were actually wanting to play, you would be honored that so many were willing to attend and show off your gracious behavior, willingness to be apart of a team.

he doesn’t want to actually play football, obviously. It’s just lip-service to draw attention.

thats why no one wants to sign him. 

with the league highlighting Lamar Jackson as a possible MVP,  having Patrick Mahomes last year and highlighting him this year, Kyler Murray, Desean Watson, and of course Russell Wilson— Colin doesn’t have one leg to stand on.

each of those are committed to their teams and football. That’s what teams want to see— and of course results.

Why is it not the time? The game is over.. your not required to have on Panthers gear and be sad because you lost.. you want him to sulk and look moody because they got thumped? Didn't cam get torched for the same attitude for years? "He gets sad and looks uninterested attitude" people love to flame cam about for years. You want him to do that? I see nothing wrong with some positivity and supporting your friend after the game. He's basically off the clock.. has other interests out side just football at that point.

But guess where most of the black cops work?  You guessed it, the inner cities.  Again, I think everyone agrees if it has been shown to be a race-based bias shooting by a white cop, it should be 100% a conviction.  However, it has to be proven that it was race based and not the cop defending his life against a perpetrator that just happens to be black. If proven, prosecute all the way.

Again, I think it is an issue, but not the epidemic that Kaep says it is.  More blacks in Detroit, Philly, Baltimore and Chicago are picking off one another at a WAY higher rate than white cops.  For whatever reason, that just gets swept aside though.  I know why. It's fairly obvious.

some things can be done but doesn’t mean they should be done 

he wanted the to be asked about Colin. He invited it with that jersey 
he is in the Panthers locker room...a losing Panthers locker room. Not Colin’s workout or living room 

sorry I supported his coming here

how dare Eric Reid answer a question from the press

he should just stick to playing football and entertaining the masses

This thread Is deteriorating....no politics 

It's hard to talk about Ried and Kaep without doing so.  Why?  Their platform is highly politically motivated.  On the merits:  Reid is an average SS that will miss a ton of tackles going to the big hit and Kaep is a washed up QB that might make a decent backup, but his days as a starter are long over.

Why the heck not bring him in? Were already in this circus... Get him on contract for the rest of the year and lets see what happens. We could pull out Cams plays and it would work. Worse comes to worse we lose anyway and next year he is gone. 

Whether you approve or disapprove of CK is a moot point.  Colin has political baggage.  

Do you want a dedicated Quarterback who wants the team to win?  Or do you want a Quarterback who uses your team to promote a political agenda?

It is clear the NFL wants him on a team.  But is it for the right reasons.   Does the NFL have the best interest in your team?

Wow, I agree with a Saints fan!
