Like I've stated before... Im African American. I get his frustration. But he also apologized for the article I've seen you qoute before and rephrased his comments to make the message clear to all. I qouted the article above...

TWO DGD in support of Kap!!! Gooooo Dawgs!
Amen, Amen, & Amen !!!
I’m not wading into this whole thing and I think your position is completely reasonable, as are some of the others’ on here. Everyone’s allowed to have their own opinions and thank god for that. I do think it sucks that you actually have to say that you’re black on here(not saying anything about you, just in general).
We’re all Dawg fans or we wouldn’t be on here. I might even give a Russian the benefit of the doubt if he or she could have a good conversation about UGA football lol. I like it that all Georgia fans aren’t just old white guys and as I’ve gotten older and crankier I’ve actually stopped and thought about the fact that most of the players that I live and die with are black and that I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t at least try to see their POV more often. I get nervous enough as a early 40s white guy when I get pulled over by a cop. I know I haven’t done anything wrong but it brings me back to my younger days when I may have had something in the car. I can’t imagine having real reasons for being scared when I have to deal with a cop. I don’t think I or anyone can understand without having experienced it.
Anyway, the season is here now so hopefully we can start focusing on the games. Goooo Dawgs!!
Come on Man! Please stop the race-baiting. There's only One Race... The Human Race
Seeing things with nuance on a spectrum and not in a binary manner is a strength, not a weakness.
I hate this post, but thank you for service!
Whoa. I simply posted the quote attributed to Kap by USA Today. I don't know if you are saying I rephrased his comments or a Kap did. I gave no commentary. If you are saying Kap rephrased his comments after this quote--there is another name for that. It is called back pedaling. There was nothing unclear about what he said the first time. I posted it because people seem confused on how this started.
People are so polarized on this issue that it appears they will never find common ground. It never helps to foster civility when folks dismiss out of hand opposing views.
Bottom line--we can't dictate to another person what is or is not offensive to that person. That holds true for both sides of the debate on kneeling during the anthem.
In this case both sides are exercising their rights. If you can't find common ground, at he end of the day, you agree to disagree and move on to things you can agree upon.
Playing the race whistle us your mantra. Again, it's what you do when you know your arguement is a crap. As for your respect, I could care less. At least we agree on that. Also, to assume that all black dawg fans share your racist views just shows your desire to be divisive. Your a petty little person who wants to do nothing but try and put people in general categories to fit your and pathetic world.
As for those Dawg players that support what's his name, that is their right, and while I disagree with them, I respect that right. See that is the difference between you and I. When I disagree someone, I still respect their opinion and don't try to throw them in a group based on their skin color.
Not every killing is murder, but I know what you are getting at. However, you where the one that said "Killings black Men is direspectful."
You are by far the biggest racist on this board
Knowshon another DGD in support of KAP goooo DAWGS!!!
Yeah how dare him throw out FACTS.... LMAO
I do like this notion better than just burning everything
TODD GURLEY seems to be on board as well, should I keep proving my point, that most of your favorite BLACK PLAYERS SIDE WITH KAP. Are they racist and unpatriotic as well? I’ll wait.
No racism here just seeking social justice.
So don't bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you. -The Bible
But one race has slaughtered a lot of other races! Notice the prestigious army shirt, thanks for your service sir ! If this picture doesn’t speak volumes you guys really don’t care or get it. Look at the little smirks. But I’m the racist, right ?
What about Herschal. The GOAT Dawg....

Also, it seems Gurley and Moreno are only supporting to give you Nike crap to a vet instead of burning it.
But you twist it anyway you want. Also, like others on here I am growing tired of this **** subject and your racist thinking, therefore this is my last post on the has been QB. So it's all yours.
