Obama is a politician. He wants to let Kaepernick know he supports his broken leg stance when Kaepernick agreed to be employed by the NFL. As soon as Obama said, it is Kaepernick's right to sit on his butt while he is the poster child of a Nation. I say, if you want to be a pig than get out of America. Both Obama, and Kaepernick represent a Nation. BOTH!!!! George Washington said it best, "The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is he will die on his feet before he'll live on his knees" (George Washington, 1789). Yeah' OBAMA George Washington said this!!! So, shut your pie hole, and learn from the BEST!!!

'We fight sometimes so that people can do things we disagree with. But that's what freedom means' Nail. Head.Freedom doesn't mean keep stumm. It means you, me and everyone else has the right to voice their opinion. To express their thoughts when they feel something is off. To criticise the powers that be because this isn't North Korea. People have the right to disagree with the players who did this just as much as the players right to do it in the first place. The important thing is not to bitch and moan at one another to the point nothing happens except more hatred widening the divides in the country. The point is to listen and understand both sides have their reasons and like with most things the answer is compromise. You think these players protested and risk their careers for nothing? For something they don't genuinely feel passionate about? You realise they are a voice for thousands, millions others like them? How about listening and maybe in a few years time there won't be protests to begin with. People claiming this is a disgrace to the flag are missing the point. People saying they shouldn't do this during their 'work' are closer to the mark. That is worth debating but seeing as the reason for doing this is publicity and to spark a debate and change, I can see why they did it. It certainly worked. And if they lose anything from it I'm guessing they were prepared for it.

Listen to a career politician avoiding the question. Great form, zero substance

[@jermainenobles8707]

Very well said. I always had a problem with that. Kapernick never broke any law expressing his views/ rights, but everybody willingly ignored his pain in favor of a cultural norm. We have a huge divide in this country that was here from the beginning and it's still here till this day. I do honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. But i see a longstanding injustice in our country that puts a sour taste in my mouth that most don't have to deal with.

what is wrong with you, you like to hunt and so do I and we like our 2nd amendment, and you want this libtard to run a 3rd term, that's not possible, and this same liberal you voted for, wanted to take your guns away, you are very stupid, you are on the ludicrous side of stupidity

In my Country Ghana, Jehovah witnesses does not recite the national Anthem because they believe its a form of making a covenant with the nation. Nobody is forcing it on them because we are in a free world.

[@xavier2678]

because politics does not belong in a stadium. God bless America

[@dennaneff3261]

I am voicing my opinion, as my right, that it's shameful for anyone to use an inappropriate platform to express their protests. Do it appropriately.

[@aaronpitts8119]

Take a knee during the national anthem? Really why not just leave country for ever? That would be a better result than disrespectful to us veterans.

[@geraldlejeune572]

I completely agree with what he said here. I think the problem is too many people these days just wants to fight and insult one another instead of talking about their different views on major issues.

[@disarm8475]

This is the kind of president we need not Trump New Law No Orange Presidents!

[@Breadcrumbs_1803]

Obama was an amazing president 😭

[@blue-eyedsoul4239]

The most important thing about the 1st Amendment is that is allows people to agree to disagree. I strongly believe that "Justice is Blind". However, it has become, over my lifetime, proven not always to be true. Liberty and Justice for ALL is NOT ALWAYS the case for EVERY American. How sad that has become hurts me deeply as an American.

[@scandalfan1667]

I dont know why this showed up on my KZbin, but damn. I really miss having a president.

[@whatsrightisright5054]

Thats why you sucked as a President Obama. We Stand in America, and if you choose not to thats not ok. You have the right to leave so you dont have to do things that your sensitive to. We will get our Country back in order... It will take time, but it will happen!

[@meroxxdaworld]

all he said was listen to each other....there is a reason behind every action...if people are kneeling or doing anything, they have a reason...all v have to do is be human and listen...we cant take one stand and expect others to give up...they inturn will do the same...take their stand and expect you to give up...the point is no one has to give up...just understand why it is happening and what can be done...and not just force are views on others...and let me tell you...i

[@MyRedPony1]

Anyone else here just to listen to the voice of calm and reason? I miss that man so much, and I'm not even American.

We kneel in church and stand for our flag. We ONLY kneel for God. If it was not for our founding fathers, Kaepernick would not even be here doing that at that time. Most of the people who will hate on this comment probably don't even know who our founding fathers are. Look up America's founding fathers and what they stood for before you even try commenting on this post. It is not all what the haters of justice call quote on quote "Police Brutality". Many of the people who get pulled over for traffic stops are drug dealers and criminals who don't know how to even get their own car fixed. For example, if your tail or break light is out, a cop will pull you over for the sake of everyone on the road who is driving. People with bad vision might not be able to see you and could cause an accident that leads to a death, so how are the people who can't even fix their own cars better than what you haters would call quote on quote "policy brutality"? People who do drugs in general or carry dangerous fire arms with the intent to hurt others (and not carry for strictly self defense) should belong in prison. Google the stats behind all the crimes linked with drugs or any type of substance abuse if for whatever reason you don't want to take my word on it....yes I know... the numbers are alarmingly high..More people die each year because of drugs or health problems than policy brutality and that's not even something anyone can debate, it's a straight up fact. Weigh out the pros and cons to each situation before you think you are the so called expert who can address them.

[@LeeJuly22]

Did you know salute flag only came into effect 1943 my mom is still alive born 1932 there was no flag to salute during her time.

[@robertbrowne8893]

FullFlame 152, Then make it the law of the land. Amend the Constitution to say that you stand for the flag and sing the anthem or you go to prison. This will solve the problem. Right?

I hear what he is saying. It falls back on respecting each other and helping each other. I think emotions blinds us from the bigger picture.

[@louiseelizabeth6532]

Americans who disagree with this protest know they have they right to protest it's the chosen venue that they've chosen. I have never been an Obama fan but I in listening to this the most important factor of what he is saying is we need to have the conversation by not only stating our opinion, but listening to the other side........have respect.

[@FrYLocK41]

He gave the perfect answer. There's really no right or wrong answer because both sides can be argued.
