"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. 
There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder. This is not something that I am going to run by anybody. I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. ...
If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right."

Been reading pieces about the @NFL statement. How can we take them seriously until they make things right w/#ColinKaepernick. Strong piece @hbryant42. How will we hold @NFL accountable? They exiled a player for speaking out against racism.

@NFL @hbryant42 From @hbryant42: 'next step toward real truth is opening door to signing Kaepernick -- a move closed for ~4yrs. If remains closed, this flashpoint will be remembered as moment the NFL admitted it handed out a life sentence, admitted it was wrong -- & still did nothing about it.'
@NFL @hbryant42 And fans are complicit… we all are. It is not just that one person was wronged; his career destroyed in plain sight of the world; but the message was clear; stay in your place… and fans, what did we do? We let it happen. And the kneeling was mischaracterized… what did we do?
When #ColinKaepernick first took a knee, I was disturbed, disturbed enough to re-read things I hadn't read for awhile, disturbed enough to watch speeches I hadn't seen in awhile, disturbed enough to finally concede that my first disturbed look was that of a white football fan.
When seeing #Trump's tweet last night threatening to use U-S armed forces to shoot #AfAmericans anywhere and everywhere in the U-S, I was disturbed enough to remember how I first felt about #Kaepernick and his knee and apologize to him in my thoughts for my initial reaction.
But today it's time for thoughts to be turned into words. Many people, in my opinion,in various walks of life, owe him an apology. They can make their choices. I've made mine. Dear Mr #Kaepernick You were right, and I was wrong. Your knee spoke from a position of strength.

"Finalement, il a cessé de parler et est devenu silencieux. A ce moment, il avait l'air mort. Il semblait qu'il manquait d'énergie et de temps et était en train de mourir lentement. J'ai déjà vu la police être agressive mais jamais tuer quelqu'un devant moi»

#MeganRapinoe said to Trump last night on @AC360:
‘Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of color. You’re excluding, you know, Americans that maybe support you.”
