I hear what you are saying, DJ. Now you are talking about opinion. If there was a written rule that being broken your point would be sound.
You should stand by what you said since you said it...
Why does Kaepernick's points of his protest have no merit?

It's also not a written rule you don't take a shower with hot coals from the barbecue pit, but it's something we all know not to do. Common sense is what it's called.
kaepernicks points have no merit because until he started his anti-American bullshit, he wasn't oppressed. He was a multi-millionaire making millions a year. Oppressed my ass. Now had it been some guy from the 'hood that was down on his luck and having a bad run, then I could understand it. Now, since kap is out of a job, he still has millions in the bank, so he needs to just move on. He didn't get blackballed by the owners, he blackballed himself. He took a stand, but it was a bad one to take.
OK, let's look at oppression. Long before the underground railroad and long before the middle passage, how about all the Jews that had the same thing done to them, or the American Indians. You don't go around seeing them with a chip on their shoulder. The jews said this holocaust bullshit will never happen again, that's why their armed forces are one of the best in the world, and Israel don't take no shit from nobody. The American Indians have never recovered and may never recover, so if you think you have a monopoly on being oppressed, think again. People have been fucking over other people since the days of Adam and Eve.
Lastly if you think there aren't consequences when people try to protest the National Anthem, then pick your stories to read from this link. This is what happens when you bring children into politics. Some adult coach thought he was being cool, and it turned into a disaster for everybody.
