Ulriksen added, “This is 49er country, and my mom and I have been going back and forth — she’s upset that players have brought politics into sports, but I say, ‘How would you feel if you had to show up at work every day and salute a country that treats black people like second-class citizens?’
“I’m glad that Colin Kaepernick and Michael Bennett are making it political,” he said. “I’m sure that if King were around today, he’d be disappointed at the slow pace of progress: two steps forward, 20 steps back. Or 10 yards back, as the metaphor may be.”
Kaepernick started his movement last season with the goal of raising awareness of the oppression people of color in the United States face. He started sitting for the national anthem, before ultimately deciding taking a knee would be the better stance, after talking with former NFL player and Army Ranger Nate Boyer.
Since then, NFL players joined Kaepernick in his protest, including Bennett. The Seahawks defensive end has long been outspoken on the topic, but started sitting for the national anthem in the 2017 season.
“I hope that I can activate everybody to get off their hands and feet and go out into the communities and push helping each other,” Bennett said, via NFL Network’s Steve Wyche, on why he was sitting for the anthem. “Sit down with somebody that’s the opposite sex, sit down with somebody that’s the opposite race, different religion and understand that people are different and go out and join the community and try to change the society, change what you’re a part of. If you don’t like it, keep changing it.”
Since starting his protest, Kaepernick has yet to be signed by an NFL team after the conclusion of the 2017 season. But he has continued his activism, and inspired others to create change in the world.

sjw warriors are liars by default. we know this already. look at all the monkeyshines they bring with treyvon martin, mike brown and all the rest we don’t need to mention because all of it is a false narrative using race and political correctness to malign and remove law and order and ruin our criminal justice system by giving trash an entitlement they don’t deserve and making excuses for why they feel it’s is their duty to destroy america and fill our prisons , kill white people and rob, rape and disrespect the police and our flag. it only gets worse until we put a stop to it. this whole criminal justice thing is a huge scam to deny American’s our right to live in a society where police can do their jobs and animals are allowed to prey upon us anytime they like. they scream racism but they are the racists. now they are ruining the nfl. boycott it and boycott anything these sjw warriors attach themselves to.
NOTE: Kapernick is a moron but this is a porn site. Take your slurs and politics elsewhere next time. The slurs were censored because the people that hate this site loooooooooooooove playing the race and victim cards and this just plays into their hands. They’ll screen shot this and post it all over leftist Twitter and have a field day with it. Maybe you’re one of them trying to make this site look bad with this post full of racial slurs but this won’t be approved next time. Wrong site.
