And I had a convservative neighbor who thinks of me as a "fringe liberal".. but yeah, we're friends..

1. Probably because the knuckledraggers are buying it and burning it in effigy.

[vkkv]

3. By all means, please report it if you see that.

[Buzz Clik]

4. Oh, yeah. They're out there:

[rurallib]

5. Kind of reminiscent of cross burnings

they're playing the oldies again.

[Buzz Clik]

8. Just like the battle flag, "It ain't a symbol of racism! It's our heritage."

wink wink

[Dustlawyer]

10. So they are burning his jersey as PROTEST for Kaepernick's protest?

Oh, the irony is so thick it hurts!

[vkkv]

11. Not the sharpest... I kind of doubt there are many of these idiots going out to BUY new shirts

just to bring home and burn them when they could be burning books or something else..

[Buzz Clik]

12. Yeah, but burning a jersey doesn't respect 'Muricka.

Sitting during the anthem is traitorous.

Flying the battle flag of the secessionists is "heritage" and not a sign of disloyalty to 'Muricka.
Begging your state to secede from the Union also is not disloyalty.

But sitting during the anthem is.

2. Can we wear them to the polls just to turn Alt-Right voters off?

[Feeling the Bern]

13. I hate that phrase alt-right. Call them what they are. Racist, sexist, conservative xenophobes.

6. He'd better get that money while he can...

His future is dubious at best...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. I'm betting that all those jerseys are being bought up in the belief that

Kaepernick will lose his position on the team, and the existing jerseys will be worth a fortune on eBay.

As if.

[Buzz Clik]

9. He's made all the roster cuts, and he sits as the backup.

He's fine for this year.

[LeftyMom]

14. They have to pay him anyway and he's got the highest ceiling of the 3 QBs on the roster.

If he heals up and gets in condition (he's recovering from surgery and to my eye he's lost a ton of muscle mass) and starts setting the world on fire they'll sit Gabbert or Ponder.

God, that was depressing to type as a lifelong Niner fan.

Next year somebody will pay him even if just for depth: there's a real shortage of QB talent in the league and somebody will bet on his physical gifts and hope he'll improve under consistent coaching and a functional front office. But that'd be at a reclamation project price tag.

In any case he's not in any danger of going back to the valley and working at the cheese factory.

15. That's a thwarted hater's fantasy.

All the proceeds are going to charity. He's clearly a decent person with a clear conscience.

16. Our hero.
