"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."

Hey, POC.
You know how at the job you think you’re about to get ahead, you think things are going well, somebody might be about to put you on, and then you realized you’ve been severely played by white supremacy?
That’s what’s happening to Kap right now.
They gave him hope.

My heart is breaking for Kap.
Because he’s going to show up on Saturday. Not just ready to practice, but ready to PLAY.
He will show up & perform for a nearly empty field, give 100%, KNOWING that this is all a PR stunt & a sham. That MAYBE some coaches will look at the tape.

Kap can’t win here. He has to show up or the claim will be “He doesn’t want it.” If he gets in his head (COMPLETELY understandable) & doesn’t have a PERFECT workout, it will be “See, we told you he wasn’t good.” If it IS perfect & the coaches don’t call, what does he do?
