Irrelevant ... the combined image speaks for itself ... although interpretations of that combined image can vary.
My take ... Colin was kneeling to protest police treatment of Blacks as demonstrated in the image to the right.

They are kind of related. Kapernick got paid a huge sum and so will Georges family.

Kaepernick thing was when I knew a lot of Americans are confused about their actual beliefs.
I heard the argument Kap is bringing politics into sports and I don't want that over and over, but if kneeling during the national anthem is a political act, then standing during the national anthem is a political act. One can't be political without the other being political. So these people far from wanting politics out of sports, wanted politics in sports and wanted to force these players to perform the political act of standing during the national anthem, yet they twisted this argument into, Oh I just want politics out of sports. This is how a lot of political discussions go. People hiding or unaware of what they really believe and the implications of those beliefs. They just know they are a good person, so their political opinions are good.

Standing is showing respect to our flag and thus to our nation. Kneeling is showing disrespect. When one learns that Kaepernick has communist sympathies it puts his kneeling in a different light.
Yeah it means he's smarter than we think he is

The trash is implied. No need to mention it when speaking of someone from Jersey.
