Source: Deadline Detroit
But his harshest message came during the the bridge of Born Free, when he decided to comment on the upcoming NFL season and quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49er quarterback who is currently a free agent.
At that moment, Kid Rock, aka Robert James Ritchie, delivered a short message for Kaepernick, who gained national attention in 2016 for not standing during the National Anthem prior to games to protest treatment of people of color.
Footballs about ready to start, Kid Rock said. You know what? Fuck Colin Kaepernick.

(24,461 posts)Utterly ridiculous that these people refuse to see that kneeling for the flag is ALSO a right.
It'd be nice if Americans took their voting choices as seriously (and with as much fervor) as they did with people standing or not standing for a song.

nini
(16,672 posts)the freedom to do these protests even if one doesn't agree with it.
To question their right to do that is NOT a Democratic trait.

(1,399 posts)Support for Kaepernick is not about free speech. It's about supporting his courage to speak the truth.
Young black men are being murdered by design by law enforcement and way too many people, many of whom we claim as friends, are scared to say it or don't believe it.
