what he's doing. Even as a non-49er fan, I'm with him 100% on this. Plus with how he protested last night, the talking heads and Internet ranters can't honestly say he's "disrespecting our troops". They know full well he's addressing racial inequality and not intending to disrespect the military. I'm sure they'll be busy finding another way to twist what he's doing, though. They're desperate.
