Kapernick could just go away

That flag represents a country in which a mediocre quarterback can earn millions, allowing him and his family a very comfortable lifestyle.

Local law enforcement is required to protect him wherever he sits on a bench during 49er football games. He probably has the best health care known, he undoubtedly has a secure future, he is idolized by many.

He is free and protected because of what that flag stands for. idolize him if you want, that's your right, but me, I wish he would just go away.
