Related: About this forumSteve KKKing once again opens mouth, inserts foot.
I'm going to ask the TH why they print horseshit like this;
U.S. Rep. Steve King says Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem is "activism that is sympathetic to ISIS."
The 49ers quarterback has sat or has taken a knee while the anthem has been played in protest of what he says is the oppression of blacks and other minorities.
The Iowa Republican says in an interview with Newsmax TV that if he were Kaepernick's coach, he would tell the player that "until you take a knee and beg forgiveness from the American people, you're not going to set a foot on this field again."

King should donate his brain to science. Today for immediate delivery.

Well, of course he has a right under the Constitution to do it...but he shouldn't....and if he does he should be fired, or beaten up, or put in jail, or deported.....but of course he has a right to do it.
