Pretty shitty if you ask me.

I'm not sure if it's a majority of people...plus, more players are doing it and white players are starting to show support.  It seems like Kaepernick was the one to do it first and he fell on his proverbial sword ala Ray Rice with domestic abuse, but more players are doing it and it's getting less specific.  

Kaepernick isn't even on an NFL team to kneel on the sidelines and he's still getting the heat for it while current players do it.  Do we know all their names?  I know I don't.  Marshawn Lynch doesn't stand, but I guess that fits in with his attitude or something.  This seems like something that will continue, but as long as Kaepernick goes down in flames for it and we aren't constantly alerted by the media that others are doing it it MIGHT die down.

Kaepernick being banned for life from the NFL for starting this and the reality that eventually everyone's favorite NFL team will have at least one guy who is kneeling will likely help the whole thing be a rather unpleasant normality.  Life goes on for most.  Football starts.
