I just found it pathetic that ol' Rog is so fearful of backlash from the left that he called Trump's comment "divisive" when his players kneeling and throwing up black power signs is what's causing all of this talk in the first place. And none of the talk is productive. It's just causing people to hate each other.

Well, this is one interpretation amongst others. But why isn't the one and only issue here that Kaepernick et al. exercise their constitutional rights - while your president advocates for them not having the possibility or allowance to do so. That, I feel, is the important thing, not so much if one agrees with Kaep or not.
