Kaepernick Conundrum

2. Wasn't expecting this I'm glad you guys decided to do this I enjoy both of your channels ABL anthony Brian logan would fit in well too

3. Love it…"Your pulling weeds while your house is on fire". Hope you don't mind but I'm going to start using that analogy lol

4. The best podcast ever

5. When kaepernick first kneeled, I supported him because I thought, "Of course black people shouldn't be treated badly because of their skin color." As time went on, I saw how fake he was, especially with the nike deal. Why am I hearing about this guy getting a major brand deal instead of making major breakthroughs in the issues he cares so much about? I was blinded by white guilt, thinking that I should support a black man simply because he's black. I couldn't think objectively out of fear of being seen as racist by my own community. I truly believed that I was supporting a righteous cause, and that's why I'm so disgusted now, I was lied to. I don't think it's as much brainwashing as it is bandwagon mob mentality. That's what's the problem with politics nowadays (and i appreciate the acknowledgement that both sides perpetuate), we just want our side to win- but what is the end game? The left thinks one day everyone on the right will change their minds or disappear into thin air? And vice versa? Bigfoot riding a unicorn. Sides may disagree on the hot button issues, but everybody can agree that we all want safety and health for ourselves and families. The gun-toting conservative and the hybrid-driving liberal both want a good meal and a warm bed to sleep in. It might be cheesy and over simplified, but that simple idea gives me hope that soon we will stop fighting about our ideas, and start competing for solutions. I work as an EMT (In IFT, not 911) and I've gained immeasurable respect for law enforcement that I didn't have three years ago in my dirtbag high school days. Great video, great content Mike. Big thanks to you and the underpaid producer.

6. I could watch a whole ass season of this

7. Fuck the police

8. BLACK EX COP CONNING FOR CLOUT…

9. Thank you gentlemen

10. Why don’t u have Brandon back on your videos, u both are great….

11. Everyone is stupider for listening to this hyperbole of personal political agendas with no facts to support these baseless claims… if you are going to accuse the other side of being emotional and lacking logic than don't act emotional and without logic yourselves. Seriously lost a lot of respect for Mike the Cop for letting emotions and lack of facts determine his opinions.

12. This dude is super smart! And not talking about his statistics at all…. Just based on his common sense and not wanting a hand out just for his skin tone! And I love the "white guilt" thing! Soooo damn true! Non white races would probably rather you not "act" concerned for them as a white person because now you're not only embarrassing yourself but then also! Lol. Great video Mike! I know I'm late on it but…. Still great content!

13. Could listen to him speak all day!!
    BTW : where's my Big Foot Unicorn t-shirt? Lol

14. How u going to say the social justice warriors have a money making mentality when right before that u said u further ur career of a viral video now u a spoke person

15. Damn man, that house fire vs weeds analogy was good. People are being brainwashed into missing the bigger picture. "Forest for the trees"

16. Using racial slurs against either side is ok. It's called free speech.

17. Nike's stock price is actually soaring.

18. Many other countries are far more openly racist than Americans. We are the melting pot of the world. Australia has a lot of racism against the Aborigines. For whatever reason the world likes to pick on America and point out all our flaws. I guess that’s the price of being on top, everyone below is trying to take you down. 🤷🏻‍♂️

19. I saw in a previous video where you stated you believed in the public exercising their second amendment rights. I don't understand why you don't have the same consideration for their 1st amendment rights?

20. This guy talks about facts and spews false stats.

21. This is why the main stream narrative (to whom mike the cop is a mouthpiece thereof) give anyone who protests police brutality and toxic nationalism: As recently as 2015, the Department of Defense was doling out millions to the NFL for such things as military flyovers, flag unfurlings, emotional color guard ceremonies, enlistment campaigns, and — interestingly enough — national anthem performances. Additionally, according to Vice, the NFL’s policy on players standing for the national anthem also changed in 2009, with athletes “encouraged” thereafter to participate. Prior to that, teams were not given any specific instructions on the matter; some chose to remain in the locker room until after opening ceremonies were completed. (It’s unclear whether the policy change was implemented as a direct result of any Defense Department contracts.)
    In 2015, Arizona Sens. Jeff Flake (R) and John McCain (R) revealed in a joint oversight report that nearly $5.4 million in taxpayer dollars had been paid out to 14 NFL teams between 2011 and 2014 to honor service members and put on elaborate, “patriotic salutes” to the military. Overall, they reported, “these displays of paid patriotism [were] included within the $6.8 million that the Department of Defense (DOD) [had] spent on sports marketing contracts since fiscal year 2012.”
    Among the more wasteful expenditures were a payment to the Atlanta Falcons to have a National Guard member sing the national anthem and a payment to the Minnesota Vikings for the “‘opportunity’ to sponsor its military appreciation night.”
    Overall, the Defense Department spent at least $10.4 million on “marketing and advertising contracts with professional sports teams” across the board between 2012 and 2015, although, the report noted, the department “[could not] accurately account” for the full number of contracts and payouts it had awarded. “It only reported 62 percent (76 of 122) of its contracts and 70 percent ($7.3 million) of its spending in its response to our inquiry,” the senators wrote.

22. "an ugly nasty looking prostitute" bwahahahahahhahah!! So there's the real issue right there!

23. if Kaepernich truly was fighting/kneeling for blacks and people of colour he wouldn't have signed a multi-million dollar contract with Nike and company with more than two decades and accusations, in court and out of court settlements, and countries shutting down sweatshops and using child labour abusing people of colour but maybe they where not black enough or wasn't going to buy enough of his merc or retweed enough whatever he makes his money on this days

24. I'd love to see you respond sherry graham potter's post to Nike.

25. One of the interesting things about SJW Colin Kaepernick is that his adoptive parents – the people who lovingly raised him – are white. I find that ironic.

26. Nike didn't lose billions, I thought you did research.

27. Colin kapernick is the modern day Muhammad Ali and will go down in history as such his name will be mentioned in history books for ages 2 come with rosa parks and Martin Luther king

28. There is so much stupidity it is stultifying. Nike did not lose $4 billion dollars. Not in market capitalization, nor in Gross Revenue nor in Net Income. The stock price of NIKE is at it's all time high. Which means it's market cap is at an all time high. You are a cop, stick to that .You don't have a BS in Finance. The dolts that follow you are going to think NIKE lost $4 extra large. Not helpful. The only thing I can think for why you said this, other than terminal ignorance is that you are short the stock or long puts. Stop, just stop it.

29. One of the best "real" conversations I have heard in a long time. Thank you both for using facts not emotion to address the core of these issues. Too bad you can't convince the emotion people to breathe and listen.

30. colin assernick

31. I'm curious on your opinion about the recent story in Dallas of an officer shooting a black man in the black man's own apartment. Over the last few days, there were spins in the facts and it's clear either the officer is lying, the investigators are lying or the media is lying. I'm all about facts. It doesn't seem we have easy access to them these days.
