    When did Trump chant that?

    Because, if Trump had chanted that, and I supported him, I'm pretty sure you would say I was signing on to that chant.

    I guess you missed the reaction to his appearance.

    Yep. Bunch of people complained online.

    James Corden kissed him.

    Accusing those who protest inequality, discrimination and police brutality of not liking America is bullshit.

    As Costas said, patriotism comes in all forms. You don't get to claim the higher moral ground as a default position.

    And apologized for it:

    “In truth, I’m disappointed by as well. I have been reading a lot of harsh comments on Twitter today, and I hear you loud and clear. Truly, I do.”

    It's almost as if people's objections to Trump are not necessarily partisan.

    OK, you're signing onto "grabbing them right by the pussy." Congrats.

    Also, too, you're assuming this is still all about Kaepernick. From what I've read, Charlottesville was what brought many of the protesters in 2017 to their knees. Why not listen to what the players are actually saying, rather than dictating "Well, if you do <this> then you believe <that>?"

    Does Kaepernick like America?

    I'm not trying to put words in the guys mouth. Everything he has said on the issue indicates he doesn't.

    When you compare America unfavorably to Cuba, I've got to think you have issues with our country that go beyond discrimination and police brutality.
