Boy, does he have an inflated ego or what.
Kraperdick is a 3rd rate QB at best and he insults our country to boot. Fire the scumbag.

I think we miss a point here. This guy makes a fortune playing football, we all know that. He will continue to make a fortune as long as he produces on the field. We all know that, too.
But racism is still an unsolved issue in this country, and he has a right to make a statement on that, as much as posters on the Hog have a right to make a statement of their own.
I'm sure racism doesn't ruin his life, but he sees others he grew up with, or those similar to those he grew up with, or himself when he only dreamed of making millions of dollars a week, and he wants to make a statement on that.
In a spirit of fairness, we should consider what he says regardless of his income, and listen.

Better yet, call whatever companies that advertise during a 49ers game and tell them that you are boycotting their product.

Oh come on tward, he grew up in a middle class neighborhood with WHITE parents. He's also mixed race (1/2 white) and always a gifted athlete, so he has about as much in common with the downtrodden blacks in South Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore or DC as I do with a whale. Nice try though.

Of all the sins perpetrated by NFL stars (assault, rape, drug use, wife-beating animal abuse, to name just a few) this seems to me to be pretty minor stuff. We say we love freedom and then lose our minds when someone actually exercises it.
Ali was excoriated in his time for essentially the same thing and yet, at the time of his death, we has a revered figure in American culture.
