Olivier Vernon took a knee Snacks Harrison took a knee Landon Collins took a knee

He did not even "tweet support for Kap" like they suggest. He simply retweeted something. Who cares.

What's embarrassing is that everything Barkley supports (if he's another Kap) is that it's factually incorrect.It's been debunked many times over. But we know it's about emotions not facts or reason. It's a tantrum, really. Love the football player, but inside that adult body is a young boy that's in desperate need of wisdom. Let's hope he grows up fast. He just likes retweeting words that he thinks are "cool." Barkley is not at home studying these subjects intensely, I doubt it'll be a distraction on the field, he's a follower not an initiator. What's factually incorrect? That Kap is out of the NFL simply because of his political stance. Lots of players took that same stance are the still playing. He isn't on a team because he isn't good enough to make the headache worth it. You can kill someone and still play in the NFL if you are good enough.

I find all this talk about what a great guy Barkley is to be a little puzzling. Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but he is supposedly living with a woman not his wife, and they have a child out of wedlock. If those statements are true, then he has serious moral flaws, and he is not really such a great guy. And who are you to judge. Im sure you do things in life that others could deam as 'moral flaws' To quote 2pac 'Only God can judge me'

And who is to say that he ISNT at home studying these subjects intensely

Good for him standing up for what he believes in.
But we all know this is going to ruffle the feathers of all the 'good ol boys' who blindly 'back the blue'

It didn't seem like he was supporting his cause. More like he was supportive of him working out in case a tryout came up. Anyway, Saquon seems like a really good dude. But so did Odell year 1. Then Odell got an ego and became an individual. Hopefully Saquon stays Saquon. I hope the fame doesn't go to his head like it did to the guy in Cleveland. They were both humble and all about football in year 1. Let's hope he stays that way.

Also nobody wants the level of drama he would bring considering he's a backup Quarterback.

This makes me love Barkley even more. I find this to be very courageous, as he runs a serious risk of messing up his career by supporting Kap. Keep it up Saquon. Lmfao! He keeps this up and continues to cause drama and he'll be traded too. Daniel Jones is the face of the franchise moving forward.

You know he can support Kapernicks cause and NOT be a distraction, right

He isn't on a team because he isn't good enough to make the headache worth it. You can kill someone and still play in the NFL if you are good enough. This all may be true. But it's still speculation. Speculation is totally fine, but I think it's dangerous to declare speculations on why people did or did not do things (like hire Kap) as either factually incorrect or correct. Maybe Kap is out because he isn't good enough. Or maybe he is out because teams don't want to anger a section of their fanbase. I, and I'm assuming everyone else on these boards, isn't an NFL owner, so we have no way of really knowing. Thus, we can't be declaring anything as "factually" anything. Besides, America has a long history of penalizing the first protestor far harsher than protestors who followed. That history can't be ignored in this discussion.

He's protesting the disproportionate amount of deadly force people of color experience with police when compared to what white people experience. The national anthem isn't owned by the military.

“I’m not afraid to speak my mind,” Barkley told the New York Daily News. “If a fan wants to not be a fan of me because I retweet a thing for Colin Kaepernick, I don’t care. But I respect that people have their own opinions. Everyone is entitled to that. I just would hope that people respect I have a right to my own opinion, as well.”
all he is saying is that we should value/respect each other opinions since we all have a right to them.....
If some fan doesnt like SB because he has certain opinions then they are the people with poor "moral character" not Saquon.

The national anthem isn't owned by the military. The statistics don't fit his stance. The various peer-reviewed research journals that I have read and summarized in my own writings show an overwhelming amount of evidence of racial discrimination at every level of the criminal justice system, including use of force by police officers.

The national anthem isn't owned by the military. The statistics don't fit his stance. Black people accounted for 31 percent of police killing victims in 2012, even though they made up just 13 percent of the US population. Although the data is incomplete because it’s based on voluntary reports from police agencies around the country, it highlights the vast disparities in how police use force. Racial minorities made up about 37.4 percent of the general population in the US but they made up 62.7 percent of unarmed people killed by police. Is that enough, or would you like more statistics

In what other countries do black people get choked to death for selling cigarettes while a white man gets handcuffed after killing more than 20 at a Walmart?

Kap will never play football again. He has unrealistic salary demand for his skills. That is because he wants to be a victim. He stays more relevant being a victim than he does being buried on a teams roster as a backup.
