Thou art a boil, a plague sore
Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon
Would thou wouldst burst!

 I'll beat thee, but I would infect my hands
I am sick when I do look on thee

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
- Colin Kaepernick, 8/27/16
