Egotistical SOB. No denying it now, not even for 49ers fans. What's next?...

Its a good idea. People are selling t-shirts etc. Why not make sure the proceeds of such sales go to the right place instead of another individual owning it who was just the first in line. It is pretty much his intellectual property, not someone elses since he created the image that led to the nickname (not sure how it came out). For all you know Nike or the NFL could of approached him to do so. One of his representatives obviously did.
Do you even know why he kisses his biceps in the first place? His tattoos are bible scriptures and its to honor the scriptures. I am not religious so don't know more details.
I don't think its fair to call him an egotistical SOB.
I am not trying to cause anything but if anything I think Kaepernick wants less attention on him, not more.

Would you believe me if I told you I honored God by using my bible as a fleshlight? I mean, really, dude. Come on.

RolandDeschain wrote:49ers fans just keep reppin' their fan base well around here. Yeah, he claims it's a sign for the Lord. Problem is, kissing your bicep has had an entirely different meaning for a very long time before this, and it's rather opposite from what most people think the Bible teaches. What a joke. Talk about a ridiculous cop-out.GeorgeKush wrote:Isn't this similar to manziel trademarking "johnny football" and tebow's "tebowing"?
Equally stupid, and I bashed him in a thread about it at the time.

Couldn't that apply to actions as well?

Sure it could, but give me any evidence whatsoever that kissing your bicep has changed its meaning.

i don't know if you'd call it arrogant.. but supposedly the bible says you're not suppose to mark your body , meaning not suppose to get tattoos.. so to get a tattoo of bible scriptures then honor it during your td celebration, when it goes against the teachings of the bible.. may not be arrogant but i'm sure the bible has a word for it... my word would be ignorant if this is indeed true.
yep spiking the ball at a defenders head and getting a 15 yrd unsportsmanlike penalty is the very definition of the phrase class act...mretrade wrote:I really don't know if he is profiting from it, but I doubt it. People trademark intellectual property for protection as well, not just for financial gain. I saw that Nike was making a shirt. I am not familiar with the structures of merchandising sales but I do believe the revenue is shared amongst the players and does not go to a certain one.
He clearly did not start taking a knee and kissing his tattoo of bible scriptures for his own financial gain. The odds of Nike approaching him or one of his representatives approaching him to do so is really high.
If you listen to him speak or cast less judgement, I don't think you would find him an arrogant SOB. He seems like a class act from what I have seen.

He's coming off as a douche more with his actions, rather than words. We all know which speaks louder. I'll be curious to see what the future holds.

Maybe some of you should stop being 14 years old and grow up

Anybody's a douche that kisses their bicep as a celebration for anything. It's not limited to just him.
Shaz wrote:Yeah I don't buy that one bit

That's fine. I'm not trying to sell. Perhaps you're too desperate to buy.
