Colin Kaepernick by Honey Betancourt https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0 What is the outcome of his peaceful protest? en-us 2017-10-12 20:24:55 UTC 2018-10-19 15:29:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294396935 Sometimes silence can be stronger than words. Even when Colin Kaepernick was in regular clothes and not participating in a game, he still proceeded to kneel during the national anthem. In an article titled “Colin Kaepernick Will Not Be Silenced,” GQ’s editors said “he has grown wise to the power of his silence”. He has managed to protest with using little to no words and has still brought people to believe and understand what he is trying to get across.

I chose Kenneth's point because it was unique than the others. The others talked about more obvious things like how he risked his career but Kenneth chose one that was hidden and needed more reading to understand. - Jorge ]]> 2018-10-18 15:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294396935 https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294398747 Having strong faith can mean risking everything. When people realized that Kaepernick was protesting, he received a lot of backlash which basically forced him to break out of his contract with his team leaving him with no job. "In November 2017, with the reality setting in that teams were not going to sign him despite his having led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance after the 2012 season, GQ named Kaepernick the magazine’s Citizen of the Year." Colin Kaepernick worked really hard to get to the NFL but he had strong faith and believed in himself and he took a risk that raised a lot of attention and awareness but in doing so, he sacrificed his job.

I chose Jorge's point because I feel as if it was the only one that really stood out and appealed to me. It was the easiest to understand and it had a lot of good support to back up what he means by it.

I choose Kenneth´s point because I believe his point was precise.He explained his point solidly throughout all his sentences,and made it easy for someone reading to figure out what Kenneth's trying to say with no confusion. - Favian]]> 2018-10-18 15:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294401314 https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294401868 Having strong faith can mean risking everything.

"On Instagram and Facebook, where the ability to recirculate posts from others can be tricky, he still rarely posts in his own voice." CK's protest gets a lot of support from social media. The people on social media became CK's voice.

I chose Jose’s point because it is a perfect explanation of what the result of CK’s actions were. The reason I say this is because the way that CK got his voice to be heard (by the people) was from the people on social media.---Ryan Rose

In "The Deafening Silence of Colin Kaepernick" the author states" A new ad by Nike featuring CK and nine words of type that, while drawing acclaim from many, also drove people to destroy their Nike gear. Colin Kaepernick, a hero to some and a pariah to others." Colin Kaepernick's protest has been supported by many athletes including Serena Williams. Colin Kaepernick's protest has also received backlash from The President : Donald Trump , himself.

I chose Jeffrey's point because it was concise and well written. It was very on the point and his inclusion of the example of Donald Trump solidifies his argument that backlash can come from anywhere so you have to be prepared.-Jordan J.]]> 2018-10-18 16:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294453917 543867 https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294454597 Silence is the power. "GQ’s editors said “he has grown wise to the power of his silence”. This shows that there is a power behind his silence and that without it, Colin Kaepernick's protest would be weakened. With his silence he has allowed others to speak for him which has shown how wide spread the issues he is protesting are, which makes the protest harder to deny and over all stronger.

I chose Jordan's point because it stood out to me. Jordan also analysed his point and gave good support as well.

"showing his protest against the pledge of allegiance demonstrates how silence can be one of the best ways to protest against what he believes is unfair giving in interviews personal cases and opinions that make them show their point of view" His protest is very effective since he was able to move numerous people in protest even to famous people but it was not effective to be a change, many took it as their way of protest did not make sense .

I chose David's point, because it makes the most sense. Everyone said that Colin was successful in his protest, However David sees the flaws in his protest when he states, "many took it as their way of protest did not make sense."

I chose Jeffrey's point because he tells us that being prepared pays off. His support about how CK didn’t stop protesting, even with all the hate he got, made CK sound like he wasn’t going to give up until something changed.

According to the business insider, "Colin Kaepernick on Thursday night once again protested by not standing, and this time he was joined by a teammate and boos from fans." This shows he was able to get reactions out of people without even saying a single word. Though he had to sacrifice his career for this protest, it was all worth it. New York Times stated in an article, "A tall, unemployed man took his niece to see Serena and Venus Williams play each other at the United States Open on Friday of last week. The man, a free-agent football player clad in a simple black T-shirt, was briefly shown on the video board at Arthur Ashe Stadium to thunderous applause from the crowd. His response was little more than a smile, enough to light up social media with messages of support." This shows that people support what his protest was about and the sacrifices he took for it. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294489296
I choose Franks point because it states that regardless of what people were saying of CK he kept going with his silent protest. Although people bad mouthed him he still went fighting for what is right. Frank saw that CK just kept protesting even though he kept having bad outcomes from people.

Showing us his silence and his views on this topic were enlightened as well when he states "not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." He made a point to everybody that he won't be standing until his own race got the respect it deserved. He started this as a symbol for what he stands for and now 2 years later, it's a revolutionary movement. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294510022 I chose Andrew's because it is a perfect example of the outcome of what CK did.

In the article by " The New York Times ", it talks about how he was invited to Serena Williams tennis match, which he probably would not have been invited to if he did not protest against The National Anthem. He gained tons of popularity, gaining millions of followers on social media, while also gaining a following in real life. He was kicked out of the NFL, but it was worth it to him because his cause was brought to attention very quickly. He also was in an ad for Nike, which brought in a ton of revenue for him and for Nike. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294511050 I chose Manuel's point because no matter what CK did he still got the popularity he was going to get with or without the protest.

Kaepernick got his point across using no more than a single line and gained the respect of many people including people like Eric Reid and Nate Boyer.

I picked Brandon's support because "Actions speak louder than words" is exactly what he's doing.He's kneeling during the national anthem.

When the people and fans saw that Kaepernick was protesting , that lead him to getting a lot of negativity which made him lose his contract with his team leaving him with no job."In November 2017, with the reality setting in that teams they were not going to sign him despite his having led the 49ers to a superbowl appearance after the 2012 season,GQ named Kaepernick the magazines Citizen of the year." Colin had strong faith and he believed in himself so he worked really hard to get back into the NFL and he took a risk that raised a lot of attention and awareness but it could of sacrificed his job.

I chose Bryan's point because it shows how sometimes being determined can lead to making sacrifices. I also chose this because it
shows that Colin Kaepernick was willing to sacrifice his own career and deal with the backlash he received when he protested.

I chose Bryan's point "Being determined can lead to sacrifice" because, it's what many people in today's society are lacking.
Colin Kaepernick is a role model in the since of being understanding of what life is like a coin, in order to have one side you must give up the other. - Brandon Rosas ]]> 2018-10-18 20:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294599733 Colin Kaepernick is willing to risk it all.

-Raena Lopez]]> 2018-10-18 20:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294601307 Actions speak louder than words. Colin Kaepernick is now considered one of the most influential athletes in the NFL due to a silent protest that involved taking a knee during the national anthem. Stating "I'm not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." Kaepernick got his point across using no more than a single line and gained the respect of many people including people like Eric Reid and Nate Boyer. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294602102 I chose Brandon's point because it grabbed my attention. He worded everything very nicely and knew what he was talking about.

He said '' I'm not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color". He was very brave by not standing up for the pledge of allegiance. His protest was peaceful because he didn't have to fight to show his courage. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294603723
I chose Kellyn's point because her point stood out from everyones else by say he was courageous. Kellyn also analysed and supported her point by using textual evidence. She brought a point to nobody used.

The article by Benjamin Hoffman tells "Their protest, which other players have continued even as Kaepernick and Reid have not been signed by any teams, continues to stir debate online, divide fans and the league owners, captivate celebrities and athletes and motivate President Trump to persistently tweet his anger over it." Colin Kaepernick gave up everything for his career by becoming a freeagent just to get his point across. Colin Kaepernick lost his spot in his team and risked it all just to get his point across and break the silence. https://padlet.com/honey_betancourt/2iqffe50hey0/wish/294604463
I chose Noah's point because it shows that people can be led to making sacrifices. I chose it because Colin Kaepernick sacrificed his whole career just to get his point across.
