8AM Couch Chat: Mixing Sports And Politics

Everyone’s talking about this, a Georgia Police Officer is set to lose his job this morning, after he was caught on dash cam video sarcastically telling a woman during a traffic stop, “We only kill black people”.

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis is weighing in posting on his Facebook page… he says “It’s this kind of garbage that we have to get rid of in order for us to grow as a society.” Davis went on to say… “when people get mad about Kap taking a knee to raise awareness for social injustice in America, please understand once again it’s not about disrespecting the military or the good cops that protect and serve us the right way!”

He’s talking about Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand during the National Anthem. What do you think of his statement and should sports and politics not mix?
