so, does an owner have a right to fire colin kaepernick for taking a knee? yes. is it wise to do so? no. and i think we have -- this distinction between walt we have right to do and what we ought to do from a sense of wisdom and respect for the overall ideals of the country. [applause] >> sir. [inaudible question] >> it's a free done i -- at the question is where die take issue with ben shamir row and where do i not. we're different people. some respects i agree with him and many respect its don't. i've always been very much kind of a social libertarian or liberal in my thinking gut that's really neither her nor there ben shapiro who has a broad following and interesting and dynamic speaker and interesting for college audiences. it and is insane that someone like him, who is by no means an extremist, should be treated as one. all it does is demonstrate that the real extremists are the people who find ben shapiro extreme. yes. [inaudible question] >> would have to be clear there are two homonyms, steddle, not to be confused with s-hole, although the steddles were

>> well, this is america and i think this issue that colin kaepernick originally started has been really mixed up, man. taking a knee even was taking a sign of submission and respect to the flag. this is crazy. this is america and outside of the workplace we should continue to protest what we don't think is right. neil: what do you think happens if any player on either side tomorrow does just that, takes a knee? >> he may be risking what we hate to call a black ball in the league, but you've got to understand there's a player out there that's the principal that started this in colin kaepernick and his physical abilities and his background dictates that he's worthy of a position in this game. i think that maybe the players association ought to consider hiring collin or giving him a job if no team owner will give him a job. neil: well we're not going to see any progress on that front. we are seeing progress in the bidding war for cousins. the washington redskins and now the team that team ended a horrific year yet he could have 130, $150 million contract coming his way. do you think that's

colin kaepernick still doesn't have a job.ric reed who's going to be a free agent who protested with colin doesn't have a job. and i think this all falls on dmoor smith and the nfl players association. how are you going to defend and protect the players who have protested and keep them from being punished? they're two different issues here, but clearly this season, to me, to the credit of the nfl and the players has been defined by protests, and i think that's a great thing. >> i mentioned the odds at the top. you look at the odds being cast on the eagles being mentioned in the first tweet, those are hiner the patriots being mentioned. there's an expectation where the game is the president going to weigh in. some people that's going to happen tonight. in light of what bill was saying, we focus on the protests themselves. i wont if that's at the deficit of other conversations. has the conversation shifted the conversation? >> that was his goal. there has never in the history of this country been a protest led by black people fo

you stood with kaepernick. why? >> because he is putting his money where his mouth is and he actually -- i don't understand how you can fault a guy taking a piece of protest and then on the back end, the million dollar players that he had putting his money where his mouth was and going to communities and making an impact. making a difference. i think, for me to be able to bring some of that money back to the bay area meant a lot. i think in san francisco with the united players initiative that we supported. >> i love my boy rudy. >> that was a no brainer for me. to see a guy who has dedicated his life to making a difference. whether it's accepted or not. i want that. >> you know, i got to ask some basketball questions otherwise my son is going to kill me. so, everything is great in california, everything is great. what if lebron james came to l.a.? >> i would be sleeping fine. obviously, i feel like our team is the team to beat. we have some work to do, but i'm pretty confident in ourselves. he has, i guess the worl

leading many to wonder of kaepernick is being blackballed by nfl owners...he league today commissoner roger goodell was asked if the nfl may step in on kaepernick's behalf and pressure nfl teams to sign him...(sot: goodell: "all the clubs individually need to make their own decisions about who is on the roster, who is not on the roster. colin, as you know, has filed a grievance, so i'm not going to talk specifically about that case - but i think that's something that the clubs have to make that decision. we as the league do not get involved in that in any way." rob gronkowski still hasn't ben cleared to play in the super bowl... he still going through the nfl's concussion protocol... but he was able to get in some football via the game controller... he played eagles runing back legarrette blount in "madden '18" football on the x-box... maybe gronk hasn't fully recovered... as he was blasted 33-13 by blount... each player was playing using his own team... so it was an eagles win over the patriots... on a screen when asked about his health... gr

not even giving colin kaepernick a job in the lead to help stem the dispersal of the movement at thisnt, anymore than giving rosa parks her seat back would have helped in the montgogomery bus boycott movement. so we're in a very interesting place at this time, and i think the trying to frame and to find leadership and specific goals will become difficult. in terms of the response of the national football league to the protests, it has become increasingly desperate in its attempts to prevent motorists from becoming public. do you agree that the nfl is creating some sort of social justice fund to convince athletes, as their response to the issues raised in the take a knee movement? thate of the things happened during the course of this whole movement was that roger goodell, he and i have had ongoing convnversations going bk toto his first weeks on the job about how you move this process and protest to progress. this is not some the governor originated in football. it came over the wall of the stadium into football, but now football has to deal with it. this the verybout first week he to

you think of what happened, for instance, when the nfl, colin kaepernick refused to stand for the anthemat happened was he spurred other players to do the same. then the nfl lost tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue during the regular season as viewership took a sizable hit and attendance was down. if too heavily infected by politics, the sport, stage and screen, they kind of just become like everything else in washington. nasty and polarizing. call me crazy, but i think we need more, not fewer places where we can gather, cheer, and even boo without worrying about politics. everyone has the right to speak their mind, but stars on screen and those on the field should know that when they practice hate hateful political vitriol they are likely to get some pushback just like the rest of us in politics or political analysis. now it's your turn, clooney and jennifer lawrence. why don't you explain beyond just epithets or bromides, cliches, sometimes maybe insults, your own ideas on how to grow the economy, how to increase the standard of living for the poor and middle-class ameri

in the united states, and i think there's no question that his criticism of athletes like colin kaepernicka black lives matter protesters here in the united states have no transfer to other countries we are seeing that oppression of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of peaceful protest being crushed in many, many countries around the world,, including more than 20 in africa, several in the americas, also in asia. that's an alarming situation for those of us who believe activism as part of the solution for human rights. >> question is also for you, if you don't mind. he was taken strong on the atrocities committed against the rohingya in myanmar. is unsung suki also responsible for those atrocities? what are you calling used to do on the situation now? >> so she has a role to play in this but she doesn't command they myanmar military. the person who is in the command and control, that are military personnel. a person who is the head of the myanmar military is a man called -- [inaudible] and we would expect his name to be in every newspaper and in every television report where

yes, colin kaepernick would still be in the news from time to time, yes, you'd hear stories about the philanthropic efforts he's put forward, but in general, it feels like the movement kind of slowed down and became a lot quieter. >> yeah, sophia, let me turn to you to respond to that. i wonder if we're not talking enough on why those protests are happening. i guess if you look at the other side here, you hear president trump and others' criticism of folks kneeling. isn't a lot of conversation about why they feel so adamantly about that. >> right. i think there was an article in "the washington post" about a woman, a teacher, who assaulted a student who refused to stand for the pledge of allegiance and closer to home in northern virginia a friend of mine and their son in fairfax county high school, didn't put his hand on him, but threw him out of the classroom for refusing to stand. i agree at some point it kind of died down and i think that's because this president keeps us busy 24/7 with some type of controversy going on and i think there's so many issues before us, whether it be f

you saw colin kaepernick start the nfl protest that everybody's, you know, been talking about for the boldin and about three other players took our second trip to capitol hill to speak to legislators about criminal justice reform and how we could really lend our platform of voices to push for the legislative changes that we wanted to see. once that we saw that we were able to get three days of meetings, meet with republicans, democrats and have all of this influence, we said, "it would be something if we could get together as athletes all across this league and really amplify our voices." and we started what we called, "the players' coalition." and we were able to engage -- [ cheers and applause ] thank you. able to engage guys on almost every nfl team. and we've able -- been able to pass that baton and engage with the nfl to see or to work with them on how to amplify our words, our thoughts to really move past this protest stuff and the divisiveness of the conversation and really get to some solutions on how we can educate our fan base. >> seth: you mentioned divisiveness and i -- [

states and to salil's point i think there's no question that his criticism of athletes like colin kaepernick or black lives matter protesters here in the united states have now transferred to other countries, and we're seeing that oppression of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of peaceful protest being questioned in many, many countries around the world including more than 20 in africa, several in the americas and also in asia, and that's an alarming situation for those of us who believe activism is part of the solution for human rights. thanks. >> thank you. please. be. >> thank you. elissa rose with nhk. this question is also for miss hassan, if you don't mind. you were speaking earlier very strongly on the atrocities committed against the rohingya in mining mar. is aung san suu kyi also responsible for those acrossies, and what are you calling for the u.s. to do on the situation now? >> so aung san suu kyi has a role to play in this, but she doesn't command the myanmar military. as salil alluded to in his comments, the person who is in the command and control, they are m
