I have a lot of love/hate relationships in my life. For example I love America's Got Talent but hate the best talent show in the world because, and here's the dirty secret, true democracy is terrible. In past seasons dogs have beaten out a comedian and this season an above-average singer won over the 14-year-old opera singer who can belt it out like a 20-year opera veteran. True democracy is for the birds. Another love/hate, Netflix's House of Cards, I love the cast, Robin Wright and the rest...

My god has Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the anthem carried on for much longer than I thought. The story has some legs and I don't see it tiring anytime soon, well maybe for a stretch in November. Kaepernick's protest has everyone exercising their God-given right to express their opinions. While everyone has the liberty to express their thoughts it doesn't mean everything said is brilliant. With that being said it's time to pay tribute the dumbest comments made in response to...
