Bottom line: Kaepernick and Nike's campaign are utterly disrespectful to our military and law enforcement officers.
Author drives in their point.
-
lost limbs when they stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan or Iraq – sacrificed everything
Using a powerful visual of americans being maimed to evoke emotions (pathos.)
-
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in something and made many sacrifices over the course of his life – including giving up his life when he was assassinated – in the fight against racism and for equal rights for all Americans.
Ethos- where the editor links civil rights back to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Perhaps hinting that Kaepernick's actions aren't in line with what the reverend believed in.
-
Even if Kaepernick wins a nearly insurmountable battle, pass the tissues to someone else. Kaepernick’s fame and income, like the $1 million book deal he inked, has only grown from this second act of martyrdom.
Appeal to logos, where there are underlying motives for Kaepernick's protest.. which is the money.
-
Kaepernick saying he “sacrificed everything” – simply because he is currently unable to play a game and receive millions of dollars to do so – illustrates the so-called privilege that ardent national anthem protest supporters accuse others of having.
Using irony to further justify the logical aspect of this argument.
-
As any military family can attest to, that is the epitome of sacrifice.
Appealing to emotions of anyone who has served in the armed forces or knows anyone that has served in the armed forces.
-
In what alternate universe does a privileged athlete who amassed $39 million in a single contract qualify as having sacrificed “everything?”
The fox news editor sets up a straw man argument by presenting Kaepernick as "privileged." This works in the effect that many people equate money to success and happiness. Does not take into account the background or struggles it takes to achieve such status in society.

This year, six American military service members have been killed in Afghanistan – one as recently as this past weekend. Since 2001, more than 2,400 American military members have been killed in Afghanistan and more than 4,500 have been killed in Iraq. These American heroes aren’t famous, and we’ll never see their faces on some glossy sports apparel poster.
Immediately, editor contrasts Kaepernick's "sacrifice" with those of service members in the armed services. This is an effect of all pathos, ethos, and logos, where death evokes sympathy, numbers give a perception of the cost of war, and ethos is frame by the title of America's military service.
-
Nike chose to use the unemployed former San Francisco 49ers quarterback to make a statement.
Already, Fox news uses the term "unemployed" to appeal to conservative's "logical" views about America and the economy, that people who do not work are only take from the nation instead of adding to it.
