"Cool. What brings this up?"
Ominous parallels. Google; "Kaepernick jehovah's witnesses"
Several journalists have included Kaepernick and Jehovah's Witnesses in the same article.

"Ryan, why do you want to antagonize everybody? I wouldn't have invited you to dinner either!"
I didn’t bring politics to the dinner table at Thanksgiving, the family just enjoyed food, alcohol and watched football.
Let’s say hypothetically, the game begins and some idiot with an attitude and an afro decides to sit during the national anthem and exploits the game for a political protest.
Now that’s antagonistic. From what you know about Jehovah’s Witnesses, anyone has the constitutional right to not stand for the national anthem or salute the flag, but it’s this guy’s motives that are the problem. This dude’s racist.
His girlfriend, #Nessa of MTV's Girl Code is likely the spark that initiated this guy’s behavior. She converted to a Muslim to follow in the footsteps of black nationalists like Malcolm X. This duo are far-left radicals that praise Fidel Castro.

Things grew testy between Kaepernick and a particular media member of Cuban descent, in regards to Kaepernick’s past wearing of a Fidel Castro t-shirt. According to the Palm Beach Post, “When pressed about the shirt, Kaepernick first pointed out that Malcolm X also was pictured. Kaepernick said he supports Malcolm X and his willingness to be “open-minded” before forming his own views of the world. Part of that open-mindedness, he said, was meeting with the Cuban leader.”

Just so you know, I'm not an apostate Jehovah's Witness.
I don't agree with the viewpoints of apostate Jehovah's Witness. To me, they're antagonistic.
In all honesty, I found politics 2016 even more antagonistic.
From the terror and riots of Black Lives Matter to the Obama administration's policy on intimate facilities in public schools, when Trump got elected, the next morning, I was walking on sunshine.
I'm just taking a second to say, you people don't bother me anymore.

"Huh? Duh, are you lost? What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?"
Well, this is the first time I've heard of politics dividing families in the United States. Ideological divisions aren't strictly static to religion, even in a democracy.

Sarah-Jane Cunningham knew that her Facebook posts about the election were rubbing her family the wrong way, but she didn’t realize the posts would get her uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner.
The 19-year-old said her mother called a week before Thanksgiving and confronted her about the Facebook posts regarding President-elect Donald Trump.
“She asked me if I was going to be disrespectful to my family, and I told her that it could work either way, Cunningham said. "If the things I am saying are disrespectful to Trump supporters, the things they are saying are also disrespectful to me.”
Cunningham's response got her uninvited to her family’s Thanksgiving dinner in Maine. She said that while her mom later called and tried to make things right, it was too late and she plans to hang out with her two cats in Boston on Thanksgiving.
And she won’t be the only one whose political views earned them the a spot on the uninvited list at family Thanksgiving.
On Twitter, Trump and Clinton supporters-alike shared their stories about getting uninvited from Thanksgiving.
