Kaepernick started his “protests” during Obama’s Presidency, Trump didn’t really figure into it. But Trump knew it for what it was and exposed the politics behind it brilliantly. Trump is the left’s vicar for everything that grieves them.

If I was Mr. Kaepernick, the guy who raised him, I would sue the punk. The couple that raised him and supported him throughout his rise to the NFL. And now, an innocent couples surname is associated with this kind of trash?

I think you could be wrong there.While it's true that no Wendy's manager would ever hire him I'll bet that he could have a great career at MSLSD!

Eminem did a “song” about raping his mother, arranging the gang rape of his sister, murdering his wife.

Truly a very sick twisted little man. The entertainment world supports him.
