This week’s edition of Time Magazine named former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to its list of the 100 Most Influential People.

The list breaks down the chosen 100 into five categories: Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, Titans, and Icons. Kaepernick appears in the Icons group.

In the Time Magazine profile, former SF 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh praised the controversial quarterback’s protest last year of the Star Spangled Banner, “when he boldly and courageously confronted perceived inequalities in our social-justice system by refusing to stand for the national anthem.”

Harbaugh made no mention of Kaepernick’s penchant for wearing socks denigrating law enforcement officers with pictures of pigs dressed in police uniforms.

>>when he boldly and courageously confronted perceived inequalities in our social-justice system by refusing to stand for the national anthem<<

I think it was more a case of boldly and courageously confronted perceived inequalities in opposing teams and correcting those inequities by handing the ball to the other team whenever possible.

I seem to recall something about Time.

What was it?

Someone help me out here. Was that a television show? A newspaper?

What?...

[[Has Kaepernick found another job yet?]]

He’s applying for a position as a professional whiner

An obscure quarterly published in the late 20th century. You could find old copies in doctors’ and dentists’ offices.

Being so influential he should have problem getting the job of his choice and a huge pay increase....

Which won’t happen...

So does Harbaugh hate America, too, or is he just a jerk and a PC coward?

He influenced me to stop watching NFL football. Except for the last 20 minutes of the most recent Superbowl. That was pretty ok.
