I am wondering...which barrier did Kapernick break down?

And I recall, Jackie Robinson was really, really good.

Colin? Not so much.

I thought they were going to equate him to Rosa Parks. Guess I got that one wrong.

Jackie Robinson was good at sports. Colin Kaepernick isn’t.

Oh and it is a pleasure to watch the NFL sink into oblivion.

A pure pleasure to watch these owners and over paid thugs go away and take ESPN with them. It is time we came up with some real heroes once again for our children

Don’t remember Jackie wearing Che Guevara and Fidel Castro t-shirts or socks with police portrayed as pig’s.

Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier only because white men ALLOWED him to do it. Likewise, blacks played a very small role in abolishing slavery. White men abolished slavery.

ABC/ESPN all owned by Disney. They cannot let this go now because they are trying to pick up a turd by the clean end. They have huge investments in football and being anti Trump.

I expect the abombhole to figure he is being out run on this issue and begin making public statements 24/7 soon. He cannot let that fool Kapernick become more popular than he is (in his mind).

Yes, must be the same Jackie Robinson who, as a Republican, had to put up with Democrat racists in the military and later on in baseball.

Kapernick is the new Jim Jones and the NFL is sitting around drinking the Kool_Aid.

Guess what happens next?

“Don’t remember Jackie wearing Che Guevara and Fidel Castro t-shirts or socks with police portrayed as pig’s.”

Kaepernick is more closely aligned with Joanne Chessamard than with Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson was a true pioneer & a great baseball player. This idiot is a jerk off.
