USA Today Backs Batty Kaepernick Hall Of Fame Suggestion

USA Today ^ | 9/2/2020 | Jay Maxson

The nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2022, include ... Colin Kaepernick and -- stop right there. This isn't someone's idea of a bad joke.

[SaxxonWoods]

I love this idea. Put him in, it's perfect. It would mean EVERY player of color would have to go in. Most any of them would be better players with better records than K.

Do it now, NFL.

[Secret Agent Man]

i hope the entire sports industry tanks

[tbw2]

Has he ever actually played?

[Mopp4]

Start a Hall of Shame. Inaugural inductee........

[Leaning Right]

I like the idea too. It’s somehow fitting, given how crazy this country has become. And I hope other sports honor Kaepernick as well. I looked it up. Kaepernick drives a car. It’s a regular car, not a race car. But who cares about details? So I demand that Kaepernick be induced into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

[dainbramaged]

Colon has zero chance for the Hall of Fame. Nada. Bupkus. Goose egg.

[poconopundit]

Perfect. Let’s have an Affirmative Action Hall of Fame.

Every NFL player deserves a Hall of Fame participation trophy.

Think of it as a form or reparation.

USA Today is part of the Gannett Press, and the Gannett Press has been nothing but a bunch of commies for decades.

[OrangeHoof]

Kaepernick has been in as many Super Bowls as Dan Marino. More Super Bowls than Warren Moon. Jes sayin’.

[SaxxonWoods]

Yes, I think he had one very good season and then faded. Then he decided to kneel and really got rich with Nike.

He hasn’t played for 4 years, I think it is.

[SaxxonWoods]

“So I demand that Kaepernick be induced into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.”

I like this entire line of thinking and the possibilities are endless!

[combat_boots]

Sort of Plan 9 from Kaepernick

[circlecity]

Kap spent much of his last season sitting on the bench for the worst team in the league. What’s that tell you.

[jjotto]

Yep, 4 yrs since he played.

He had a 6 year career in a league with average career of less than 4 years.

[packrat35]

I live in a hotel right now and the paper is free and they still can’t give them away.

I pick one up and take to work, and it is a non-stop anti-Trump screed. Every story some how works in a dig at Trump.

[ßuddaßudd]

and what, more burning, looting and murdering if he isnt ?¿

[reg45]

Just like 0bama’s Nobel Peace Prize.

[StAntKnee]

I agree. Do to the HOF what Yassar Arafat and Barack Obama did to the Nobel Peace Prize.

I used to try to pick up The New York Post before I went in to work at 3 p.m. I live about 45 minutes east of Syracuse. By 3 p.m. you were lucky if any copies were left. After I retired, I used to follow it online, but at some point they stopped allowing comments on their stories, and I gave it up. The Post was far better than any local paper in this area, and they’ve had some decent journalists who have provided great opinion pieces...like Michael Goodwin.

[GaltMeister]

The dem MOB will demand it.

“nice hall of fame you have here, what a shame it would be if it burnt down!”
