Thousands of 49ers fanatics incinerated Kaepernick on Twitter with some even lighting up his number 7 jersey following his decision to sit down during the national anthem at Friday night’s preseason game.

The backlash begins ... and I hope it grows exponentially.

YES!!!!!!!!

I skipped The Jets last night and it hurt!!

Been a fan since 6. Love the sport.

twittered and facebooked and emailed colin, jets, players org, nfl, san fransisco

[dp0622]

colin’s also a big BLM fan and when i attacked him on that, the BLM folk’s responses did not disappoint. They are a terrorist org.

Bunch of haters.

They have no idea what it's like to a black man in the oppressive United States who is forced to get by on a measly 10 million dollars a year.

Plus incentives.

Great news it’s getting out now...they need quarterbacks in Syria.

[IronJack]

Expect a lukewarm non-apology in the next couple of weeks. "I'm sorry this country is so bigoted and racist that I was forced to make a public display of my virtuous disapproval."

The fans need to tune out in waves so team profits suffer. Then the bean-counters can step in and impose limits on how offensive the players can be before they get fired.

Shades of 1966 Beatles!

I skipped The Jets last night and it hurt!!
I watched the Giants last night and it hurt!!
Two teams going nowhere in a hurry.

The enemy . . at a jillion $/yr.

WTF are we thinking ? ?

[RayChuang88]

And Kaepernick won’t get a pass because unlike LeBron James (who is very active with charities in the Akron/Cleveland area), “Kaep” has a known history of being self-absorbed, if you’ve seen his Instagram postings.

Break it to me gently. How’d the Jets look?

[Texas Eagle]

Maybe Kaepinericieakciick would prefer to live in a hut next door to Ubama’s brother.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I'm sorry, but this guy is a pure, grade-A idiot. He could have been mired in poverty and in a bunch of foster homes had the right family not come along to adopt him.

Why do biracial folks identify with their black half anyway?

[oh8eleven]

Well, John Lennon anyway.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Same here, hopes it goes nationwide.

[chopperman]

Expect his agent to sue him for lost income.

[Maceman]

Here’s to the 49ers becoming the new Target Corp.

[Doogle]

Wait till they find out he converted

[Liz]

Throw the POS bum out of the team, the league....and the US.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The backlash begins ... and I hope it grows exponentially.

Old colin is going to make one helluva tackling dummy for the rest of the league, and if the refs are smart, they might "miss" a few personal foul calls.
