Former Marine Mocks Colin Kaepernick’s ‘Bravery’ – He Deserves The ‘Medal Of Honor’ (Jesse Kelly)
The Daily Caller ^ | September 7, 2018 | Mike Brest

Posted on 09/12/2018 4:12:33 PM PDT by EveningStar

[Former U.S. Marine Jesse Kelly on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Friday night]

"... Colin Kaepernick is just a guy. He’s an employee who violated the one rule of every employee in the country and that’s make sure your talent outweighs your baggage and he didn’t. He declared America to be racist. When you add in the fact that he read defenses like Helen Keller, he is out of the NFL” ...

“I will tell you all the brothers in arms that I serve with, none of them had the bravery to make $39 million in the NFL and then move on to get paid by one of the biggest shoe brands in the world. I have to tell you, I think he should get some sort of medal of honor, whatever civilians can make.” ...

Libtard celebrities are paid millions to hate America - why not kneeler Karpernick?

Money had nothing to do with someone’s standing, let alone their true worth.

For Nike, it’s just business. The rest of us can draw our own conclusions accordingly.

The bad news is the NFL still has kneelers.

The evil men do lives after them.

I don't know about that. Helen Keller could make a defense pay if they tried an all-out blitz.

Don’t watch anymore after years of letting my mind and body vegetate with their crap. I’m freed from it.

What gets me the most about Colon K is the only reason he started kneeling was he thought- incorrectly- he wouldn’t get cut because of the racial implications. Ya’ll know as well as I do if he had been a half-way decent quarterback he would have been picked up by another team by now.

I would not sign him to a contract for any amount of money.

IF I owned an NFL team, I wouldn’t have him anywhere near the locker room. At this point, he has made himself TOXIC.

I’d hire him...

After all someone has to go around changing out the urinal cakes.

Except he didn't even get cut. He opted out of his final year of the contract, and no one picked him up!

I’m impressed with you guys; it took a whole ten posts before the virtue signaling started...

It’s virtue signalling if you’re a socialist and a relativist. If you believe in absolutes then it’s just telling the truth. What are you? A commie? A relativist? You sure you should be on FR?
