TEMPE, Ariz. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says it didn't matter to him who won Tuesday's presidential election.

Kaepernick said he didn't believe any of the candidates, including President-elect Donald Trump, who in the past criticized the quarterback's decision to kneel during the national anthem, would change a system that he said "oppresses people of color."

His team is 1-7 or something like that. Sad.

I enjoyed Stephen A. Smith’s rant the other day, which culminated in a massive rebuke of Krapperneck for his failure to go vote. It was glorious.

“Kaepernick said he didn’t believe any of the candidates, including President-elect Donald Trump, who in the past criticized the quarterback’s decision to kneel during the national anthem, would change a system that he said “oppresses people of color.”

Said the man of color who’s used the system to make millions and live a privileged lifestyle.

I saw it as well. It was lovely. Kaepernick is losing followers in the black community. He has no voice because he did not vote.

He also said that he wants to be a veterinarian because he likes working with children and that his favorite pizza flavor is Pittsburgh. :o)

ESPN is an anchor, dragging Disney down. They desperately try to stir up conflict in order to get attention, because they are in deep doo-doo.

First, this Kapernick kept saying that “he was oppressed”.

I, in my 64 times around the Sun, have never seen an oppressed millionaire, of any color.

Second, when asked if he was going to just vote, he said for the record, ‘no’. That, to my eyes, displays that he cares not about doing anything to change what he decries as ‘oppression’.

Third, now, he says that it didn’t matter who got elected.

The man/boy is a hypocrite to himself, to any race of humans, and to the world.

I guses he figured that if a person of color couldn’t stop the oppression after 8 years in the most powerful office in the country, what were the chances a couple of honkeys could do it?

I haven’t watched a single NFL game this year and I really am not missing it at all. College ball this year has been great.

He might win a game this year but I wouldn’t count on it.
