Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback who started a national conversation by kneeling during the national anthem to highlight racial injustices in America, was widely criticized after he revealed he didn’t vote on Election Day.

Mr. Kaepernick, who turned 18 in 2005, never registered to vote in his home state of California or Nevada, where he attended the University of Nevada, Reno, from 2006 to 2010, according to voting records reviewed by The Sacramento Bee.

He didn’t vote because he knows he won’t be able to figure out how to use the voting machines and as a celebrity if he asked for help it would get a lot of attention. Plus, he probably can’t read so he wouldn’t know who he was voting for.

"and Bohemian[dubious – discuss] descent"

Why dubious? The name is Bohemian. Bohemia was part of Czech. They were known as a people who were very opposed to morality. Many of their descendants are to this day.

"Russo placed Colin for adoption with Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, a white couple who had two children"

I didn't catch that part before replying. That's pretty funny. They adopted one of their own.

Kaepernick isn’t unsigned because of kneeling. Other kneeling players have jobs. He’s unsigned because he is a devout Christian.

1. How do you know he is a “devout Christian?” What does that mean? Joel Osteen followers think he is devout too.

Devout or not, IMHO he is deluded.
