“Saying that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick “sacrificed his career because he wanted to make his country better,” a USA Today sports columnist has . . .”

This reminds me of the sacrifice I made coming out of high school.

At a weight of 150 pounds I forfeited four years of major college football eligibility - and certain All-American fame - to ensure opposing players would not be injured attempting to tackle me.

If I saved the lives of just a few defensive linemen, it was worth the cost. Look at me.

Pro sports now are nothing more than political party offshoots of the dim party.

In other news, Garo Yepremian was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a quarterback, narrowly beating out T.J. Rubley.

lol

NFL is done. We get their entire sport is black men, but the viewers are not.

Also, do they think a black kid from poverty is going to turn down an NFL draft because they’re not WOKE enough?

So essentially they are running a very bad business model where they are pissing on consumers who have a choice to appease some athletes who really don’t have one.

Yet another reason I’m writing off the NFL.

I’ve had PSL’s and season tickets since the Texans began - but the level of patronizing bull$hit they’ve become, I cannot support them anymore.

Colon deserves to be in Gitmo as a seditious traitor, not enshrined anywhere.

Well, he is one of the players who has had the biggest impact on the game. No one else has ever been able to practically kill football the way he did!

framed putting Kaepernick next to legends like


What about putting him next to people like Walter Payton or Reggie White? That’d be a travesty.
