Colin Kaepernick Wears Fidel Castro Shirt After Anthem Protest
Outkick the Coverage ^ | August 29, 2016 | Clay Travis

Posted on 08/30/2016 7:25:39 AM PDT by C19fan

It's well established that I think Colin Kaepernick is an idiot for protesting the national anthem, but even I was shocked when I saw his wardrobe choice after the San Francisco 49er game where he chose not to stand up for the national anthem. To refresh your memories, here is what Kaepernick said after that game:

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

So instead Kaepernick decided to roll into his post game press conference after disrespecting America in a shirt endorsing Fidel Castro, a man who has committed more human rights violations in his life than any other living person in North or South America. A man responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people of all races.

Way to go Jerry!

What the 49ers are going to find out real soon is that Kaepernick is distracting the team from hat they're supposed to be doing; preparing for the NFL season.

The failure of the 49ers management and coaching staff to shut this down quick is going to hurt them on the field. And they're in one of the most competitive division in the league.

Of course, I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

I think you’re right. Seems like every aspect of entertainment is tainted now. The Fourth Wall was broken and busted a while back. The characters on the screen are speaking directly to us now and they’re all Dem CHUCKLEHEADS!

He needs to call and get friendly with other former quarterbacks Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel.

One of our relatives has a friend, who used to be an advisory member of the 49ers before their current owners.

That friend said that K. is in terrible physical/mental shape and has lost a lot of muscle. The team’s owners were trying figure what to do with him re his contract and inability to be a QB in the pros.

So this is probably a sham by K to take the limelight away from his failure as a NFL QB.

What a lefty loon. His adoptive parents must be really proud of this loser. He should be boo-ed and ridiculed at every opportunity.

Exactly. His stance is pure ignorance. Find a more tolerant society in the world. His charge of oppression is idiocy and these actions like this are getting police and people killed. I am silent no more after Dallas. This race bating crap is dangerous and destroying our society.

Kap X is repeating lies. He’s citing Baltimore where cops got their back pay after being wrongly charged by a racist DA. He repeats the lies and someone out there will be more riled up and will act. Either premeditated like Dallas or in the moment when they get into a situation with a police officer. I have had enough. Not sitting by praising agitators for spewing lies.

Apparently, in addition to disrespecting the flag, anthem, and nation, Kaepernick is intent on proving he’s an anti-American. That goes far in explaining his motives.

“Looks like Kap is preparing for life after football. He must know he’s not going to make the team. If he doesn’t earn the starting QB position he will be released - no team can afford to pay a back up that much. Seems he sees the writing on the wall.”

See my reply at the link below. You are right on target.

In America, Kaepernick has every right to be stupid.

An invitation to the white house and a big piece of change when they bench him and he sues.

This is not HIS ball game. It's the owners ball game.

You can hear it under his breath....."sue me". Arrogant piece of sh**.

Colin Kaepernick should have a lottery...

Colin Kaepernick can move to Cuba and ANY Cuban citizen who wins 'the lottery' - - the "KAEPERNICK LOTTERY' - - can become a United States citizen.

At ONE dollar a lottery ticket the Cuban Government could make hundreds of millions of dollars...

AND the United States would be one quisling less....

Go for it Colin... move to you Cuban paradise. Give your place to someone more deserving.
