HH’s one of the greats, says USA Today columnist Nancy Armour.
Kaepernick started kneeling for the national anthem in 2016, saying he couldn’t stand in support of a flag that represents a country so oppressive to black people.
Kaepernick was nominated as a Contributor by Bob Birkett of Vermont, who was upset that he couldn't get Kaepernick a starting qb spot but figured out he could nominate him to the Hall of Fame.
Birkett’s letter said that, “Mr. Kaepernick has shown exceptional courage in highlighting the damaging effects of racial injustice on black people and on our society as a whole. His respectful kneeling posture has created a powerful symbol for those who are oppressed by our society.”
Armour backed that view, writing, “It’s hard to argue that Kaepernick, who sacrificed his career because he wanted to make his country better, doesn’t at least deserve a debate.”
It's hard to argue that Kaepernick didn't make waves in the NFL. Many fans have left the sport since the social justice warriors and virtue signaling took over. But did he do anything positive for the sport?
Kaepernick’s on-field performance would not draw any consideration from Hall of Fame voters. His career touchdown passes (72) and passing yards (12,271) rank 174th and 167th, respectively, in league history. His record as a starter was a subpar 28-30.
The NFL Hall of Fame will soon be as meaningless as the nominations for a Nobel Peace Prize.
He does not want to make the country better; he wants to make it a Marxist hellhole. I nominate him for the Evil Arsehole Hall of Fame.
This is satire, right?
Make sure it is wearing those “ police socks”
Ain't it the truth? It has even spread to golf and horse racing. What's next? Tiddlywinks?
Not just No but HELL NO!
These people try to turn everything they touch to shlt.
I have little use for the current crop of whiney bitches but to besmirch the talents and memories of men so much better than the Colon just plain sucks. The Colon isn’t fit to hold their sweaty jock straps.
Is Pat Tillman in the Hall of Fame?
The first portly blemished contestant to win Miss Universe.
Who cares about him or the NFL.
Nauseating.
There should be a Hall Of Infamy for the National Felons’ League.
If they want to canonize him, do it when he is 50. Let him do some “good works.”
His career was not good.
Go ahead, induct his pathetic career. The NFL is bleeding out as we ponder.
I assume he’s a sportswriter or broadcaster on the Hall of Fame Committee. I think all the committee members are sportswriters or broadcasters.
Kraphead had one good season so these leftist doucebags thinks that is enough for the HOFame. Kraphead belongs in the “Hall of Shame”, along with Benedict Arnold, Fritz Kuhn, the Rosenbergs, Bergdahl,Kerry, and Obama.
Maybe they should institute the Kamala Harris “Drop to Your Knees” Award.
The Culinary Institute of America nominates Jeffery Dahmer to the Chef’s Hall of Fame...
You mean communist kickball?
