Colin Kaepernick won’t be playing in Super Bowl LV, but the quarterback-turned-activist found another way to draw attention ahead of the big game.
Ben & Jerry’s unveiled last week a billboard and a mural featuring the NFL free agent in Old West Tampa, Florida, not far from Raymond James Stadium, where Super Bowl LV will be played Sunday evening.
The signage represents a not-so-subtle jab at the NFL from Kaepernick, who has not played since he opted out of the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2017 following a season in which he gained fame for kneeling during the national anthem.

I can’t remember the last time I bought it. lol
I do remember when they first started in Burlington Vermont in an old gas station. It was fun and non-political. The ice cream was delicious and convenient to downtown. Then, they were “discovered” and, well, you know the rest!
There is something going on with ice cream and commies:

Nor will he ever. He won’t even be sitting on an NFL bench.
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals [1963]:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
“It was fun and non-political.”
That is the worst part about this era. There is no refuge. I think we will eventually come back to that, but there will be a completely new set of players. I won’t miss any of the old ones.
Closer to 30 here.
It's clear that Colin is history
I don’t support Ben&Jerry’s or the Brillo Boy.
“Ben & Jerry’s...”
Don’t they have an ice cream flavor named Schwetty Balls?
Well, let’s see. They have had to backpedal on number 31, at least the Russian part. And most of the former Soviet satellites are on the right side of things, many of them more so than we are. On number 35 they didn’t abolish it, they just took it over as well as the CIA, NSA, and probably a few other TLAs. That was actually a very smart move. But yes, by and large it’s mission accomplished.
I used to think that having a zillion overlapping law enforcement agencies like we do was wasteful and bureaucratic. But now I am very thankful that all of them do not answer to the same guy in DC.
It seems like 20 years that this attention who’re has been whining.
Whore
A guy with ice cream - real intimidating.
In his last season, Kaepernick had a defense-adjusted yards above replacement — Football Outsiders’ ultimate value quotient — of minus-182, 35th in the NFL. By all metrics, he was one of the worst quarterbacks in the league.

Plus...he is a beneficiary of White Privilege. Never even met his Black father.
