Colin Kaepernick’s parents justifiably annoyed by hack article about their son’s tattoos
sports.yahoo.com ^ | 11/30/12 | Doug Farrar

Before we get into this, we'd like to apologize in advance, because we're about to give you a link to perhaps the worst article in the history of sports.

...and Whitley's article, which went up on Thursday, is as asbestos-y as anything you'll ever read. A brief example:

"San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick is going to be a big-time NFL quarterback. That must make the guys in San Quentin happy.

"Approximately 98.7 percent of the inmates at California's state prison have tattoos. I don't know that as fact, but I've watched enough "Lockup" to know it's close to accurate.

"I'm also pretty sure less than 1.3 percent of NFL quarterbacks have tattoos. There's a reason for that.

"NFL quarterback is the ultimate position of influence and responsibility. He is the CEO of a high-profile organization, and you don't want your CEO to look like he just got paroled.

I'm not sure what Kaepernick's tattoos have to do with his present or future as a starting NFL quarterback, though everybody knows that Kaepernick has been very successful with a small sample size of two NFL starts with the San Francisco 49ers. So, perhaps Whitley was looking for a different angle, and he didn't have time for stuff like interviewing, homework, or film study.

I have 4 tattoos, and I’m far from dumb. I’m thinking of getting a few more.

Why?

This is really simple. You can take the kid out of Stanislaus County, but you can’t take Stanislaus County out of the kid.

LOL, I am a BIKER, A Rock Musician, AND a Bass Player. And I have NO INK.

I'm a scooter tramp from waay back. No tats. Never saw any art I wanted to wear that long....

Once was accused of 'not being a biker because I didn't have any tattoos'. I just looked at the chick and laughed, told her you can't ride a tattoo down the road at 100+...

LOL!

I was in a Harley Store trying to buy a leather belt. The size 4 chick sneered at me and said “We don’t carry YOUR size.”

I looked her square in the eye and said,
“It takes a REAL Woman to handle an FXR.”

You know what I always think when I see people with a lot of visible tattoos? That they’re quite dumb and I don’t want to know them.

Thank you for sharing.

I like Ellis as a player and a person, but the Warriors are a much better team this year.

That's just personal disfigurement, in my opinion.
