Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is on the short list to receive Times Person of the Year award, the magazine confirmed Monday.
Times shortlist consists of ten people editors will choose from to designate as 2017s Person of the Year. Kaepernick is famous for his kneeling in protest to police brutality during the National Anthem, is a potential candidate for activism.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was unable to find an NFL suitor this year after launching a national protest against racism and police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem. Yet the protest grew this year, as hundreds of NFL players kneeled during the anthem in the wake of criticism from President Trump, the magazine noted.

An irrelevant man as person of the year for an irrelevant publication. I can see the symmetry in that.
I really hope he does!!!
A sign of winning!
NFL’S very own typhoid Mary Kapernik.
Maybe they can have a cover with Goodell and the Quisling kissing.
Gotta get the gay thing in there!
I think they’ll do it, just to poke POTUS in the eye.

If Time is that foolish (and they often have been) it will be the final nail in the coffin of the NFL.

It’s fun watching your enemies run around as fast as they can screaming and yelling....”I’m melting...I’m melting...”
If the police are brutal because of some accidents, a few bad apples, and a few incidents where the left is outraged that criminals died in the commission of a crime then blacks are violent because of bad apples who just happen to be black and, it should be noted, usually prey upon black persons. Likewise all leftist are violent because of AntiFa and the tall grass AntiFa hides in.
What’s good for the goose is good for the cultural Marxist influenced gander.
Time will not survive the avalanche of Trump ridicule if they pick CK.
Confirms my cancellation 10 years ago.

Just like the Tigers that turned into butter circling the tree!
(I miss Sambo’s pancake houses!)
I can’t think of anyone who’s done more to damage any business in the last few years. If you love communism, you love what’s come from his actions and wish it could spread to every other successful business (except yours).
To be fair, he only performed a few simple actions (kneeling), and made a couple clueless statements over a few weeks, and more than a year ago. This award is about a movement to disrupt the US, not an individual’s actions over a year ago.
Unlike other “leaders” in history who continued to speak and encourage and had some goals (even if misguided), he was just a spark of ignorance that set off an explosion of stupidity toward no explainable end then disappeared.
Like Obama getting a peace prize before he “did nothing”, Kaepernick is up for an award 15 months after he “did nothing”. They both are a symbol for what the award-givers want the world to be. It says nothing about the recipients, but a lot about the givers.
Off topic but Time magazine has really downsized. It’s a thin publication, and inside there are lots of photos and graphs, and relatively little of the written word in there.
I know the internet has changed publishing, but wonder, how many still buy the printed Time magazine?
Football is a uniquely American game that is, if Rush is to be believed, despised by the left.
They want it gone and who has done more to hurt the NFL, the pinnacle of American Football, more than Colon Kancernick?
As far as the left is concerned, no one has, ever.
If making him their POTY, instead of POSOTY, is the final nail for the NFL, then so much the better.
This is truly fascinating to watch and way more fun than a Sunday full of NFL games!
Things in our world have been getting out of hand for a while now, and I see this, along with what is happening in Hollywood and politics since Trump was elected, as a natural course correction, if not a supernatural one.

The NFL hasn’t been worth crying over for 20 years.

Colin Kaepernick Might Get Time
There, I like that headline better!
Yep, same for the NBA, too.
Give it to the new hero of the left...Kate Steinle's killer.
Only place I ever see Time magazine is in doctors’ offices. I guess a bored captive audience is the only one they have now. It used to be a respectable publication. Now it’s just a libtard forum spewing lies and anti-American drivel. They should send all the copies to some hellhole like Afghanistan, where they can use it to wipe themselves instead of their hand. That’s about all it’s worth now. Or their so-called awards.
