We shouldn’t be surprised that the same influences denigrating our real heroes are those elevating the voice and visage of Colin Kaepernick.
“Believe in something,” Nike told consumers in 2018, “even it means sacrificing everything.” The advertisement features former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick giving a stoic stare to those social justice warriors being spurred to buy the company’s product.
In what may be the swiftest example of the Mandela Effect taking hold on the American cultural psyche, many Americans believe that Colin Kaepernick was headlong into a promising NFL future when he boldly decided to take a knee during the National Anthem in order to protest police brutality, and for this crime against the political and social status quo, he was ostracized by the racist NFL and its fans.
The broad belief in this myth is much more pernicious and destructive, however, than our innocently misremembering that the Monopoly man wears a monocle.
And it is most certainly a myth. The reality is that on August 26, 2016, Kaepernick decided to sit on the bench during the Anthem, not kneel. Nothing ostentatious, and there was something almost childish about it, in fact. Perhaps he didn’t like being benched for Blaine Gabbert, who was, according to Mike Foss at USA Today, possibly “the worst quarterback employed by the NFL” at the time, before he goes on to explain that he might have actually been the second-worst quarterback -- behind only the horrendously bad Kaepernick in 2015.
