The story has not really been about Colin Kaepernick at all. The story has been (and is) about how the establishment media creates news out of nothing, and keeps the narrative on life support long after the patient has died. Since 2016, while nothing was happening, we have been bombarded with “news” stories anticipating yet another milestone in Kaepernick’s career.

People should have turned him off years ago as not worth paying any attention to.
“NFL world reacts as Colin Kaepernick makes major move.” But, if one reads the actual story, one would see that there was no “major” anything behind the headline.
His letter to the NY Jets asking for a practice squad role. Shouda been told 7-11 is hiring.
Done. Years ago.
In 2017, a media reference to the Ravens’s “pursuit” of Kaepernick was intended to prove that Kaepernick could still play and was being blackballed for his protests. Yet the Ravens did not sign him. “Nothing” was once again the order of the day. But a casual observer would conclude from the headline that Kaepernick was in demand and that a signing was imminent. By the time it became clear that no signing would occur, the headline would be forgotten and the media’s credibility would remain intact (so they believed).
The media person should have been told “we don’t tell you how to fill the slurpee cup at 7-11 so we’ll do it our way”. The headline would NOThane been forgotten.
*In 2022, USA Today went so far as to list seven teams that should invite Kaepernick to training camp. By that point, they were no longer trying to create a fait accompli with a hyped headline. They were simply finger-pointing at specific teams and imploring them to comply. Once again, nothing happened.*
See ‘slurpee cup’.
When I was a lad, power backhoes and such weren't that common.
Most ditches were dug using "organic backhoes" i.e. "black hoes".
That is a job for which Colin is eminently suited.
*We cannot chase each Kaepernick story down the rabbit hole to its irrelevant and empty conclusion. We simply must recognize the likelihood that each headline is either false or so skewed as to be irrelevant. We must learn not only to ignore the headlines, but to reject them on sight.*
*The only alternative is to read and deconstruct every story.*
Anyone remember Ronald Reagan saying Viet Nam was a noble cause? The subject wasn’t even an issue at the time he brought it up. It made the left react-exactly what they do to us.
We need to think outside the box. Sadly we don’t.
The story is that this stupid idiot forgot whose stage it was. He thought it was his - it wasn’t. But the good news is that he has his own stage and can do whatever he wants with it. It just isn’t as big as the one he left.
He’s been outta the league for 7 years. He is done.
Sorry. Yo thimz is up. 🕺🏻
Who now..?
And you've been asleep ... how long?
