Colin Kaepernick, Hypocrite
American Thinker ^ | August 31, 2016 | Elise Cooper

Posted on 08/31/2016 10:15:23 AM PDT by Kaslin

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick refuses to stand for the national anthem. He claims to be doing this as a means of protesting racial oppression in America. But once again this points out the hypocrisy of celebrities, athletes, and politicians. While he is making a reported salary of about $18 million dollars, he does a lot of talking and no action. Has he gone into the underprivileged areas, spoken to low-income youth, attempted to make these areas safer?

Kaepernick explained why he is making this stand, refusing to rise for the “Star Spangled Banner”: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder. This is not something that I am going to run by anybody. I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right.”

"I have to stand up for people that are oppressed... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right.”

I hadn't seen this line before. It appears that Kap knew he would be getting cut and he pulled this stunt so he could claim that his protest is the reason they took "football away" rather than the fact that he just can't cut it anymore. I wonder why he suddenly lost so much muscle mass. As a gym rat I know one reason some people suddenly lose a lot of muscle mass.

Colin is trying to impress his hot muzzie fiance. I have read that he may have converted to the dark side - islam. i don't believe he's overly intellectual. He's pulling this stunt to try to get her to believe he's some sort of deep thinker but the truth is that he's very dense.

One thing I don't get is why not just make him stay in the locker room until kickoff. He's not a starting player anyway unless they're going to put him on the special teams squad- which they should do anyway since he runs around like a tiny little squirrel in the pocket. He's really got a single dimension game - RUN IT!!!

His black half should murder his white half, and the white half should forgive him and attribute it to white privilege.

AIDS? Needle drugs? Do tell.

As a gym rat you know what "Creatine Spray" is. I'll just come out and say it: Explosive diarrhea.

This over-privileged punk has gotten way too much attention for his bad behavior. Fire him and be done with it.

If she’s a Muzzie she must be on the Jihadist hit list, as she is so obviously apostate, uncovered for all the world to see.

Um, do you mean a sudden cessation of the juice? Because I always thought using the juice was specifically to obtain muscle mass.

From what I’ve read, she’s the one leading him more in the direction if iSLUM.
