“By losing that job, he gained a legacy, a career,” said Marcus Hunter, chair of the department of African-American Studies at UCLA. “Now, he has more than a job. He’s an activist-minded thought leader about the state of race in America. A lot of young people, including a lot who I teach, often find themselves sitting there waiting to see what he is going to say.”

Eddie Pells,

"Instead of being forever known as a Super Bowl champion, Kaepernick will go down as the quarterback who kneeled"....and who wore cops are pigs socks. He is a bum.

The only thing Kaepernick exposed is himself. And who he is ain’t pretty.

Me too!!!

I wait with bated breath for any and all statements pouring from the likes of K, DHogg, any of the LIB pResidential candidates etc to see if they can top themselves in the idiocy and plain old asinine department.

The ‘team’ of Pelosi, Biden, Warren, Bernie, Hillary and thier ilk(age wise) have set back us folks over 80 as every time they speak America gets to see what they perceive is how senile, stupid and nonsensical people over 70 are

He is an ingrate entitled prima donna. Why do cops look at black men? Because black men commit an out of proportionate amount of crime. Next question.

I don’t care if someone is Kaepernick’s girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, cousin or best friend.

I don’t care if someone is Kaepernick himself.

The reality of this whole farce is that Kaepernick has made a grand total of about 10 statements on ‘his’ issue, especially at the time he was an active NFL player.

All the exposition, speculation, condemnation, indignation and accusation has come from....wait for it...THE MEDIA.

One sports talker after another piously informed us that ‘there is a problem with injustice in this country blah blah effing blah.’

They repeated all the myths. All the lies. All the narratives. All the received wisdom.

They had no idea what Kaepernick was actually saying - because he wasn’t saying much. And when he did it was one or two sentences of absolute cliche. Everything else was media-driven - which, of course, they loved because it allowed them carte blanche to get political.

If they want injustice I have some for them:

-people living cradle to grave in relative luxury on someone else’s dime. Furnished apartment or house, heat, A/C, flat panel TV, smartphone, food (without requirements for nutritional value), health care, child care, school (aka free babysitting).

-12% of the population committing 50% of the crime with most of that 50% of a violent or extreme nature (eg hard drugs)

-Exorbitant taxes to pay for all of the above

-The need to move 10, 20 even 30 miles from a city center in order to obtain land, schools, housing and neighborhoods that are relatively safe without the need for constant police patrols

-Police who treat property crime with a shrug and ask ‘aren’t you insured?’

-Being blamed for the ills of society while receiving no credit or having credit misattributed in the areas of engineering, science, medicine, commerce, manufacturing etc etc.

-Opening borders to terrorists, criminals, spongers, chancers, pimps and birth tourists.

Our society is well out of whack. But for reasons very different to the ones Kap and his mindless minions espouse.

It seems that the concept of “kaepernick” will never die. Maybe it will be added to the Oxford dictionary next.

The Niners lost that game 34-31 and were relegated to the forgettable list of very good NFL teams who came in second place. For the man who threw that pass, Colin Kaepernick, things have never been the same

Feel good story of the day.

Hey Eddie.

Give it a rest. Kaepernick will never be your boyfriend.

You don’t make nearly enough money to be his sugar daddy.

Kaepernick should have been more grateful to what he was given by his country. He’s just another whiner who blames how his life turned out on something or someone other than himself. It could be he just has a mental problem that needs to be treated.

at 32, Kaepernick could, conceivably, be in his prime.

He had the best season of his career in 2012 because with only 7 starts his run-pass option game was still new to opposing defenses. He won exactly one game in his final season, and on top of that (or to provide cover for that?) he became more of a distraction than his fading skills were worth.

I also have an essay of about 1,300 words I send to the NFL, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and Nike, but here is the letter I send to papers and commentators annually.

Kneeling for the National Anthem

The Star-Spangled Banner provides the majestic musical/visual symbol of the Constitution I swore to support and defend as a Navy officer. My indefinitely binding oath requires standing for the National Anthem and kneeling to pray for the country.

The NFL, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and Nike endorse the offense of kneeling when the anthem is played thereby disparaging the country and supporting social justice illusions. But veterans understand settling grievances requires revering the essence of our country and trusting its freedoms.

They are aware that when armed forces members make the ultimate sacrifice they are wrapped in the Star-Spangled Banner in remembrance of freedom. When America’s fallen arrive at Dover Air Force Base from the Middle East their caskets are covered with a Star-Spangled Banner. When they are buried the flag is removed, elegantly folded, and given to a spouse, child, sibling, or parent.

Previously success was defined by marriage, raising kids, career, etc. Now a fashionable consensus defines success around one group adjusting behaviors to validate emotional damage others inflict upon themselves by using a paranoid screen for perceptions of brutality and prejudgment to shape their lives. The instigators gain prestige lacking dreams to pursue or accomplishment to celebrate. The subservient parties acquire costless moral superiority by holding themselves and the country in disgust.

I will always choose success through the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedom over sheltering within codependent relationships. This country needs “a new birth of freedom” faithful to the Constitution as the embodiment of American ideals.

Another fun fact about Colon Krapydick: in his last season, he ranked a nondescript 18th in passer rating among QBs with at least 200 attempts - just a whisker ahead of Tyrod Taylor.
