Some Tough Truths About Colin Kaepernick
The pampered mobs who have taken over Seattle and portions of other liberal dumpster-fire cities have been flailing about for a leader whom they can crown as King of the #Resistance. The Idiot Dictator in charge of the National Football League and his suddenly woke players seem to want that figurehead to be one of its more spectacular failures, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick hasn’t been in the league for a few years now but the woke mob keeps him in the national conversation. Nike made Kaepernick a constant presence via finger-wagging advertising that transformed him from failed quarterback to martyr, which is probably the job he really wants.
There is a lot of speculation that Kaepernick really doesn’t want to be back in the NFL, he just wants to be the guy who gets to whine about being kept out of the NFL.
The conversation focusing on Kaepernick long ago stopped being about his football skills. The prevailing politically correct narrative is that he was drummed out of the NFL because he was kneeling in protest during the National Anthem before each game. Anyone who suggests otherwise is immediately branded a racist.
It’s a brilliant PR campaign. Kaepernick hasn’t played a down in three years but is still spoken about as if he would be ready to take the field tomorrow. Even President Trump has mentioned that Kaepernick should be given another shot at playing. Clown car driver and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is keeping Kaepernick’s name in conversations that no one really wanted him to be a part of.

You sure are a jerk. Just think about the epigraph on your tombstone. "Here lies Brett Favre. Best known for kissing the ass of Colin Kaepernick. Oh...and we think he may have played football, not sure."
And Brett, you’re a blanking loser.
Vicodin is a helluva drug.
Sorry, that should read “epitaph”. I hate spell check.
Kaepernick is an angry Black male who stunk at football.
Guess I won’t be buying any of that copper fit junk after all. Brett has enough $$ at $100 mil anyways.
Kaepernick is no Curt Flood.
Nope, now he will be remembered for siding with the haters of our great America, that's it.
Favre didn't just cross a line... ...he fumbled in his own endzone, pottied on his own Country and his (once-and-former) fans, and thus he ensured his place in the dustbin of forgotten ingrate millionaires.
I hope some team offers him a job this year, since it is mostly a lost year anyway.
I hope they put him in for all the pre-seaason games.
I’m guessing he will suck.
At some point, the left will say that he is being treated unfairly, and if you honor “Black Lives Matter”, you will stop tackling him in the backfield.
Me too
Whoever signs him will be stuck starting him & they never will be able to bench or cut him.
And what is forgotten in all this... HE OPTED OUT of a multimillion$ final year with the 49ers. Nobody forced him out of the NFL.
Brett Favray took too many hits to the head! He’s a phuckin idiot now!!
Brett, please shut up, Thank You. A former fan of yours...
“I just wonder what guys like Yogi Berra would say in times like this.”
People don’t shop there because of the rioting it’s because there’s nothing left in the store from the looting?
The word “hero” has no application whatever to people who play games, whether professionally or for recreation; and especially to those who throw tantrums during those games. The criteria for heroism are beyond the capability or inclination of such overgrown children.
As for Brett Favre, he must have fallen off his tractor or gotten kicked in the head by a mule.
Can't rule out STI, or inherent stupidity.
He’s being romanticized by the Media the way Curt Flood was when he refused a trade to from St. Louis to Philadelphia. The difference is that Curt Flood’s case eventually lead to the legal abolition of Baseball’s reserve clause. So while Flood didn’t want to play anymore, he (or rather his lawyers) actually achieved something lasting. Is there anything positive likely to happen from Kaepernick’s on-again/off-again career? I really don’t see it.
After some thought on the matter, I opt for inherent stupidity.
