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.

He had one very good season (and not even an entire season at that). He has been out of the league for almost four years. The league even set up a special try-out session for him last year, which he effectively blew off. Yet the SJWs in the media talk about him like he's Johnny U or Joe Montana...
As for Brett Favre, he must have fallen off his tractor or gotten kicked in the head by a mule.
He's a little closer on the spectrum to Johnny Football.
Despicable too.
As a Packers fan, I was very disappointed to hear this from Favre this morning. He even went so far as calling him a hero for what he’s done and compared him to what Pat Tillman did. I face-palmed so hard after that one I still have a mark.......
QB’s stick to your game...I just wonder what guys like Yogi Berra would say in times like this.
I think Brett Favre wants something from the NFL.
He has no other reason to display his SJW bona fides.
>>QB’s stick to your game...
“Shut up and act.” ... or sing, or pass, as the case may be.
That’s the main reason we watch, and why you get paid so much.
I think it is more a black entitlement thing. They don't think he is especially talented. They just think somebody gots to hire the brutha. To not do so is racism. Just like blacks not winning oscars. It's not about being the best. Blacks gotta win some oscars.
If somebody doesn’t make kapernick a 1st stringer... stadiums will burn! /s/
Bump
One gave his life, the other bent a knee.
Favre is an utter kowtowing idiot.
At the end of the day pro athletes are nothing more than entertainers...and are apparently many are as beholden to the leftist ideology as the hollywood crowd. And like actors...they are way overpaid IMO.
Dang! I had almost completely forgotten about little Johnny Jockstrap!
Bret has had to many hits to the head. Please just go away and be remembered for being great.
Mr. Favre, will you campaign to promote Colin Kaepernick to be the new NFL Commissioner?
I have tried to cut some slack to Favre for a long time. The guy was a beast for the Pack and didn’t know the meaning of the word “quit”. Then he chose to sign with Minnesoda. I attributed that to one too many hits on his brain housing group.
This latest utterance from him is inexcusable and unforgivable.
Bless his heart.
Yeah, they are not in the same league. Oh, did I say that?!
Seem to remember a comic strip called ‘Tank McNamara’ and they hit on a character that was ‘Black’ who was a fair to middlin player,
He ‘whitewashed’ himself and as a ‘White’ he was a superstar.
