From failed NFL quarterback to professional race-baiter and America hater. I despise this punk.

Back in our cheery, prelapsarian days—2016, to be exact—a young and photogenic NFL quarterback named Colin Kaepernick chose to express his patriotism by kneeling whenever the National Anthem was played before football games. He kneeled, you see, merely to protest police mistreatment of African Americans. And we knew that Kaepernick actually loved America because he told us so . “I’m not anti-America,” he said. “I love America…. I think having these conversations helps everybody have a better understanding of where everybody is coming from.”
And everyone bought it. Oh, how they loved to love Kaepernick’s love. “Colin Kaepernick Reminds Us that Dissent Is a Form of Patriotism Too,” read the Washington Post headline affixed to Sally Jenkins’s column on the matter. Also in the Washington Post, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar weighed in to say that Kaepernick was conducting himself “in a highly patriotic manner that should make all Americans proud.” At ESPN, Ian O’Connor’s contribution “You Can Knock Colin Kaepernick—Don’t Call Him Un-American,” offered this : “They say football builds character. In America, we should celebrate the fact that Colin Kaepernick just revealed his.”
If you didn’t understand how taking a knee for the National Anthem showed supreme love of country, maybe you needed to acquaint yourself better with the nuances of the truly patriotic mind. So Psychology Today got in on the act. Headline: “Colin Kaepernick’s Protest is as Patriotic as Apple Pie.” Another Psychology Today column, titled “Why Colin Kaepernick Is a Patriot,” explained that “the act of defiance that Kaepernick engaged in actually embodies a specific type of patriotism: that of constructive allegiance to one’s nation.”

If I wasnt already boycotting Disney I would be now. What in hell is Kaepernick going to contribute?! And they actually are going to pay him?!
He must really hate the half of him that’s White
Well, yeah.
“He must really hate the half of him that’s White.”
I think his emo-dynamic is something other.
Excellent piece.
The last paragraph is so on the mark.
He’s beyond an ungrateful POS
I don’t often wish ill on people, but . . .
“I’m not anti-America,” he said. “I love America…. “
We knew it was BS back then.
He ain’t white, his soul is black through and through.
I think he lost what little talent he had and he loved the attention so much that he became a contrarian, an iconoclast, and a pain in the butt.
All for attention.
Well stated
Odds are this punk is going to figure he can get away with anything and end up screwing himself good. It’s not like he’s useful t the people who run things other than as the distraction of the moment.
Black Lies Matter
America is so racist it gave Mahomes the richest contract in sports history. Start the rioting and looting!
Are he and Rachel Dolezal together? If not, they should be.
Nike, million$, slave labor, what else is there to say?
He is a racist black supremacy scumbag who has millions and then states he is oppressed. Then companies like Nike go along with his crap
The Left’s next mantra: Hating America is the truest form of patriotism.
I blame this punk’s rise in part on the owners of the 49ers. Had Eddie DeBartolo still been in charge, Krapperneck would have been immediately benched or fired. That would have nipped this kneeling crap in the bud before it spread across the league.
