Colin Kaepernick sent a note of appreciation to LeBron James amid the NBA players’ strike over the police shooting of Jacob Blake last weekend.

James revealed the note on Instagram in the days after the players forced the NBA to postpone playoff games as they looked for ways to combat social injustice. Kaepernick, who started a movement in 2016 when he knelt during the national anthem, thanked James for helping to keep things moving.

“Four years ago on August 14, 2016, I began protesting against systemic racism and social injustice. Truth is what I sought. Solidarity is what you showed me. Love is what moves us forward. Thank you for staying true,” Kaepernick wrote in his note to the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.

They left out the mushy part about "I always thought you were cute" and that stuff. Endorsement corporate CEOS are not sure they want to go in that direction yet.

“Four years ago on August 14, 2016, I began protesting against systemic racism and social injustice...........and I sucked as a quarterback and couldn’t get a job so I became a full time race baiter and a complete ashhole.

I quit watching the hate-filled, virtue signaling sports. I only laugh at anything Colon says because it is just the flatulence you would expect.

Good Lord, did Janet Dailey posthumously pen that love note?
What’s next, a movie?
It would be X-rated, because of the, shall we say, sucking up involved.

NBA player job description.

1. Run up and down the court.

2. Throw ball at metal ring.

3. Lecture the world about everything because you run up and down a court and throw a ball at a metal ring,

What hypocrites! They damn this country and praise China where the mass extermination of another race, the wholesale slaughter of newborn babies, and the destruction of all religions is taking place. There are no individual rights in China.

Money, greed is all that is involved with these players of children’s games.
