Current and former professional athletes slammed Friday's not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial as evidence of a racist America and criminal justice system.
The charges against Rittenhouse were first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. The trial, which lasted several weeks and finished with closing arguments on Monday, resulted in the jury on Friday finding Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts after three days of deliberations.
Colin Kaepernick, a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, said the result of the trial shows the need for "our current system" to be abolished while referring to Rittenhouse as a "white supremacist."
"We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist," Kaepernick tweeted Friday following the verdict. "This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed."
Meanwhile, NFL free agent quarterback Robert Griffin III appeared to compare Rittenhouse's self-defense case to that of a man convicted of first-degree murder for the shooting death of Oklahoma businessman Paul Howell during a carjacking in 1999.
"Kyle Rittennhouse [sic] can kill without a sliver of doubt & walk free but Julius Jones is in jail for life without the chance for parole after being on death row for 20 years with all types of doubt in his case," Griffin said Friday in a tweet. "What is Justice? God help us."

There was a trial? Most of them probably believe they simply said “you can go”.
An undeniable truth of life has been on display for some time now.
“Those who choose to look at everything through the prism of race are in fact the racists”
America-loving FReepers will continue to regale us with their “We Worship Football
I see Robert Griffin III from Baylor is in the article.
The only thing the race baiters know about racism is their own they want to spread it so everyone else is as miserable as they are.
The media use it as hook for ratings the stupid are willing to take the bait the lot of them are only useful for squid food.

‘The Terroristic Acts Of A White Supremacist’: Sports World Reacts to Rittenhouse Verdict
More proof that these so-called professional athletes are nothing more then people with one gift and it doesn’t include reason or logic.

Have a great weekend folks.
Rittenhouse spoiled the narrative by demonstrating there are consequences.
The left is outraged about the concept of consequences for their actions.
THAT is why they are mad a Rittenhouse.
His self-defense is "racist" because it stifled their race riots.
I concur...they learned nothing from Nick...
And hes already offered to help kyle...
Idiots...😂
It’s gonna be a big list. Sure hope some ambulance chasers is saving all the videos and commentary.
Don Jr is gonna need a bigger picture frame. 😂🙌
Heard Glen beck is ready to pony up some cash to get the ball rolling.
That about sums it up.

(Meanwhile at the Pub)
I'm interested in the Real World.
Well said.
Apparently RGIII, like Kaepernick, finally realized he wasn’t going to make it in the NFL and he’d be better off as a race hustler.
Regardless, no one can miss the game... Got to have your priorities you know...
