Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was top of mind for The Washington Post ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Kaepernick was described in the story as Super Bowl LX’s "most relevant" figure despite the 49ers not making it and the subject of the story being out of football for nearly 10 years.
"The game will be played in his former home stadium, in the place where his protest made him a national lightning rod and a global symbol," Adam Kilgore wrote of Kaepernick. "The social issues swirling around America’s largest sporting spectacle carry distinct echoes of what prompted his actions and what led to his exile. And yet he remains outside the conversation and invisible within the confines of the NFL."
The story continued to assess Kaepernick’s legacy after he launched a kneeling protest against social injustice in the U.S. and wondered about his voice amid outrage against the Trump administration’s policy on illegal immigration after two deadly incidents involving federal agents in Minnesota.
The story garnered immense reaction on X.

Famous for being infamous.
Krapernick was a mediocre player who had one or two decent seasons. Several years ago.But the lefties still idolize him for his stupid “look at meeeeee” woke kneeling and whining.
LOL!
i detest Kaepernick knowing all about him- making a fortune from race hustling- but he played it right....he made tens of millions of $$$ playing the victim and never took a hit...
Cry as he may, never getting back into the league was the best thing that happened to him...
And pretending he was just a poor black child.
Agreed. If he had stayed out of politics he could have had a long career as a backup - there is always a need for even minimally competent QBs. Witness the Colts giving Philip Rivers starts this season after he'd been out of football for four years.
What I found most ironic.... he was raised by adoptive white parents.

It’s always the in-betweeners, and light-skinned ones that get radicalized. Not white enough for whites, but not black enough for blacks, so they have to overcompensate.
Colon Krapernik didn’t just take a knee. He also wore socks depicting cops as pigs.
Don’t be surprised if Colon becomes a tenured Harvard professor teaching social justice. His advanced courses will be:
How To Buy Large Mansions (BLM).

Palestinian activist linda sarsour got to weak minded “krapernick” through his girlfriend & stalled his $20mm/year contract, sent his career into a tail spin & wrecked havoc on the NFL that, in many ways hasn’t recovered till today
As Obi-Wan said in Star Wars, “Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time...”
An ingrate not worthy of the time of day.
The guy will be 70, and still talk about making a comeback.
Exactly- it was his girlfriend that made him believe he was a victim....
His agent coming out of Nevada was also a Jewish guy who did a great job for him....
No good deed goes unpunished.
I always got the feeling he was a black guy raised by White people and inoculated with White Savior Syndrome.

Much of sports media is just crazy left wing propaganda masquerading as sports news. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Sports audiences overwhelmingly reject this content, but shutting down the sports department and having this article run two days later is just too perfect.
