Above is a photo of benched 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's practice socks, which appear to show a pig in a police officer's hat. snip Despite being largely irrelevant on the field now, Kaepernick has managed to make himself the subject of a flood of headlines after he declared that he would no longer stand for the national anthem because America "oppresses" minorities and allows its cops to "murder" innocent people of color.
Over the weekend, he took his attack on police even further, saying in an interview Sunday, "People of color have been targeted by police. So that's a large part of it and they're government officials. They are put in place by the government. So that's something that this country has to change. There's things we can do to hold them more accountable. Make those standards higher. You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years, but you can become a cop in six months and don't have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist."
As the Daily Wire earlier this week, the San Francisco police union responded strongly to Kaepernick's blanket condemnation of officers, slapping him for his "incredible lack of knowledge" about what goes into law enforcement training and challenging him to come see firsthand what the training process entails.
Now these images of his socks have emerged, just inflaming to his anti-cop message. Here's hoping the 49ers cut classless Kaepernick and the rest of the NFL is wise enough to keep what will only prove a massive distraction off their rosters.
Rumor has it the Niners are going to do exactly that: they are going to shut down Kaepernick this season to avoid injury, and then cut him. Kaepernick does not want to go quietly, but as another FReeper said yesterday: “He’s burning more bridges than the Germans did during their retreats in 1945.”
He publicly immolates himself, gets cut from the NFL, becomes a pariah, runs through his money, and finally....
...the BLM Muslim woman who encouraged him to do this dumps him like yesterday’s coffee grounds.
Not a very bright guy.
70,000 fans moon him?
When they play the National Anthem at this Thursday’s NFL Salute to the Military, they should seat a disabled veteran next to Colin Kaepernick.
See who his contract are with. Complain to them.
Stop using their products. You can live without his brands.
Well,Hernandez went on to be convicted of Murder 1 in some kind of revenge thing from a bar incident.And now he's scheduled to go on trial in a *double* murder.
That,Rae Carruth and OJ kinda makes me wonder what this filthy punk might have under his fingernails...
He should be history. Did he think that was clever? I would cut him from the team if it was my call. Idiot.
Absolutely. I agree with you.
This guy is really giving the finger to the 49ers and the NFL.
My guess is the management wusses for the 49ers and NFL will let him get away with it.
Meanwhile, the brand continues to be soiled.

I’d love to see a bone sticking out if that leg.
“Clay Matters. What a mensch!”
TJ, can you handle this?
David, can you handle this?
Clay, can you handle this?
I don’t think they can handle this

I don’t know if San Diego fans will throw bottles and such stuff. But, I have no doubt that some fans in some cities will. Think of Kaepernick’s team mates! They are going to have to tolerate this bs all year. Imagine your entire team getting all time booed when they run on the field for the stupidity of one guy.
I envision some big 49ers lineman just whaling the crap out of him!
San Diego fans will not.
They are a very unenthusiaistic, low energy bunch, and probably the number one reason why it should have been the Chargers that moved to L.A. and not the Rams.
Nothing beats Cleveland’s 10 cent beer night in 1974 for crowd participation.
.............the last NFL game I attended was the Houston Oilers playing SD. This was in about 1980.
Thst’s how much I care about the NFL. I think now that the NFL thinks they can add politics to their brand, the sport is headed for oblivion.
He gets to wear pig/cop socks, but the Dallas players can't wear a sticker supporting 5 murdered police officers while they protected a BLM protest?
NBC newscaster Tim Russert, then a student at the Cleveland–Marshall College of Law, attended the game. “I went with $2 in my pocket,” recalled the Meet the Press host. “You do the math.”
I’ve seen beefier ankles on kindergartners.
Would be funny if this “Welfare Recipient” mindset were confronted with lower attendance and reduced viewership for his asinine antics.
I saw a grown man wearing “Robin the Boy Wonder” socks. What the heck is going on here?
Those are the kind of socks pre-teen girls wore in the ‘70s when they weren’t old enough to dress like grown ladies, but too old to dress like little girls.
