Kaepernick jersey sales soar to #1 after anthem controversy
Despite the outrage on your Facebook feed, it seems Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand during the national anthem has proven a popular one.
As noted by former Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg, Kap's jersey has almost overnight gone from the 20th-most popular shirt in the 49ers store to the No. 1 pick.
Or maybe all those people are buying his jersey so they can burn them in a counter-protest. Hard to say.
At any rate, the NFL will be happy to profit from this controversy. Kaepernick jerseys were on clearance at the end of last season, and now they're back at full-price: $99.99.
Kap will be addressing the congregation at San Francisco's Third Baptist Church on Sunday morning. You can watch a live stream of that here.
All Baptist churches aren’t the same.”
How well I know. Raised as a staunch Southern Baptist in Kansas. Will never forget going to a Christmas program at a Baptist Church in Houston when I first arrived and they were dancing on the stage. My first thought was that my mom would certainly have walked out at that point in time but she had to be turning over in her grave.
Am just surprised that the word Baptist and San Francisco appear in the same sentence or city, regardless of how liberal that Baptist church was.
Seat warmers. Sit on it.
Boycott NFL; watch college games instead.
Next time a city burns let’s count how many Colin shirts we spot.
He is a back up QB who will be forgotten once the season begins.
He was a no-show at the church, by the way.
Interesting. Not sure what to make of that. Thanks for letting me know.
