Outside New Era Field, one vendor was selling a T-shirt “Wanted: Notorious Disgrace to America,” and with a picture of Kaepernick throwing a pass and a bullseye aimed at his chest.

It’s just marketing. I don’t mind.

Krappernick lacks the mental speed to be a quarterback.

He didn’t belong in the NFL, but the stupid Yorks took him because he cost them nothing up front.

Today’s loss serves them right.

From USAA on their message board (it is posted several times with minor variation):

We have no plans to end our role as the Official Military Sponsor of the NFL. The NFL provides a great platform through which we can raise awareness about and appreciation for America’s military and their families. We are proud to work with great players like Army veteran and Pittsburgh Steeler Alejandro Villanueva and teams across the League. We seek to create unique opportunities to recognize and thank America’s active-duty military members, veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. We sincerely hope this will not be a deciding factor in your continued relationship with USAA. Thank you for your membership.

"The anti-American got booed by fans. Then got his ass beat like a drum."

Yes. As it should be.

Pro tip for the liberal media:

The Buffalo Bills FANS weren't "mean" to Kaepernick.

The Buffalo Bills themselves were mean to him.

Hope it continues for the rest of the season.

I expect this pathetic sports parasite to put much of his ill-gotten wealth into drugs and call girls. For one who shows such poor judgement, it is a given.

Someone should have told Colin Blow, that the Canadian border was just to the West.

Oh, so this is why he does it:

Thanks for letting me know that, pos San Jose Mercury.

Not to mention that KraperNick is a half-black who was adopted by a white family and grew up nowhere near black society. Like a president I know.

I’d be more pleased/encouraged if he received rough treatment from the Bills defensive line.

What a great idea too! Selling Kapernick jerseys with a target reticle superimposed over the back of the jersey.

Better soak up all of the attention now because another game like today's and he is going to be a has been nothingburger.

More like a 'never was in the first place' nothingburger, but who is counting?
