CBS Retracts Story that Kaepernick Would Stand for Anthem if Signed
Breitbart ^ | 8 Oct 2017 | Dylan Gwinn

Posted on 10/08/2017 12:53:51 PM PDT by conservative98

The woman perhaps, most singularly responsible for Colin Kaepernick remaining a free agent, and out of the NFL, has spoken. Much like you would expect, her words do not bode well for Kaepernick’s chances of resuming his career.

Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa Diab, sent this tweet out on Sunday:

The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone. pic.twitter.com/tWusUBJMeF

After strong reactions like that from Diab, and reports from Kaepernick’s camp, La Canfora retracted his story the statement he had made earlier on a CBS’ NFL pregame show.

Did the reporter make it up? Did someone tell him but now will not own up to it?

Why doesn’t he speak for himself. Why does his girlfriend have to do it?

Next Crapernick will claim he’s been abducted into a cult and is not responsible for his actions.

If this was a trial balloon, it was lead-lined.

BTW, in the NYDN version, no quotes were used. That should have been a tip off.

Shove this up your thug a$$ Kaepernick!

Well researched.

Major Findings:

• The evidence suggests that if there is police racial bias in arrests it is negligible. Victim and witness surveys show that police arrest violent criminals in close proportion to the rates at which criminals of different races commit violent crimes.

• Both violent and non­violent crime has been declining in the United States since a high in 1993. 2015 saw a disturbing rise in murder in major American cities that some observers associated with depolicing” in response to intense media and public scrutiny of police activity.

Crime rates

• There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.

• In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non­black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

Interracial crime

• In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.

Urban centers

• In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting”—defined as firing a bullet that hits someone—a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.

• If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.

• In an all­-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.

Police shootings

• In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.

• In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.

I find it very telling that the girlfriend is the one who shot down the story. He probably said it, but then she flipped out and let him have it!

Well, we can certainly tell who wears the jock strap in that relationship.

How manly of her to protect that sweet little guy she has wrapped around her warped little finger.

Not sure why it’s news now. Here’s a story from 6+ months ago:

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18805744/colin-kaepernick-stand-national-anthem-next-season

...Quarterback Colin Kaepernick will stand during the national anthem next season, sources told ESPN on Thursday...

...Kaepernick will opt out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday and become a free agent next week, sources told ESPN...

He will never come back now because the owners hate controversy (or they will when the bottom line sinks) and because he is not a very good QB. And I don’t give a damn what he says or does. But hear this, any team that hired him would have to weather a huge fire storm for sure.

He probably said he would but didn’t clear it with his Communist girlfriend first. She gives the orders and wears the proletarian pants.
