Colin Kaepernick Doubles Down Against America, Rocks Fidel Castro Shirt After National Anthem Protest
Ah, it seems like only yesterday that NFL experts and Philadelphia fans alike were calling for the Eagles to trade for Colin Kaepernick as he would be the perfect fit for the Chip Kelly system. Instead, Chip goes mad with power and runs himself out of the City of Brotherly Love, and Kaep gets benched by Levi Stadium’s former coach by day and janitor by night Jim Tomsula. By some miracle, Kelly lands back on his feet in the same spot as his “ideal quarterback,” and yet the dream marriage between the two never left the altar. Gabbert’s still QB1, Kaep’s on his way out, and the 49ers are going to be a beautiful train wreck this season. Life has a funny way of working out.
So knowing he’s about to get cut, Colin Kaepernick has shrewdly taken control of his own demise and rewritten the headlines to his own story.
Rather than being remembered as the guy that couldn’t beat out human sack cushion Blaine Gabbert, Kaep is just the political activist that lost his job for his own personal beliefs. He couldn’t cut it in the NFL because he doubled down on anti-American sentiment, not because he just doesn’t have the talent anymore. Not the first road I’d personally travel down to spin public perception of me, but hey, it’s still a better legacy than being the guy that lost his starting gig to Gabbert..

This is the same guy who was fined last year for calling an opponent the n-word. Fuck him, his $19 million salary, his self-righteous hypocrisy, and anyone who agrees with him.
8 years ago at 5:05 pmironic that he’s protesting the flag of the country that gives him the right to do that. If he did this in Castro’s Cuba it wouldn’t have gone so well
8 years ago at 5:47 pmWearing a JFK shirt in Cuba TFTC.
8 years ago at 7:42 pmAnd he just converted to Islam this summer. Didn’t know they could stack shit that high
8 years ago at 5:47 pmOK private Cowboy
8 years ago at 6:06 pmHe did say that Hillary should be in prison so I can’t fully hate the guy
8 years ago at 8:16 pmStill a jerk for being a privileged hypocritical poser
8 years ago at 6:46 amI want some of that $19 million oppression
8 years ago at 6:53 amAmen to that brotha!
8 years ago at 9:42 amWho gives a fuck. Hes as stupid as he is ugly. I hope the honey badger blitzes off the edge and decapitates him
8 years ago at 5:05 pmin what game? It’s hard to get injured when you don’t even play
8 years ago at 9:39 amWhat a fucking clown.
8 years ago at 5:07 pmFeel for him, he lived under his oppressive white parents his whole life. I would blame them and the country for the shit position he is in.
8 years ago at 5:09 pmFuck you and everything you just said.
8 years ago at 5:28 pmAnd fuck colin kaepernick.
8 years ago at 5:29 pmyou’re not great at sarcasm
8 years ago at 5:45 pm
8 years ago at 5:14 pmHas anyone else noticed that he’s started to look like a Muslim terrorist ever since he began to go all anti American? Get the FBI on that dude
8 years ago at 5:19 pmThis piece of crap should move to Cuba and see how easy it’ll be to receive a $100 million dollar contract for anything. F him and those who taught him the propaganda lies about what country has given minorities the best opportunity for being successful in the history of the world.
8 years ago at 5:26 pmHe makes more money in a day than military men and women make in a year yet he is oppressed, fuck kaepernick
8 years ago at 5:28 pmMore then they make in 20
8 years ago at 5:48 pmShoutout to real NFL players like Pat Tillman and Glen Coffee who cared more about this Great Country than they did a pay check
8 years ago at 8:01 pmI want ONE example of systemic racism in America. There isn’t one. There is no law specifically meant to hold down black people. In fact there’s laws and amendments protecting their rights.
8 years ago at 5:31 pmWhoever just voted this down I want you to prove me wrong. Go ahead
8 years ago at 5:49 pmYou mean the policies that say if they finish with a B average in high school they get admission and full scholarships to top tier universities?
8 years ago at 6:35 pmOr what about the fact that they can call white people any stereotype or slang name they want and it’s cool but if we ever sleep we are racist/ bigot/ career ruined. Even though my family historically has done zero to oppress anyone.
8 years ago at 6:38 pmSlip*
8 years ago at 7:26 pmExamples:
-Crack has a stiffer legal penalty than cocaine does, even though they have the same chemical composition. The only difference is that crack is used by lower income minorities and cocaine is used by upper-middle class white men.
-Black children who commit a violent crime are 6x more likely to receive a prison sentence than white children who commit the same crime.
-White men without a criminal record are more likely to be hired than a black man without one.
-Employers are more likely to hire a white man with a bachelor’s degree over a black man with a bachelor’s, master’s, and work experience
8 years ago at 7:03 pmGood thing I paid attention in my psychology and sociology classes. The only reason these “facts” you listed have a shred of truth to them is because STATISTICALLY black men are more likely to be arrested and be sentenced just because there is a larger population of minorities in low income areas, hence more likely to resort to crime and drugs as a means of income due to desperation, and more likely to be incarcerated. And white men more likely to be hired? I call bullshit. My black friend Tony has worked at my office for 3 months and got a promotion over me just because my company was criticized for not having enough “minority leaders,” even though my boss, her boss, and the ceo are all currently minorities. I call bs on everything.
8 years ago at 7:15 pmRight, black men make up only 4% of the population yet commit over 60% of the crimes.
Facts, reality and PATTERN Recognition is not hate speech or racist.
8 years ago at 11:19 pmYour “friend Tony” is anecdotal evidence, I’m a fucking conservative but there are an insurmountable number of studies that have found blacks are discriminated in job hiring and in sentencing. I’m not saying there’s a giant conspiracy against them but complete denial is retarded. I’ll take whatever laps I get for this, but what I say is backed by empirical data.
8 years ago at 12:13 amDid you even read his comment. Blacks convicted of the same crime as whites and have the same mitigating factors receive harsher punishments.
8 years ago at 12:52 amHey idiot, the leaders who imposed strict crack cocaine laws were BLACK DEMOCRATS AND BLACK RELIGIOUS LEADERS FROM INNER CITIES. Make use of Google, chief.
8 years ago at 6:48 amYou might have forgot that certain people can be hired over you because of their race to meet “diversity quotas”.
8 years ago at 11:17 pmMinorities make such a big deal about the whole police killing debacle. White people get killed significantly more than do AFrican Americans (by percentage AFrican Americans just a bit more than their percentage of population). My point is that there is a police problem in general that can easily be fixed just by longer training programs and better training quality. Racism is bs that is significantly overplayed (it does exist on occasion).
8 years ago at 3:21 amI’m glad we have a highly trained field training officer over here to tell us how rigorous police training is
8 years ago at 6:55 amI agree with you 100%, and unfortunately when I say this on my personal accounts I get vilified. Apparently it’s racist to think everyone is equal
8 years ago at 9:41 amFuck him and Stephen A.
