Colin Kaepernick Personifies Why We Should Find More Constructive Ways to Spend Our Sunday Afternoons

There is a two-word explanation for why the NFL is not currently worthy of our attention: Colin Kaepernick. The mentality of this spoilt, posturing, America-hating ingrate is not only tolerated but widespread among the zillionaire goons we waste so many Sundays watching play a game:

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.

His latest refusal to stand for the anthem — he has done this in at least one other preseason game — came before the 49ers’ preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi’s Stadium on Friday night.

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game.

The rich and famous Kaepernick is himself a supposedly oppressed person of color, who was adopted and raised by white parents.

Here’s a guy who enjoys far less wealth and privilege but still manages to stand for his country — despite a heart-breaking impediment:

He presumably lost those legs to preserve a way of life that enables Kaepernick to make $19 million per year playing a game — or rather sitting on a bench watching others play a game. Despite the bloated salary, Kaepernick isn’t good enough to be a starting player.

The Black Lives Matter virus is turning the NFL into a breeding ground of sociopathic politics. If the libs running the league want regular Americans to watch it, they will have to demand respectful conduct from players.
