Some heroes rush into burning buildings and rescue others; some rush into battle for their country at risk of life and limb; others take a knee during their national anthem and pretend they are brave. Former NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick was never a fireman nor a soldier, but he did take a knee and Nike made him a rich, unemployed, mediocre quarterback.
When Detroit Lions Jeff Driskel got placed on injured reserve and their starter, Matthew Stafford out four consecutive games with a fractured back, the team needed to find another QB to fill in for the floundering team. Instead of tapping Kaepernick on the shoulder, they decided to add two new guys to their roster, none of whom was the millionaire victim of the "man."
It isn't as if the team had no idea just how talented Kaepernick is--they were one of the eight teams that sent reps to attend his last minute rescheduled workout. They saw a less than mediocre quarterback with an ego that went well beyond his talent, and decided to sign Kyle Sloter, 25, and Joe Callahan, 26, and place them both on their practice squad.
Undrafted rookie David Blough debuted as the Lions’ quarterback on Thanksgiving Day and threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns.
After the has-been Kaepernick’s workout for prospective employers, sports business analyst Andrew Brandt wrote in Sports Illustrated, “I have been around the NFL — as an agent, team executive and analyst — for close to 30 years and have never seen the league set up an individual player workout. Teams and agents set up workouts; the NFL does not set up workouts. This was unprecedented.”

Perhaps the NFL was afraid of being labeled racist by Kaepernick.
The big haired Kaepernick isn't just a suckworthy QB, he is also a crap load of trouble and there aren't too many teams willing to put up with trouble when it comes in a package of mediocrity.
Kaepernick's knowledge of American history is also mediocre. On November 28th, he accused the United States of having "stolen" billions of acres of land from "Indigenous people."
He tweeted:
“Spent the morning at the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Ceremony on the 50 year anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz. The US government has stolen over 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people. Thank you to my Indigenous family, I’m with you today and always.”
Now the American settlers were not perfect, nobody is. But all throughout history, land confiscations have taken place among all cultures. It's only the United States the left hates and blames for it, as if the spoils of war never existed.
It's similar to Kaepernick's take on slavery where he acts as if America was the only slave nation that ever existed. But let's be clear: America is the only nation that fought a war to end slavery and the rights of all minorities are the same. After all, Kaepernick was once a good quarterback and made a ton of money while being black.
But leftists and terrorists love to play the victim . . . but I repeat myself.
