THE COLIN KAEPERNICK CAPER
Patriots,
hardly anything is more controversial than the Kaepernick Caper right now. I’m sure you have heard Colin Kaepernick the ex-starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers on-going protest of the National Anthem. It seems he finds it fitting to protest the National Anthem by sitting through the playing at the beginning of every game!! To me and other Patriots we consider this an affront and an insult to our beloved country and what it stands for. Our ancestors paid in blood and sacrifice for our ability to see the flag unfurled and those colors raised.
I don’t think athletes, actors and other celebrities should use sporting events to express their grievances. They like to use those positions to sway political opinion and it is quite inappropriate and insulting. In one photograph, I saw Colin insult and downgrade the police force (you know Colin was wearing socks depicting cartoon pigs in police uniforms). His demonstration is supposed to bring light to the oppression and persecution of people of color in the United States by the government and the police force. He stated that he was going to give 1 million dollars to various causes to support oppressed blacks (like Black Lives Matter, the NAACP etc.). Colin has been convinced by the lying propagandists in the media and liberal groups that police officers just target blacks and shoot them indiscriminately without any provocation, nothing could be further from the truth!! I would like to say to Colin to please check the facts in all of these cases and see almost every one of these cases are based on false narratives (see Black Lies Matter, August 2016 archives also watch Louder with Crowder youtube if you want more corroboration). COLIN’S WHOLE PROTEST IS BASED ON LIES FROM THE LIBERAL LYING PRESS!!!!
Colin Kaepernick could now be relegated to a third string Quarterback according to UPI and maybe that is part of the reason he is taking this controversial tactic to bring attention to himself? If Colin wants to be a political activist and base his whole protest on false narratives he should drop out of football altogether and go directly to help in the downtrodden neighborhoods of our liberal run cities , such as Chicago (however I suggest armed guards). Actually I suggest since he is a millionaire he should give most of his money to reputable charity organizations that help inner city become educated and help get them jobs to be productive members of our great country. Then he could move to another country like Cuba or Venezuela that really oppresses everybody equally and see how he likes it. Maybe after he gives away all of his money he would take us up on our Free Vacation Program (see archives Free Vacation August 2016).
How dare a spoiled rotten celebrity athlete, disrespect our country, our flag, our military and our police under the guise of false oppression. I don’t see a lot of oppression in professional sports with multi-millionaire pro-athletes who should be thankful to all of those men and women that came before them and sacrificed their lives and bodies so that they could live in the LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!!! That definitely includes our men and women in BLUE that have to go out there on the front lines in harms-way, even when they are lied about to protect our society and keep us out of Anarchy!!
These games are entertainment and should be a release after a hard weeks work, the NFL as well as all sports programs should be apolitical and if these organizations can’t control the situation by fining or firing individuals, we should as patrons vote with our wallets and quit attending said venues!!!
