How would Kaepernick field a winning football team? Whoops, said field. Is that racist?

This idiot will do anything for attention.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

I don’t believe so.  The NFL has never owned slaves and Kaepernick has never picked cotton.  I’m still trying to wrap my head around all this black/white [BLEEP] as it relates to 2021

He has a series on Netflix now. Evidently it's based on his life growing up in a white family.

I can see the parallels:

Huge signing bonuses.

Skipping the final year of college to go into the draft

Driving a Bentley Continental

This ideology has dominated geo politics for the last 100 years.  It's sad really.

I heard someone bring up a good point about this.

Is this the same system of slavery that Kaepernick attempted several times to return to?

Was just the nudge I needed to go on ahead and kick Netflix to the curb. Probably have only watched 5 movies in the past year anyhow. Any ideas how to spend the whopping $15.99 extra a month I just came into?

Obviously this is patently ridiculous. The idea that he was blacklisted from the league for his position on social justice completely ignores the fact that there were quite a few other NFL quality players that took the same position he did and were able to stay in the league. He started out to send a message but he's blown it out the window with the conspiracy theory stuff.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
