USAToday: Failing to Celebrate Kaepernick is Ignoring what Makes America Great
By Jay Maxson | May 4, 2017 | 11:56 PM EDT


How can NFL teams possibly conceive of drafting college players under suspicion of having committed heinous crimes while leaving the great humanitarian/champion of free speech Colin Kaepernick out in the cold? That's the question USAToday writer Christine Brennan wants answered.

Kaepernick, the former 49er QB and current free agent and Black Lives Matter activist, remains unemployed, but NFL teams drafted some collegians last week who have been accused of physical or sexual assault.

  • "...and the winning number is...not yours!
Nope!

Seeing that not ONE of the NFL teams is showing any interest is what "MAGA"!!

So celebrating mediocre back bench players is what makes America great?

A great many people have pointed out that protesting something at your place of work can get you swiftly fired at many or most businesses. If Kaepernick wants to hoist  a sign on a street somewhere protesting the awfulness of the country that allows him to be filthy rich for throwing a football, that is his right.
But not on company time at his place of work...the company being the football team that employs him.

We have the msm  to insult our flag, our country, and our traditional American citizens.  We don't need a football player to represent your views.
