Kaepernick jersey sales soar to #1 after anthem controversy

By Katie Dowd Updated 9:53 am, Sunday, September 4, 2016

Despite the outrage on your Facebook feed, it seems Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand during the national anthem has proven a popular one.

As noted by former Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg, Kap's jersey has almost overnight gone from the 20th-most popular shirt in the 49ers store to the No. 1 pick.

The jersey must be a big favorite, with "white guilt" folks. WSJWs

They want to show their "solidarity" and how they are "down" for brutha Colon K.

To have a Jersey from a player with a short, controversial career? They'll be common as cat crap and worth twice as much.

Amazingly, on sport radio I believe it was, they were saying something that I kind of said prior.

The NFL, it's not a strict rule but in general, you have a bunch of white folks watching a lot of black athletes, so when someone like CK goes political, a lot of those people in the stands won't relate, may not like it.

I'll add on, it's long been maligned but that sport where they kick the ball around, let's just say, the demographics seem a bit different.

In saying that, sport is, yes, for everyone!

Same thing with the Redskins, folks like the football; not the social justice warriors (SJWs) saying "that symbol is racist". My gosh, what is America coming to!

It took over seven years for the NCAA to finally force the University of North Dakota to drop the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo, the logo designed by Bennet Brien (who is American Indian), approved by the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribal Elders, and a tribute to a warrior culture.

I guess the folks at the NCAA decided the Native Americans were too something to be offended, so they'd be offended for them.

Then the SJWs started in on the Redskins.

Any bets how many more players from how many more NFL teams join KP this next Sunday?   And where is this going and where will it all end?  Maybe this.   "Ladies and Gentlemen, if you wish we invite you to rise for the playing of the National Anthem".

Possible scenario: Thousands of season ticket holders, decide to not renew for next season. Send note, saying this was a straw that broke their backs.

League holds special meeting, to consider rules about "harm to the team, the league," etc. And ask if any owner wants to void Colon K.'s contract?

An average American does NOT think getting paid $20 million per anum, is a hostice condition, or that some discrimination harmed the recipient.

Black two term President is further proof of the ridiculous nature of the protest.
