Top echelon quarterback blackballed for peacefully modifying a national pre-game ritual for a good cause.
The majority of NFL fans behave as passive racists, sitting quietly as their home team quarterback is inept compared to a readily available Kaepernick.
Stupid.
I'm proud of what he's done and I think he's an awesome dude. But he's not an upper echelon quarterback. BUT the Dolphins signed Smokin Jay Cutler out of retirement so Kaepernick is a whole lot better than some starters in the league now. And now I have to politely ignore a bunch of conversations about how much Kaepernick is a spoiled whiner who sucks. I hate everyone.
Yeah...Chargers. I feel that pain. That’s rough man. BTW, watching snippets of the U of M - Wisconsin game. Michigan lost another QB today. A Wisconsin LB used Brandon Peters’ head to tamp down a high spot in the turf as he sacked him. What sign of respect did the Michigan players show to the world as Brandon Peters lay motionless and got carted off the field? They took a knee.
Oh, it'd be tough if I didn't hate the shit out of LA. I mean, Seattle's terrible enough this year but I derive active pleasure in watching the suckfest that is the "Los Angeles" Chargers. Like, they play in this tiny shitty stadium in fucking Carson that, prior to their asses, only existed for soccer and they can't even fill it. Their whole ad campaign is #fightforLA and their color commentators will talk about how they spent a quarter million dollars on a limo so their quarterback wouldn't have to move. The problem is you can't even be a hipster and hate on the Chargers. They're like a heel in wrestling - you're supposed to. What's funny is in LA one of my roommates is from San Diego and the other is from Cleveland so despite knowing hella more about football than I do, they rarely watch it.
