Pro Football is Slavery!
« on: October 31, 2021, 08:12:55 AM »
Colin Kaepernick compares football to slavery in his Netflix special:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1454561312990715904

People who make millions of dollars and are free to come and go are slaves. How would he compare this to military service, where people are "poked and prodded" a whole lot more for a whole lot less money? Also, nobody but black people plays football?

Call it internet outrage on my part, but his attitude in this video is just sickening to me. He apparently produced this together with his wacko girlfriend. It about makes me want to cancel my Netflix subscription for them working with him on this racist crybaby crap.

I'm actually not sure what recent video I have seen is worse - this one or that Twix commercial. Either way, it certainly pushes me more to RKL's line of thinking on wishing SMOD would just wipe us all out and be done with it.

Kaepernick is an attention seeking baby.  He knows he is a failure at football, so he is trying to get attention anyway he can.

He is just another version of Greta Thunberg or David Hogg; a willing puppet being used by someone else.

Probably not.  He used to get an asswhupping every time he played football.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

People vote with their feet.

And while there are legions of POC traipsing across the globe to get here . . . almost none that are already here (including Kaepernik) are trying to relocate to their ancestral homelands.

He should go back to the Fatherland:

https://www.ancientfaces.com/surname/kaepernick-family-history/1435093

Summary
One famous member of the Kaepernick family is Colin Rand Kaepernick, quarterback for the football team the San Francisco 49ers (see more under "famous people named Kaepernick" below or on the Colin Kaepernick page).  According to one source, the surname Kaepernick could be derived from or related to the surname Copernicus.  According to Kaepernick family researchers, the family seems to have originated in Germany and members of the family have emigrated to both the United States and Australia - although there may be other branches of the Kaepernick family in other parts of the world. Wilhelm Kaepernick (from Prussia) and H. Kaepernick (from Germany) emigrated to the United States in the 1860's.  There are many spelling variations of the surname Kaepernick, some of which are Kapernick (in Germany, with an umlaut over the "a), Kabernick, Kacbernick, Kpernick, Keibernick, Kepernick, and Koopernick.

Yeah, and nobody in the MSM and wherever bats an eye that pumpernickel shills for a company that makes their profits thanks to CCP slave labor.

Kaepernick Starts Underground Railroad To Help Other NFL Stars Escape To Freedom
https://babylonbee.com/news/kaepernick-starts-underground-railroad-to-help-other-nfl-stars-escape-to-freedom

Quote
Kaepernick is already sneaking into NFL practices across the country and beckoning NFL players to leave the game forever and taste freedom for the first time as a factory worker, accountant, or professional social justice grifter.

"Come! Follow me!" he cried out to Tom Brady and his team at a Tampa Bay practice. "I know you think you're happy and wealthy and doing something you love, but that's false consciousness! You're actually slaves! Come be sad and angry with meeeee!"

I suppose racism is the only explanation he hasn't been allowed to return to slavery

Dude has no one to blame but himself.

No one has come calling because the weight of his personal baggage will inevitably drag down any team that is foolish enough to sign him.

He and his buds can scream racist collusion all they want, but they know it rings hollow as every team in the league has, and continues to, extend lucrative contracts to African American players who have substantially less personal baggage.

They float.

Kapernick sinks.

Kappernick doesn't want to get back in the NFL.  He just says and does all this to stir up controversy.  He has been offered contracts to get back in and turned them all down.  He had almost every NFL team ready to watch him try out then he canceled at the last second and moved it to an alternate location.  He is just stirring things up and Nike is paying him to do it.

"He has been offered contracts to get back in and turned them all down"

Uhm... no, he hasn't been. He's not been offered a single contract.

The Seahawks were, I believe, the only team to bring him in for a look.

Yes, he moved his combine at the last minute after objecting to some of the conditions. There were 7 teams at the revised combine, and none were interested in him.

He and his supporters have claimed it's collusion on the part of the league and the owners. Given that the NFL settled with him over his lawsuit on that front, there may have been something to that... or there may have been nothing at all and it was settled just to keep it from being another huge Kaperdistraction.

He wasn't a particularly good quarterback during his time in San Francisco, and it's likely that the 49ers would have been cutting him even had he not opted out of the last year of his contract.

He had one good year -- 2013 -- and every year after that was mediocre, at best.

Even with mediocre numbers he should have been able to easily find at least a back up position in the league. That he never has speaks volumes about teams' willingness to put up with the monumental amounts of distraction he provides.

Jets File Restraining Order Against Colin Kaepernick
https://babylonbee.com/news/jets-get-restraining-order-against-colin-kaepernick

Quote
NEW YORK, NY — Following the season-ending Achilles tendon injury suffered by star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets have been forced to file for a restraining order against former NFL player Colin Kaepernick to protect the team from his unwanted advances.

"No means no," said Jets General Manager Joe Douglas. "You'd think the guy would take a hint after a while, but we eventually had to take legal action to make him give us some space. We're not interested, dude. Please stop asking."
