SANTA CLARA, Ca. -- Forty Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly and knowingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the National Anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.
His latest refusal to stand for the Anthem -- he has done this in at least one other preseason game -- came before the 49ers preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi's Stadium.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game against Green Bay. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately.”

After having his worst season Kaepernick was benched for Blaine Gabbert. But the 49ers hired Chip Kelly, which people felt would appease Kaepernick’s unhappiness in San Francisco. Kelly’s option spread offense is perfect for Kaepernick’s ability. However Kaepernick didn’t like the hiring, and instantly demanded a trade. But the 49ers kept his roster spot and didn’t trade the 5 year NFL vet. So Kaepernick abandoned San Francisco, left the country, and pledged his loyalty to Al Qaeda. The picture below show Kaepernick at an Al Qaeda training camp.
An anonymous member of the terrorist cell told the Associated Press, “Colin will now go by Raheem Abdul Atif. Unlike the 49ers we plan on using his abilities to the maximum for our network. His running ability is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. He’s also elusive, so when authorities try to arrest him he can juke his way out of the problem. And his arm strength is better than any terrorist in the world. Do you know how far he can throw a bomb…very far. I’d be very scared to see him in the open desert. Raheem will be unstoppable.”
As expected the NFL was completely shocked by the news. Roger Goodell issued this statement:
“We’re very sadden to learn that Colin has turned his back on not only the NFL, but also America. However, if he does return from the Middle East he should expect a $100,000 dollar fine.” http://www.totalprosports.com/2016/0...join-al-qaeda/
I certainly am not reading all of this (i'm really too busy laughing at the video at the top of the story), but sounds like he's going to be back in the news...

This is so laughable. He was sidelined because he sucked and refused a backup job on more than one occasion. Which is why his settlement was a paltry sum. [Reply]
Guess who's about to get cancelled over Kaepernick?
Spoiler!

I remember some idiots here claiming he was getting $25 million, $50 million, $100 million or more.
I KNEW how much he was getting as I had inside info.

Going through lines, going through the preparation, and then also being on set and having to have my lines ready, having to hit my marks, trying to bring out different emotions, different tones, different deliveries. [It] really felt natural to me. I just didn’t have to dodge any 300-pound lineman while doing it.”
