Why, why, why, is Kaepernick still getting air time? I'm convinced it's just so the news outlets can prove they know how to spell his name. If they really want me to pay attention, they need to start finding new and interesting ways to misspell his name. Throw a few Kaeperninski's or Kaeperachoo's in the crawl and I'll sit up.
What is his endgame here? Is he hoping to introduce moral responsibility to the NFL? Yeah, right. American football has already sold it's soul. The list of moral transgressions they don't give a shit about is endless. Hell, they'll help you protect a child rapist as long as you keep winning games. They'll even honor you at Homecoming.
I'm also not impressed with his choice of civil disobedience. All he's doing is sitting on his ass. I can do that. He's not even sitting out the entire game. He's sitting out for 1.31 minutes. He is risking nothing. NOTHING. He's worth millions. His latest contract is worth millions. If they fire him, they'll have to pay him millions and another team will pick him up for more millions. His sponsors aren't going to drop him because he's "standing by his beliefs" and he's getting more press. Wow, Kaepeppernut, you're so brave! Move over, Rosa.
And you know what my biggest problem is with this publicity stunt? I don't believe him. I don't for a minute think he believes that black lives matter. He believes that some black lives matter. Otherwise he'd be sitting on his ass and refusing to play with or against the players who beat the shit out of their wives, or girlfriends or kids. Oh, but wait, that's asking a lot so maybe just the ones we've seen ON TAPE. I guess those lives don't matter.
So fuck off, Kaepernicus, and go back to throwing your little ball around. You're not a role model.
