The world's most famous grill maker just grilled two of today's most famous athletes.
George Foreman took down Colin Kaepernick and Kevin Durant on a podcast Monday, saying neither the football nor basketball star is patriotic. Foreman, 68, spoke out on the "Offended America" podcast, offering that those who refuse to stand for the national anthem, like Kaepernick, are just looking for attention.

Good for George! I sure enjoyed him on “Better Late Than Never”. He seems like a good guy.
George started reading the Bible many, many years ago.
Hope he’s still active.
Whothehell is Kevin Durant?
Great man, great grill.
some black guy that’s paid gazillions to bounce a ball and shoot it through a hoop.
I think Jim Brown likes Trump as well. I hope he comes out for Trump too.
But we all know they will call them House N’s or Uncle Tom’s.
George Edward Foreman (born January 10, 1949) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1969 to 1977, and from 1987 to 1997. Nicknamed "Big George", he is a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Outside the sport he is an ordained minister, author, and entrepreneur.
George is not afraid to contradict the Pity Party.
Would have been nice had George spoken up sooner, but he’s a private citizen and that’s not his job.
Foreman has not forgotten Trump helping him out in 1991.
A lot of today’s RINO’s and NeverTrumps have already forgotten friendly times with Donald Trump during the “Apprentice” years.
He's always been one of the good guys.
Also known as the hardest hitter in boxing.
He’s an ordained minister
I watched the Rumble in the Jungle. 1974, via satellite to a movie theater, what a fight. 8 rounds of raw power from Ali and Forman. Incredibly!
Ali wins by KO. But Forman pummeled Ali as Ali introduced the rope-a-dope. Good possibility the neurological damage Ali suffered was caused by George Forman pummeling Ali against the ropes. Many good shots to the head, though mostly body shots.
Great freaking fight.
Yup, and he said the guy that hit HIM the hardest, was George Chuvalo. Chuvalo said that Smoke’n Joe Frazier had the hardest punch. (I am reading Chuvalo’s autobiography now)
>>He’s always been one of the good guys.<<
Quick test: how to tell how you know someone is a liberal:
A: No sense of humor. They might use cynicism as a substitute but they don’t really ENJOY anything since their hearts are black.
Foreman has always had and shares a joie de vivre
I don’t know if he is a conservative but no way is he a liberal/
[Outside the sport he is an ordained minister]
Yep!
Yes, I remember him talking about his church.
Chuvalo said that Smoke’n Joe Frazier had the hardest punch. (I am reading Chuvalo’s autobiography now)<<
Ali himself said that he hit Frazier with his hardest shot and Frazier shook his head and smiled.
Again, IIRC, Ali said something like “that was the biggest moment of fear I ever felt in my life.”

Cleared cookies out of OPERA and google search would not let me sign in. Switched to Camino and am in FR if this post work.
Google shunts conservatives to siberia if they don’t like where we are going.
George is an Uncle Tom, kowtowing to white capitalists! My George Foreman Grill is heading for the trash can!!
Just kidding! George is a great American and a brother in the Lord!
