Green Bay Packers Fans Will Revolt If The Team Signs Colin Kaepernick
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/16/2017 | David Hookstead

Posted on 10/16/2017 9:13:14 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

The state of Wisconsin might burn to the ground if the Green Bay Packers sign Colin Kaepernick to replace injured Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is probably out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, and the worst thing the organization could do is bring in Kaepernick. Giving him a workout alone will cause fans to freak out.

I grew up in Wisconsin, everybody I know back home is a huge fan and some of them even own part of the team. There wasn’t a single one of them that was in favor of giving Kaepernick a look.

“I will never watch a game the rest of my life,” one person I’m close with who is a massive fan responded when I asked about the speculation the team might be interested in the former 49ers quarterback.

Some other people told me much worse things that I could never publish on the internet.

I threw out a poll to my Twitter followers on what the Packers should do, and nearly 80 percent of voters want nothing to do with Kap.

" Should the Green Bay Packers sign Colin Kapernick following Aaron Rodgers breaking his collarbone, and potentially done for the season? "

The people of Wisconsin and the Green Bay Packers fans in general are not fans of protesting the national anthem, disrespecting America, wearing socks that depict cops as pigs or athletes who celebrate murderous dictators. Kaepernick has done all of those things.

Packers fans are people who work their 40 hours a week, like having a few beers over the weekend and are fiercely patriotic.

There will be a full on revolution in the state if the Packers ink a deal with Kaepernick. You think viewership is already going down? You will have never seen anything like will happen if the organization’s management team makes the decision to extend an offer to Kaepernick.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers,...

August 30, 2016
FoxNews.com

'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader [communist] Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, communist-revolutionary JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Hoyer from SF could be available. He stinks with a losing team. Will that starting QB be available for the playoffs?

I was a 50 year Packer fan. I stopped watching even before they joined the SJW stupidity.

Uh, with his performance the last time he played? Uh, waste of money if they’re stoopid enough to do it. The owners (fans) will not be pleased.

Of all the teams, there are four to watch:
GB because it’s the only game in town and has a rich history; the Dallas Cowboys cuz the Jerry Jones fluctuations; the NE Patriots because they have a strong fan base and are simply the best team of the 21st century; and the KC Chiefs, who are not only very hot now but are “middle America.”

If the Pack signs Colon Cancer, their fan base will destroy the team.

And can you imagine the response if the Packers or any team hired him, it did’t work out and they had to release him? That team would face nonstop accusations of racism and continuous protests at their home offices. He’s not worth the baggage he brings with him.

“Nobody wants to hang with a Kaepernadick”

The NFL Kneelers don’t want Cupcake Kaepernick and his BLM manager’s War on Cops to eclipse their War on Trump’s America.

It would be better if the Packers went with the second string quarterback. I remember when what’s his name was quarterback for the Patriots and was injured. The Patriots went to their bench and put Tom Brady into the game.

The Pack will sign Johnny Manziel before they sign Kaepernick.

Given his lawsuit he just filed the Packers would have to require that he drop the suit and not re-file as a condition of hire. Better choice is to not hire.

I live in Wisconsin and never miss a Packer game. Now, I’d rather watch a patriotic college or high school team play than the ignorant and over-paid idiots in the NFL who don’t respect America, the troops, the police and other first responders.

And they'd probably sign Romo before Johnny Retirement.

Just what I need — another reason to dislike the Packers!

(No offense, Cheeseheads. I’m a long-suffering Lions ‘fan’...)

sign him up, give him a chance to play, after two years on no live action he will have his head handed to him and it will stop this crap.
