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.

I would add a fifth team: the NY Jets. They have had few players — if any — kneeling for the national anthem. The owner of the team is Robert Wood Johnson, who was appointed by President Trump to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.

Oh, and one more reason: if a team signs him they won't be able to get rid of him. They will be condemned as racist, racist, racist!

Not that it really matters, but the current backup is a Black man. How would it look to the SJWs if the Packers tossed him to the curb?

"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."

An excellent point that bears repeating!

Harvey Weinstein will be playing quarterback in the NFL before Kaepernick ever puts on an NFL jersey again.

I wish I could boycott, but I haven’t watched since Johnny U was at Baltimore.

Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!

Or the Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!

Since Rogers just two weeks ago was so smart@$$ vocal about the rights of players to demonstrate any way they please....what if this broken collarbone is a farce? What if Rogers took a dive, to open the door for Krappydick to be given a job? Stranger things than THAT have happened.

"Who cares."

The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.

The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.

Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

Percy Bysshe Shelley

This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!

ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!

They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.

This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.

All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.

The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.

We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.

They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"

The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.

The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".

We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.

Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.

We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!

Do the Packer stockholders have any voting rights or influence other than choosing whether or not to own stock?

I was a Bengals fan when the team went to Green Bay in like 1992. Thought it would be an easy win when Green Bay’s starting QB was injured early in the game. Instead, the Pack put in their second stringer and he kicked our butts.

That QB’s name? Brett Favre.

Not really.

That’s why the America-hating sports talkers are trying to stampede the Packers into Colin Cancer; they don’t have a ‘tyrannical’ owner but have only Dilbert executives that can be bamboozled. Or so they think.

At least he will have a team so he can put his knee down on the ice. I’ve always wondered, if the fans, who own a vast majority of the stadium seats, decide they want to rebel on a player, could they just not show up or come armed with snowballs?

I really believe football is on its way out even before all this. All the injuries, and the NFLPA and/or former players are going to sue the league out of existence over concussions. They keep changing the rules to try and protect players and now it is unwatchable. Pretty soon it will just be the NFFL-National Flag Football League.

I'd rather watch the Lingerie Football League, or Golf. To be fair, I actually prefer hockey.

Aaron Rogers is already filling the role for anti-American cheerleader and he’s a far better QB to boot.
