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.

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.
Aren’t the Packers owned by the fans/ City of Green Bay?
Seems like they would have some sway over the front office...
Tebow kneeled on the field for a Christian reason, and the sport media howled in condemnation.
One of the current batch of jackasses kneel for a different reason, and the Sports Media grovel in support and adulation.
Go figure.
Don’t think I believe this. People boo those that protest at the games yet don’t do what it takes to make an impact - that is, stay away from the game, stop spending your money. CK throws a TD pass and all will love him.
They still have fans? What losers.
Please do it! Try this stunt and the BLM/NFL thug league in OVER!! Go for it!!
Oh please sign him. Go ahead, make my day.
Our back-up QB isn’t half bad. No WAY will they sign CK. No. Way.

I SO hope the Packers sign the Magic Kneegro.
Exchange a proven leader for a locker room drama queen. What could go wrong?
Brett Hundley is #2 behind Rodgers as Packer QB. He’s 24 years old and has spent a year on the Packers bench. He’s from UCLA and is black. It’s very clear the Packers like him a lot.
CK is not going to accept a backup role, nor would that be acceptable to the effeminate sports writers.
Glory days there, buddy.
For sure!!!
