In his Netflix series “Colin in Black & White,” former NFL player/kneeler Colin Kaepernick compared the treatment of players at the NFL combine to slavery. “Coaches will tell you they’re looking for warriors, killers, beasts,” he said. “They say they want you to be an animal out there. And you wanna give them that. … What they don’t want you to understand, is what’s being established is a power dynamic.” As scenes from a slavery auction play out he continues, “Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that might affect...

Colin Kaepernick accuses white adoptive parents of ‘problematic’ upbringing, perpetuating racism Controversial football star Colin Kaepernick accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism in a new interview. The former NFL star told CBS Chicago he struggled growing up in a “problematic” household, a throughline he details in his upcoming graphic novel, “Change the Game.” “I know my parents loved me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through,” Kaepernick said. “It was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home, and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is...

Following her humiliating defeat in Tuesday’s Wyoming primary elections, soon-to-be-former Rep. Liz Cheney gave one of the most comically narcissistic speeches by a politician in recent memory. Despite losing to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman by more than 30 points, Cheney thought it was fitting not only to forecast a potential run for president in 2024 but to do so while comparing herself to former President Abraham Lincoln.

Following her humiliating defeat in Tuesday’s Wyoming primary elections, soon-to-be-former Rep. Liz Cheney gave one of the most comically narcissistic speeches by a politician in recent memory. Despite losing to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman by more than 30 points, Cheney thought it was fitting not only to forecast a potential run for president in 2024 but to do so while comparing herself to former President Abraham Lincoln. “The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all,” she said before an audience of...

Former NFL quarterback and original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick compared the NFL Combine process to a slave auction in Netflix documentary series chronicling his life experiences. In the series Colin In Black & White, which Kaepernick narrates, he appears in a scene where he talks about NFL prospects being “poked, prodded, and examined” for defects before the NFL Draft. The players at the “combine” then leave the NFL field and enter a mid-1800’s slave auction where white landowners examine slaves for purchase. In the scene, Kaepernick says this is how “they” establish a “power dynamic.” The scene closes with the...

It’s important to note, as always, that Kaepernick is not a hero. The former 49ers QB wore pig socks, compared cops to slave catchers, claimed they can murder people with impunity and get paid leave, didn’t stand for the anthem and praised Fidel Castro.

Former NFL quarterback turned social justice grifter Colin Kaepernick compared playing professional football to slavery. He even had a Netflix special in which he invoked the slavery label across the entire National Football League with team owners and coaches being the slavedrivers. One would think that after such a traumatic experience, the last place he’d ever want to work again would be in the NFL. One who thought that would be wrong. “For The past 5 years I’ve been working out and staying ready in case an opportunity to play presented itself. I’m really grateful to my trainer, who I’ve...

National anthem protester and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick posted a video to Twitter showing him training with the caption “still working.” In the video, the woke activist performs a quarterback drill ending with a pass to an unseen receiver. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, a source said Kaepernick is “in the best shape of his life. He wants to play. He’s ready to play. He would be a great fit for teams with QB vacancies to fill who want to win a Super Bowl.” The timing of the video is also conspicuous, considering it comes only six...

'White supremacy cannot be reformed’: Colin Kaepernick says the Rittenhouse verdict ‘validates the need to abolish our current system’ Posted at 6:43 pm on November 20, 2021 by Brett T. We’re still cruising along through the hottest takes on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict. Not surprisingly, Colin Kaepernick blames the systematic racism built into the justice system for letting a white supremacist who committed terroristic acts to go free. We honestly think there needs to be another trial to acquit Rittenhouse of being a white supremacist so he can file libel suits against Kaepernick and Ayanna Pressley and Joe Biden. Where...

Current and former professional athletes slammed Friday's not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial as evidence of a racist America and criminal justice system. The charges against Rittenhouse were first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. The trial, which lasted several weeks and finished with closing arguments on Monday, resulted in the jury on Friday finding Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts after three days of deliberations. Colin Kaepernick, a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, said the result of the trial shows the need for "our current system" to be abolished...

Former NFL player Jack Brewer slammed former NFL player turned left-wing activist Colin Kaepernick during an interview on Monday, saying that Kaepernick’s message to young black men in the U.S. is poison. “This new Colin Kaepernick doctrine that’s penetrating the minds and hearts of so many of our underserved black kids across America is the single largest threat to black men in the United States of America,” Brewer told Fox News. “Because right now, folks are thinking that they’re victims, and they’re living in the most prosperous, the most opportunity, in any country in the world. And so this one...

It’s a mystery for the ages – how a never-was ended up becoming one of the most famous people in the country. This never-was once played professional football and had a couple of decent seasons, even making it to the Super Bowl once. He lost. Then he lost whatever limited ability he once had, fading into the oblivion back-bench players live in on their way out the door. But this was Colin Kaepernick, someone you’ve undoubtedly heard of by now, a guy reduced to finding new and creative ways to keep his name, his brand, alive so that gravy train...

It shouldn’t be news that a man who believes the Fourth of July is a celebration of white supremacy has other ignorant takes on American history. But the left has made a hero out of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, so his effort to compare the NFL draft to slavery in his new Netflix special is noteworthy.

“The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith or anyone else.” “NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that he wishes 'we had listened earlier' to what Colin Kaepernick was trying to bring attention to when he began kneeling for the national anthem in 2016. In an interview with Mike Greenberg for ESPN's The Return of Sports special in June, Goodell said he supports and encourages teams to sign Kaepernick," reported...

Herein lies a glimpse into just what kind of knuckle-draggers the left thinks we are. They think patriotism means we’ll do whatever they say whenever they say it.“Rooting against Olympians, scoffing at Capitol police, broaching civil war — meet today’s conservative movement.”That’s the opening of an article last week at Vox.com. You’ve probably heard of Vox. Their self-proclaimed, self-aggrandizing purpose is to “explain the news.” But when Vox’s condescending reporters start talking about conservatives, Christians, guns, or really anyone outside of a few coastal cities, they have a habit of sounding like Jane Goodall observing apes.So, what’s their qualm now?...

Sports Journalist Jason Whitlock called out “multimillionaire social activist athletes” such as LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick for staying silent about the shooting outside Washington Nationals Park on July 17. On Saturday night, gunshots rang out outside the Washington Nationals ballpark, sending terrified fans running for their lives. You can see the pandemonium for yourself in the video below.

Wherever we turn, race is the issue. Any problem that we face, race must be at the root of it. At least, that’s the way it feels in America these years. Any outcome that we do not like, any narrative that we reject, any person with whom we have a problem – all of it must be traced back to race. This is as dishonest as it is destructive, and if we really care about equality and justice, we had better reevaluate our strategy, and we had better do it quickly. I’m reminded of a humorous story my dad told...

Co-host Max Kellerman suggested Tebow should highlight that Colin Kaepernick hasn't had a chance at a comeback ----------------- ESPN "First Take" host Stephen A. Smith took aim at former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow on Thursday, arguing that "white privilege" was a factor in his NFL comeback at age 33 after years out of the league. Tebow signed a one-year contract this week with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the last several years pursuing a professional baseball career in the New York Mets’ minor league system. During Thursday’s episode of "First Take," Smith said he "had a problem" with the...

Fox Sports host Clay Travis blasted Colin Kaepernick after the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback’s publishing company announced a release date for his new book calling for police and prison abolition. Kaepernick’s book “Abolition For The People: The Movement For A Future Without Policing & Prisons” is set to be released in October.

Jimmy Smith, one of the best players to ever play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, said Wednesday that when it comes down to Colin Kaepernick or Tim Tebow, the team needs the latter. Smith told TMZ Sports he feared someone like Kaepernick would divide the locker room. "We don't need Colin Kaepernick on our team," the former NFL great said. "We need a guy like Tim Tebow who's a hometown hero who has love for the city anyway," Smith added. Smith denied there were any racial connotations behind the Jaguars’ reported decision to work out Tebow and then potentially give him...
