Colin Kaepernick – Blackballed or Washed Up?
Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall was very blunt regarding his opinion on the NFL and Colin Kaepernick: (Denver Post):
"Quarterbacks are usually the face of the franchise. So, he’s probably being blackballed,†Marshall said Tuesday. "Maybe part of it is owners don’t want their franchise tagged with that. But I still stand by what I said (on Twitter), that he’s the best quarterback in free agency. He’s better than all of those that got signed, the Matt Barkleys, the Nick Foleses. I think that’s a fair assessment, honestly.â€
Brandon Marshall is a very good linebacker, but he really should stick to his day job, analysis seems out of his grasp.
Last year, Colin Kaepernick made the personal choice to kneel during the playing of our National Anthem. His stated reasons were to protest police brutality and the oppression of minorities everywhere. The public outrage was immediate and intense, lighting up social media and call in radio shows. Following the season, he’s made headlines again: (Sportschew.com):
Unfortunately, Colin has made headlines again more recently, but for all the wrong reasons. First, it was found out that he didn’t vote in this year’s election after preaching that everyone should do their part to produce change in the country. It was later discovered that he isn’t even registered to vote. His excuse was that it didn’t really matter who he voted for because the "whole system is oppressiveâ€. And most recently, he’s been getting a lot of attention for wearing a shirt with Fidel Castro on it just 2 days after he died. What’s worse is that he did it while his team played in Miami, a city that has a very big Cuban population. When asked why he chose to wear the shirt, he said that he agreed with Castro’s stance on investing in education, universal healthcare and helping to end the apartheid in South Africa. He never once mentioned Castro’s heinous acts of oppression against his own people. How can he be against oppression and support an oppressor at the same time?
Kaepernick’s 2016 season was decidedly sub-par
