Colin Kaepernick is the young wealthy (6 years – $128 million) quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers who last week prior to a preseason game decided to sit down during the playing of the National Anthem, saying, ” I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” Hmmmmm. Guess he overlooked the fact that his bi-racial parents were unwilling to raise him, giving him up for adoption to a supportive white family. Oops, and did I mention that he received a free college education in exchange for playing football ?
Well, Colin certainly does have first amendment rights, but aren’t there more constructive ways for an individual in the public eye to express opinions, or better yet, do something about the injustice he lazily comments on while he sits on his fanny ? In Bill O’Reilly’s lingo, Colin clearly comes down as a pinhead and not a patriot. WHAT THE HECK !
