One man who made a difference |
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe that Colin Kaepernick is not currently on a National Football League team roster because he's no longer the player he once was. There are at least four to five starting quarterbacks in the NFL (including the starting QB for Kaepernick's former team, the 49ers) right now that are not as good as Kaepernick, and that's not even counting the thirty-two for the most part no name backup quarterbacks employed in the NFL.
And it begs the question: what would you be willing to give up to take a knee for your beliefs?
Granted, Kaepernick signed a very lucrative contract a few years back and likely isn't going to be homeless any time soon. Still, he spent a lifetime preparing to become an NFL player, realized his dream, and then lost his dream because he had the courage to stand up for his beliefs, the courage to say that African-Americans deserve better than they are receiving from their country and its leaders.
He started a movement, one that's making America and Americans better.
And that's a hell of a lot more than one can say about that son of a bitch Donald Trump and his minions.
Fuck Donald Trump,
