Colin Kaepernick is surrounded by media sycophants, who won’t let go of the ex-NFL social injustice warrior. Every year they complain about Kaepernick not having another opportunity to play in the NFL. They’ll use anything in NFL news cycles they can to make a case for a Kaepernick grievance.
Boston Globe writer Gary Washburn is the latest media hack to do so. He’s using the Aaron Rodgers story to make the case that Kaepernick is being wronged and should be in the NFL. The fact that, within a few days, Aaron Rodgers’ NFL life will resume and Kaepernick’s will not has him steaming mad. Rodgers won’t be able to get vaccinated again, and he will return to active service. People will continue on. He’ll get a pass for his greatness, but Kaepernick will still be shunned for a Less serious offenseWashburn,These are the words:
“What’s more, there are plenty of second and third chances for certain players. Rodgers always will be beloved, never blackballed, never discriminated against, never told a political or social stance, such as his apparent ‘research’ on vaccines, will cost him his status.”
Kaepernick is a man “who truly sacrificed,” but he fails to get an opportunity. He moved on to a controversial Netflix series, while remaining “a symbol of NFL hypocrisy,” Washburn complains. “The NFL will run any player with an average arm who is over 6 feet tall under center unless he’s a black man with a strong opinion, one that held a mirror up to the NFL and because the league didn’t like the reflection, blamed him for offering his constructive criticism, some of which it has actually used to improve over the past five years.”
The Globe’s Kaepernick cheerleader also believes it’s sad that NFL teams are afraid of Kaepernick’s voice, influence on younger teammates and the threat that he could turn his “NFL brethren from robots into thinkers.” The NFL prefers to play “frauds” like Rodgers instead of an SJW who will influence players to focus on their history, culture and heritage. For Kaepernick, that’s meant directing hate at the USA and trashing police officers as “pigs.”
Washburn grumbles at Kaepernick for his talk, kneeling, and legal suit to get him out of the NFL. It seems that the writer is surprised Kaepernick would accuse America of racism and then abandon him for his incendiary views.
Rodgers did not offer an apology for his inability to get vaccine jabs, but he said that he will continue with the football business. As an extraordinary level of injustice, this is to be taken very seriously. Kaepernick, who indicted America for racism just four years before George Floyd’s murder, should be honored.
Washburn’s idyllic NFL would be bold enough to reject Rodgers’ audacity and his sin for questioning the efficacy of vaccines. Forgiving Kaepernick, he spoke truth.Here are some more:
“What was more dangerous? Kaepernick’s message that should have caused a racial awakening if he had not been suppressed? Or Rodgers suggesting vaccination was an ineffective means of combating COVID-19?”
American society just isn’t for people of color. It is a “good ol’ boy network” steeped in prejudice. Those who stay silent, follow orders and conform with corporate America, or the NFL system, are “accepted and allowed to mire in their mediocrity.”
Which is hogwash, because corporate America has totally succumbed to the Black Lives Matter Marxists and unquestionable pressure to vaccinate. There is no real comparing Rodgers’ refusal to take shots or wear a mask in public with a malcontent who led countless athletes astray and a deepening of the American divide. Washburn’s case in indefensible.
