Colin Kaepernick Is Stealing From His Boss



Thank you Colin Kaepernick, we're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's very hard to pronounce. Like the few combat veterans, including my fellow Green Beret vet Nate Boyer, who stood by Colin at the pre-season game Thursday evening, I did indeed risk my life for people’s right to express their opinions freely and stand up for what they believe in. However, I respectfully disagree with each of them who are standing by Kaepernick and justifying his stand based solely on freedom of speech. Freedom Is not free. It was paid for with the blood of patriots. Scoring a touchdown does not make you a hero. Getting shot and killed in the cause of freedom does. That includes blood spilled by cops and soldiers alike.
There are a number of factors at play in this that have not been mentioned. Colin Kaepernick has a fiduciary responsibility to the fans of the San Francisco 49ers who spend hundreds of dollars just to attend games. He also owes that fiscal loyalty to the corporation he works for, the 49ers. If Colin Kaepernick was an athlete in the manner of Serena Williams, it would be different. Serena competes in tennis tournaments as a major superstar athlete, and frankly is a whole lot more fun to watch than Colin. If she wants to make a statement about law enforcement professionals or racism in America, she only hurts herself in the pocketbook. Kaepernick, on the other hand, plays in a team sport and any protestations such as what he is doing, hurts fellow team-mates, many of whom do not feel the way he does at all, however, knowing it is a team sport many stay silent, as he displays his tantrums, as they are each professionals who take that position seriously and want to conduct themselves as loyal “team players.” Colin is providing an enormous distraction in a business where the focus is supposed to be on the group, not the individual. Any team mate or NFL player who joins his attention-getting distraction is, in effect stealing from their employer, as well. Colin Kaepernick is paid well over one and a half million dollars per month. Think about that and what most people are expected to do who make over $19,000,000 per year. In order to make a team function correctly, please its fan base spending hard-earned money on him, and as a quarterback be a team leader concentrating on the one most important thing in pro football, winning, a player must be all in for the team, not for himself.

Colin is not P.C. He is P.W. His broadcaster girlfriend is a spokesperson for Black Lives Matter, a racist hate group, who advocates for the murder of police officers. She is also a Muslim and Colin is too converting, according to his closest friends and family. President Barack Obama was elected as the first black President in America and is the biggest apologist for radical Muslims in the public eye. Despite not being elected to our nation’s highest office without the major support of white voters, Barack Obama has set race relations back in America for decades by the old democratic mantra of making black Americans feel like they are victims, turning many into whiners and not winners. Colin grew up with a white family and white mother, just like Barack Obama. He was a child of privilege, who attended white private schools and never spent a day in his life in the ghetto. Any and every NFL fan who has to put up with the disgust, disrespect, and distraction of Colin Kaepernick refusing to honor our nation’s symbols, and any NFL players mimicking his actions, should write down the name of every NFL sponsor and write them, call them, boycott their products, and raise hell until this nonsense stops. In a team business, a team sport, it is never about “Me,” but always about “We.” NFL coaches, you have a responsibility, too. Remind players in no uncertain terms that our freedom to speak and demonstrate comes with responsibilities too. One of the first in the NFL is loyalty to your team before your personal agendas, even if one is trying to please your outspoken girlfriend.
