Kaeperhack
I’m not sure if you guys heard, but there was an election this past Tuesday! It was a pretty big one too, deciding who would take over for Barack Obama as the president of the United States.
Now you’d think that a lot of people would be turning out to vote, especially those who really care about the rampant social ills and inequities that continue to plague our country, right? That Colin Kaepernick, he of the brave national anthem-kneeling protest, he must have had some strong opinions about this election!
Wait, what’s that? He didn’t vote? He doesn’t think either candidate will change “a system that oppresses people of color?” He admitted that he “really didn’t pay too close of attention” to the election? Surprise everybody, Colin Kaepernick is an idiot and a hypocrite who doesn’t know what the hell is talking about.
You know what, I used to be a firm defender of his protest because I believe in the right to stand up and fight for what you think is right, but are we entirely sure that he didn’t just do it to garner up some media attention as he faced exile to the end of the bench? If that’s the case, let’s add selfish race-baiter to his resume!
Well at least I can take solace in the fact that he has to live with the fact that he’s a backup quarterback. Wait, what’s that? He just threw for 398 yards? Typical, there’s no justice in the world.
See You in 2017
