Many people missed this…
Colin Kaepernick abruptly canceled the workout the NFL scheduled for him Saturday, and instead worked out at a local Atlanta high school wearing a shirt comparing himself to a slave.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has not played since the end of the 2016 season, the same season he began protesting against the country as the national anthem played. But his exclusion from pro football has been a focus of attention as supporters claim he has been “blackballed” from the league for his extreme, left-wing activism.
Colin Kaepernick, who has made tens of millions of dollars playing football, showed up for his NFL workout with a film crew in a Kunta Kinte shirt, equating himself with the slave from Roots. I honestly believe he doesn’t want a job, he wants to remain a victim & woke SJW martyr. pic.twitter.com/sjFpo1NaIw

Finally, last week, the NFL announced that it had scheduled a workout for Kaepernick so that the league could get a look to see if he has remained at peak playing form during this three-year absence from the field.
However, while initially welcomed by Kaepernick, communications about the plans for the workout grew tense between the player and the league. Ultimately, Kaepernick canceled the workout only a half-hour before it was scheduled, reportedly because he was barred from bringing his own film crew.
Instead of attending the workout the NFL had planned, Kaepernick performed a workout of his own at a local Atlanta high school. But as he took the field at Charles Drew High School in Riverdale, the millionaire player was seen wearing a shirt with the name “Kunta Kinte” emblazoned across it.
Kunta Kinte is, of course, the famous slave character from the book Roots.

It is easy to speculate that Kaepernick intended to wear this shirt even if he attended the NFL workout. After all, it is not likely he could have had such a shirt made in the hour before the NFL event that he suddenly decided not to attend.
In any case, this is far from the first time that the infamous anthem protester has worn clothing with an eyebrow-raising, left-wing theme.
In 2016, for instance, Kaepernick wore a shirt praising Cuban dictator and mass murderer Fidel Castro. Kaepernick also wore socks that portrayed police officers as pigs that same year.
Also in 2016, Kaepernick said that the U.S. was never great, noting that he was standing up against the whole country in general, not just against “racism,” with his anthem protests.
With the weekend’s fiasco complete, multi-millionaire Colin Kaepernick continues to portray himself as a victim.

I think we treat him consistent with his actions. Send him away with a note that says, “Colin doesn’t play well with others. Colin is disruptive in class and is disrespectful of other students, his teachers and other people in general.”
dumb ass nigger!!!
Colton Kaepernick , needs to grow the HELL UP ! And quit being a WORTHLESS S.O.B. and cry BABY.!
He’s is as WORTHLESS as yesterday’s BOXER SHORTS. IF, I were a TEAM OWNER I sure the HELL would not give that CRY BABY a JOB. IF he wants to play FOOTBALL let him play in a different COUNTRY not the United States of America ! WE THE PEOPLE don’t own him nothing and WE THE PEOPLE need to BOYCOTT him in everything thing he does and everything he will do in the FUTURE.
screw him and ignore his antics—-the NFL needs to kiss his ass goodbye once and for all!
he isnt worthy of playing football or any sport with any team. he is damaged goods now.
He isnt worth anything to any team. He keeps proving it over and over. He is damaged goods and the NFL needs to get over it and tell him good bye forever. Enough is enough he isnt worth the bs he brings with him.
send him home to never be heard from again.a complete idiot,all he wantsis attention.Stop playing his games,because he’s finished in the NFL forever>Anybody that would hire him would loose 50% of its fan base.
This scumbag should be committed to an insane facility until he learns to function in a society as a normal human being.
He’s clearly a Danger to himself and Others.
He is a legend in his own mind.
He is a jerk and lost his job because of his own mental health issues and has no one to blame but himself. I have absolutely no sympathy for him. He seemed like such a nice guy, family oriented, and caring about kids until he suddenly switched and started disrespecting American. If this is such a horrible country, why doesn’t he go back to his biological family home? He was so lucky to be adopted by a loving family that gave him every opportunity any kid could hope for along with supporting his choices and instead of being grateful he has basically hurt them beyond any thing that I could ever imagine. It is like he has been brainwashed by some organization and the money that he made has totally destroyed him.
Personally, I do not think that the NFL should give him another chance. If he wanted to return to the NFL, he would have gone to the practice and done the job that he was invited to show he could do. He does not deserve another chance and I do not know anyone with any respect for him as a person. Like I said, he did it to himself!
