Colin Kaepernick III

Sorry everyone, but Kaepernick is basically impossible to ignore. Even if you've talked about him as much I have lately. In that way, he has won. He's brought attention to himself and to his causes. 

In every other way, he has lost. The final straw for people-even liberals and those who agree with him!-is the news coming out now that he refused to vote because "it wouldn't have counted." Oh Colin, once again your naivety and ignorance is speaking volumes. Perhaps if Colin visited places in the world where votes truly don't count he'd change his mind. So often the left accuses the right of being insular and and cut off from the real world, but in reality it's the total opposite. Kapernick is very willing to critique his country, but he is not able to apply the same level of critique to himself. 

And now that dumbass was talking about Castro and how Castro did things "for the people" of Cuba. He was praising Castro from the comfort a country that gives Kapernick the freedoms that he'd never have in Cuba. Is Kapernick a coward? No, but he is a naive. 

In a way, Donald Trump should thank Kaepernick. It's because of people like Colin that Hillary Clinton lost. A large amount of people in the world are very tired of social justice warriors and those who enable them. This election was many things, but it was a reputation of what those people stand for. The establishment enabled them-but the establishment forget that the people who pay the bills and buy tickets to NFL games matter too. I'm not saying that Kaepernick shouldn't be allowed to protest-not at all. But just because he is allowed to protest doesn't mean he is allowed to pick the consequences of his protest.
