Colin Kaepernick’s anti-American anthem protests were a stain on the NFL.
They served as a tipping point where the sports world became over-politicized.
And Colin Kaepernick found out some news about his future that will leave you red with rage.
Kaepernick the revolutionary
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick became a folk hero on the Left when he kneeled during the “Star-Spangled Banner” throughout the 2016 NFL season.
Kaepernick claimed that his protest was against police brutality.
Players around the league—even athletes in other sports—began copying Kaepernick’s protest.
Liberal media outlets showered Kaepernick with praise, and turned him into a revolutionary figure.
The NFL eventually caved and earmarked $89 million to players’ social justice causes.
But that was not enough for Kaepernick, who was out of the league by that point.
His career got off to a hot start when he led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance in his second season, but his play deteriorated each year.
Kaepernick ended the 2016 season 1-10 as a starter, and the 49ers finished 2-14.
Since then, Kaepernick has failed to latch onto a team.
His diminished play in conjunction with his distraction as a far-left activist have made him radioactive.
Kaepernick did not help his cause when he insulted teams that considered signing him, but ultimately passed.
But Kaepernick could get back in the NFL in an unexpected way.
Coaching job offer
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who drafted Kaepernick in 2011 when he was the head coach of the 49ers, offered Kaepernick a coaching position on his staff.
Harbaugh told USA TODAY Sports, “If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous. . .He’d be a tremendous coach, if that’s the path he chose.”
Kaepernick has not played football in seven seasons, but he claims he’s determined to get back in the NFL.
Harbaugh continued, “Yeah, we talked a little bit about it. . .He’s considering it. He was out of the country. He said he was going to get back to me. We haven’t reconnected since then. That was early, early in the year.”
Each year, Kaepernick goes through the charade of posting workout videos that are supposed to serve as proof that he can still play.
He recently told Sky Sports News, “We’re still training, still pushing. . .So hopefully. We’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up. . .It’s something I’ve trained my whole life for, so to be able to step back on the field, I think that would be a major moment, a major accomplishment for me. I think I could bring a lot to a team and help them win a championship.”
Former Raiders and Browns head coach Hue Jackson organized a private workout for Kaepernick back in 2019, but Kaepernick blew it off, and instead worked out in front of the press at a different location.
In Kaepernick’s Netflix series, he compared the NFL draft combine to a slave auction.
Needless to say, Kaepernick has become his own worst enemy if he truly wants to get back into the league.
