First a bit of history from 'Puter writing at The Gormogons:
Shut Up and Play
Rule 1: Americans don’t like being lectured.
Rule 1 is the only hard and fast rule applicable to all Americans. Think about it. What other generalization can you make that covers the trailer park junkie in rural West Virginia, the inner city gang member dodging bullets in Chicago, smug, liberal, bubble-dwelling Ivy League professors, and richer-than-Croesus captains of industry?
‘Puter can almost hear his three loyal readers crying out, “So what, ‘Puter?”
Here’s what. Professional sports decided to violate Rule 1 and are paying the price.
It started innocently enough. Colin Kaepernick started dating a hard Left, socialist, “activist and radio DJ.” As one might imagine, her politics are a bit to the Left of America’s in general. Kaepernick fell under the seductive spell of politics and pussy (mostly the latter), grew out his hair, and decided to stick it to Whitey T. Mann at his place of employment by refusing to stand during our national anthem.
As with all things political now, a third of the country screamed “YEAH! STIK IT 2 DEM RAYCISS BASTIDS!!!,” a third of the country screamed “BUTT MUH FLAGS!!!,” and a third of the country screamed, “WOOD U ASSHATS LEEV UR POLITIX OUTTA MUH FUTBAL??!?”
More on Kaepernick's bae here and here - as they say, read the whole thing. 'Puter is a hoot.
Second, from The Washington Times:
Colin Kaepernick donated $25,000 to group honoring convicted cop-killer
Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.
The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago “direct action” resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.
Taking bets on how fast Nessa dumps his sorry a** after #1) - his money runs out or #2) - he wises up and stops using athletics as a stage for someone else's political activism.
