Colin is getting plenty of backlash and support for his protest, but many NFL executives are telling the Bleacher Report they just aren’t here for the movement.

49’ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick recently decided not to stand for the American national anthem in a show of protest during a pre-season game and has been facing backlash in the media ever since. From supporters of his stance to others questioning his racial identity, the quarterback has heard it all. Now, reports of backlash from un-named members of the NFL front offices are coming in. One member of the front office went on to call Kaepernick a traitor, saying “I don’t want him anywhere near my team. He’s a traitor.” Another team executive said, “He has no respect for our country, f*ck that guy.”
Wow. I hope black people sit up and take notice that their services are only required and accepted when they’re docile and shucking and jiving without causing waves. The minute you exercise your rights like every American then you become a problem. It’s astounding to e that he’s apparently lost sponsorships from 3 companies because of this.
Do you know which companies dropped him? I need to add them to my boycott list.
I just did some research and found out Beats by Dr. Dre won’t confirm or deny if he’s still representing their brand. And EA which does Madden sports declined to comment about Colin being featured in future commercials for their brand. There’s talk within the company of possibly dropping him. I can’t remember the name of the last company.
So…time to boycott the NFL? Cool.
I’m down.
Now see I was waiting on them to jump stupid. I guess me and hubby will just stick to the NBA from now on.
Oh yeah sis, it’s been time. I hope more athletes wake up and see what’s going on. These people do not want things to change. We can’t keep supporting their businesses.
*rolls syes* The NFL is a bad place for black men any damn way. Actually, it’s just a bad profession to go in because your brain and body get so damaged after just a few years of playing that the money isn’t even worth it in the end. Basketball is better. Hell, track and field too.
I still don’t understand how people are spinning this into him being anti-American and anti-military. They don’t even have this much compassion for vets in real life. They only use vets to shut up black activists. I’m over it. Now I can really understand why Marshawn got the hell on the way he did.
Marshawn is bae!! They thought he was dumb but he outsmarted all of them in the end and I love it!!
Man f-ck those racist pieces of sh-t. It goes to show you the original racists – rich white a-sholes, still ain’t sh-t and ain’t gonna ever be sh-t. They know damn well they are more f-cked up than Colin will ever be. They got men out here risking their lives for a damn sport. Pieces of sh-t.
Lol..dam..tell’em how you really feel..it’s fri..lmao I can’t with you today
I’m pretty sure the real issue is the reason he’s protesting. Black people are supposed to shut up and take injustice. I’m just thankful other players are joining Colin. You can’t let money keep you from doing what’s right.
Just another reason why the NFL is overrated.
All these racists are showing their true colors. That’s the only good that’s coming from Trump running for president.
