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.
As New York sports reporter Chris Williamson reported:

It is easy to speculate that Kaepernick intended to war 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.

Run like da popo was chain ya.
Got to keep your face in the news if you want to be a race baiter
He really screwed the pooch by moving the traveling clown show to an Atlanta high school field. It is not HIS football league it is theirs and at some point he is going to play their game if he thinks he is going to get back into the game. If not he can always move furniture, make the playoffs as a Nike HQ greeter or begin donating blood.
He is neither a tactician nor a strategist…but a classless clown looking for sympathy and it is in the dictionary between sh*t and syphillis.
Kunta Kinte would think Kaepernick is an asshole. His descendants were also proud US military veterans.
That guy is so full of shit that his eyes are brown.
Let’s see…
Kaepernick was raised by white “parents” in white culture and STILL shows no appreciation for the easy life that has been bestowed upon him by nature of being “adopted” into white society.
Kaepernick should change his surname in order to celebrate his African “heritage”. I’ll bet that his white “parents” are thrilled with his actions.
This is merely more proof that “you can take the African out of the jungle, but you cannot take the jungle out of the African”.
In almost every case, cross-racial adoptions of blacks by whites never works out. Once the African DNA begins to show domination over “learned” white traits, all bets are off.
It would be interesting to note what Kaepernick’s “parents” think of their adopted “son” now…
Lots of darkies happily play at the highest professional level in the NFL, NBA but not in the NHL!
Kap’s just a spoiled little brat who had never had a day of adversity in his whole life….obviously he knew the NFL workout would go poorly and so he bailed and staged some kind of publicity stunt…certifying his status as the Al Sharpton for the Millenial generation. Fuck him and his BS.
There are black hockey players who have been good. But they werent black per se. They were just dudes playing hockey. The fact they were black was never an issue because no one made it one.
Just to clarify I was contrasting the vast majority of Black NFL/NBA players who are damn glad to be there and earning lots of money playing a game they love vs. numbnuts Kap. There have been a few black NHL plyers but not many and I am glad they got their shot. I have always thought if we could get more inner-city kids into Rugby we would own the world in that sport.
subban is literally a nigger on ice.
Aaaand now the sheeple can see how serious he was about this. He’s a joke, but he can’t understand the punchline….
Honestly, who gives a shit what this racist has to say? The only reason he is important is that people listen to his drivel. Just like Sharpton and Jackson. They’d be invisible if it weren’t for the media.
What an insufferable nigger. This little ploy that jerked around the NFL scouts only reinforced the risk this self-obsessed, semi-talented prick would be to any locker room. He should go to the CFL.
Never as any premadonna ass wipe ever been so mistreated by fate . If this bag of shit was not raised by white parents and given opportunities to be educated and play a game well he would be a squeegee kid hustling for a buck on some corner
So destroyed by racism he blew a multimillion dollar career by insulting a nation where he could have made enough money to fund his own hate whitey campaign . Screw the fucking bigot racist little shit
What perplexes me about this whole situation is the players have a union. If there was such a miscarriage of justice with this player, why isn’t the union up in arms?
Actually the people to be disgusted with are all the middle class taxpayers (i wonder what race categorizes them) that waste their after tax dollars supporting this rubbish. All these’ heroes’ would be in a graveyard or prison if it wasn’t for the millions thrown at them because middle america needs to be entertained … if you can even call it that. Turn this shiite off. Its actually very liberating.
amen motley,
i’m in my 4th year of no pro or college sports–
you’re correct,it is very liberating not wanting to tie yourself to the tv sat & sun. afternoons,while knowing i’m no longer supporting things i don’t believe in–
The shirt is reference to his salvery to his own stupidity
Cap a nigger. Somebody photoshop “Bixnood Muhfugah!” onto his shirt. 🙂
How clever!
I see what he did there.
That guy is a real card.
He never meant to attend. He knows he will never play again. He does better being a woketard activist than he could in the NFL and doesn’t have to do anything but run his mouth.
Do you think he remembers his parents are white?
when i saw the title on the sidebar i clicked over here expecting a babylon bee article–
kaepernick never intended to work out ,he had to have already had the hs site arranged–most public high school fields are locked up on the weekends & no way he got it set up in an hour–
the nfl should announce that he can’t step foot on any nfl property until he pays the full cost of that workout & publicly apologizes–of course they don’t have the stones to do it but it would help w/their fan base if they would do so–
The commenters on this post have certainly outdone Colin Kaepernick’s socks in regard to piggishness.
Well his t-shirt has the first part right.
Hey, where’s the t-shirt about Kunta’s slutty sister: Renta Kunta ???
Kunta Kinta?, no “Toby”.
Hairy Kunta?
I watched him play college ball here in Reno, and when he went into the NFL he had a few good runs. As i understand it he got a Muslim girl friend, and he was by then a multi millionaire. And away he went.
Now that Obama the flunky community organizer got selected to catch the brass ring, and is now seriously RICH, he is taking Gulfstream jets to Europe to play with the rich and famous, and has several multi million dollar houses, his view of the world is for sure dramatically changed.
Who cares! He is making more money kneeling than wanting to play ball
Isnt this nigger half Jew?
