It’s NFL training camp season again, and that means it’s time for us to hear yet again about how far-left race hustler and former quarterback Colin Kaepernick, despite having derided the NFL for years as a racist enterprise that treats its employees like slaves, is trying to get back into the league yet again. If you’re tired of Kaepernick’s cynical act, you’re not nearly as tired of it as is Terence Garvin, a former NFL linebacker who had a few choice words for the attention-seeking apparatchik this time around.
Fox News reported Monday that Kaepernick has posted a new video touting his viability as an NFL quarterback, despite being 35 years old and having been out of the league since 2016. Not only has Kaepernick not faced NFL competition since then, but as a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers during his last two years in the league, he won three games and lost 16. That’s not the kind of record NFL teams like to see, and so even if Kaepernick weren’t a mendacious agitator for racial resentment and division, he would be unlikely to be viable NFL material.Terence Garvin, who was a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington (if children are in the room, shield their eyes) Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, and 49ers from 2013 to 2018, is on to Kaepernick. Appearing on “The Arthur Moats Experience with Deke Podcast” Wednesday, Garvin addressed Kaepernick: “The senior prom was like 6 years ago, bro! It’s over! It’s over, bro. You still trying to be the prom queen. It’s a wrap. You took that money. He pop [sic] up this time every year. We know you can throw the ball, bro.” That is, as they say, gonna leave a mark.
Fox notes that “Moats and Garvin both explained there are too many young quarterbacks in the league for any team to go and sign a 35-year-old quarterback who has not played in the league since January 2017.” Garvin went on to note that for all the NFL’s love of leftist virtue-signaling, Kaepernick is still a liability: “It’s just nothing to get out of it for them, like for them owners. I got the mentality where I understand a little bit of their thought. It’s no winning there. What if you come in here and say something crazy? On top of that, you’ve shown me you’re dangerous. You’d get a rally together. You can’t be leading the troops.” Moats, who was also an NFL linebacker, added a simple and wise observation: “You can’t get good at football without playing football.”
Right. So why does Kaepernick keep trying this, year after year? Every year the prospect of his becoming a viable NFL quarterback again becomes more farfetched. And not only that but if Kaepernick were true to his own stated principles, he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with the league at this point anyway. In 2021, he famously likened the NFL draft to a slave auction: “What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic. Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respect. No dignity left intact.”Now, Kaepernick today wouldn’t be going through the NFL draft, but why would he want to do any business at all with people whom he believes routinely engage in a sinister power dynamic that strips the dignity from his peers? The answer is as revolting as it is obvious. As Kaepernick’s NFL career recedes into memory, it takes his relevance along with it.
Colin Kaepernick needs the people he no doubt thinks of as the old racists who run the NFL far more than they need him. And he doesn’t need to rejoin the NFL to benefit from them; all he has to do is go through this tired charade every year of appearing to be fit and ready to play. Then he can charge that the NFL is so systemically racist that he has once again been denied his chance to shine. It is from the resentment and hatred that this claim generates that Colin Kaepernick profits, and so he will keep it alive as long as he possibly can. When he is in his forties and older, he won’t be able to sustain it, so he has to make hay while the sun shines.
The real game here isn’t football; it’s faux victimhood and the bogus claims of bigotry that fuel all the posturing. In that game, Colin Kaepernick is a sure hall-of-famer.
His skin looks almost white now.
“ why would he want to do any business at all with people whom he believes routinely engage in a sinister power dynamic that strips the dignity from his peers?”
People like Nike?
Yeah, he can go to girly hair salons and tease his hair out into a fake afro but we all know he isn’t black. Why anybody would want to be black is beyond me.
C’mon folks. Crapernick just wants to see if that silly oversized ‘fro of his is thick enough to protect him from head injuries like concussions.
Can we resist racial crap? This is what the pathetic quarterback already owns.
Colon’s adage has always been: “Those who can play football, do. Those who can’t, grift.”
He started a trend that just peaked with Rapino. Their Bud Lite moment is OVER.
Let us hope. Rapinoe has always been particularly repulsive.
Not sure what the problem is here. The America hating Kraperdick and the America hating Rabidho both have gigs with the America hating Nike. Peas in a pod.
Gee, another racialist grifter who has gotten wealthy and famous from the con. Haven’t ever seen that before.
Crapperdick was the lowest rated QB in NFL history when he quit six years ago. He isn’t a has been so much as a never was.
Nobody cares about his racist ass
Kaerpernick is probably smart enough to know that grifting is the only talent a dipshit like him can offer society.
As for the other individuals quoted in the article, they might be nice guys, but their manner of speaking demonstrates why many of these athletes would be utterly lost without pro sports. For that, the blame is with our schools.
As for pro sports, as a conservative, I say F**K them. Haven’t watched in years.
Spot on KF! Some people should never post on social media.
Like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Kaepernick painted himself into a corner he thought would be his throne and turned out to be a toilet bowl.
Harry, Meghan, and Kaepernick can still make some money if they start a college course on “Race Hustling, the do’s and don’ts, when and when not to, is your situation right for it, how to avoid the pitfalls.”
Don’t forget to include NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace.
And Jussie Smollett.
BLM (Buy Lovely Mansions) Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton are the archtypical race grifters. Kaepernick is simply aping their shtick.
Well stated Mr Spencer. Nice work!
If Kaepernick really wanted to play in the NFL, he had his best chance with the Baltimore Ravens and he blew it. Ravens HOF linebacker Ray Lewis convinced owner Steve Bisciotti to give him a tryout. It would have made sense because the Ravens offense was similar to the 49ers and used a mobile quarterback. They had several coaches who had been with Kaepernick on the 49ers. However, the day after the story broke, Kaepernick’s girlfriend posted a picture on instagram of Django unchained with Bisciotti as owner and Lewis as his slave. Needless to say, Kaepernick never got the tryout and the Ravens never showed any interest in him since.
I have to give Kaepernick’s girlfriend 2 thumbs up for that one! You go girl: 👍👍
Thank you, Robert. Kaepernick was far beyond a black man sticking up for his race as many of his defenders would like us to believe. He was definitively an anti-American with exaggerated claims of the USA as a world oppressor. He was far more radical than BLM and few in the sports world recognized how anti-patriotic he was, not far from the ugly politics of the now retired Megan Rapinoe who corrupted the US Women’s Soccer world for the last ten years.
Race? Fast or slow?
Crapernick became an America hater radical when he started hanging out with his muslim girlfriend.
Who knows if he’s being paid by some islamic terrorist government or group.
Not surprising why he got no takers on his NFL contract since he came out as a racist. What brain-dead owner would pay to put a race-hustler in their locker room?
