ORIGINAL POST Another quick post I wanted to share. There will be a rally for Colin Kaepernick on August 23rd outside the NFL's headquarters in NYC. The rally, which is being organized by various civil rights groups, is being held to protest the fact the fact that Kaepernick hasn't been picked up by another team since parting ways with the San Francisco 49ers, all because he stood up for the injustices minorities are faced with everyday. There's also been calls for a boycott of the NFL until Kaepernick is picked up by another team. Brief thought: As stated previously and I will continue to state it, I support Kaepernick's actions, minus him not voting. I support the stance he took to bring attention to what's going on in this country that people try to ignore. I think it's bullshit that he hasn't been picked up by a team, yet you can beat your significant other, violate the league's drug policy, etc. and still have a job. And everybody in the NFL as far as owners and coaches want to beat around the bush and say his protest doesn't have anything to do with him not being picked up. Keep it real and admit that you don't wanna sign this man who hasn't done a single thing wrong because you're afraid of the backlash you might receive. JUST SAY IT! Now, my favorite player, Marshawn Lynch came out of retirement to play with the Oakland Raiders, soooo this boycott is gonna be a little hard for me to participate in. I didn't watch any games last year because Lynch wasn't playing, however I have a reason to watch again, so I'll support by not watching any of the other team games. Lastly, Kaepernick may never play another game of football and that's perfectly ok because I wholly believe that he's doing God's work by donating to various charities, bringing attention to social issues, etc. God's work will last you a lifetime while playing football is temporary.
