The Issue of Colin Kaepernick


 My very first post on this blog was about sports...About my Eagles...This post...I'm not sure what number it is concerns my fraternity brother , Colin Kaepernick and is not so much about sports as it is social justice and fairness..

For Colin Kaepernick to be exiled from Football for seven years in his prime because of a symbolic kneel during the national anthem is clearly the height of absurdity and unfairness. He should have been brought back long ago. For this serious injustice, I would support his reinstatement along with generous back pay by the NFL.

My thoery has been that most of the owners are  wealthy white males , who tend to lean Republican and who were scared of Former President Trump's criticism during that time when Kaepernick was protesting.
He's no longer President... He's not even on Twitter and he's about to go to jail.... What is the excuse now?  Several teams could use at least a good back up quarterback...What's the excuse now for continuing to blackball this man?
