Colin Kaepernick - New Book -

[JCL Trading]

He said his parents were racist for not wanting him to emulate thugs and wear cornrows. That’s really all you need to know about this self-absorbed idiot.

One more quick thing. He said he looked up to Allen Iverson and that’s why he wanted to have cornrows. I can’t imagine why any caring parent wouldn’t want their son emulating that image.

He’s so uninformed I’m guessing he doesn’t know Iverson was a thug in high school and was in a gang fight that left someone dead. And he also got in trouble in the league for pulling a gun on someone. I can’t imagine why any caring parent wouldn’t want their son emulating that image.

Iverson was in a gang? Are you talking about the fight at the bowling alley? No one died -- Iverson got harshly punished for basically being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

He is promoting a message of black empowerment -- not black victimhood. He values individual expression and self determination -- those are ironically traditional conservative values.

He was a fan of Allen Iverson as a kid and so was I -- I loved his crossover move.

He was a great 49er and, as a 49ers fan, am proud of his time with the team.

He was an athletic QB that the league caught on to, was no longer starter material and took the opportunity only after losing his job to drum up this entire act and made a career out of it. He'll throw who ever he has to under the bus to keep this going so he can keep making money off it. He is an entitled, ungrateful, little brat.
