On the heels of Barack Obama Day, in which the bankrupt state of Illinois celebrated the economic policies that inspired it, it's time for Colin Kaepernick Day.
What has Colin Kaepernick done to deserve a Day? Well he hates America and he's a Black Nationalist. These days that's enough. And as no team wants him and the 50% loss in home game crowds he would bring, it's time to give him some recognition.
Sure he can't play football. But he does hate that America. So it's a perfect time to transition Colin Kaepernick from football player to civil rights icon. And since these days civil rights is just code for Black Nationalist racism, it's an easy transition.
Los Angeles civil rights leaders this week called on the City Council to declare "a day of recognition in Los Angeles for Colin Kaepernick,"
Will this come before or after Light rail, mandatory homeless housing in all duplexes, free crack dispensaries in all Target stores, universal health care and the death penalty for anyone carrying plastic bags?
Last week Najee Ali, local leader of the National Action Network, called the NFL "a modern-day plantation" and said that his group would boycott area Rams and Chargers games until Kaepernick was signed by the league.
Sounds like a plan.
Either you get boycotted by Sharpton's hate groups, whose members don't actually attend games unless it's Pogrom Day, or by actual Rams and Chargers fans. #AllFansMatter
This week Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable president Earl Ofari Hutchinson announced that he's gathered a group of local civil rights leaders to call on the City Council to declare Saturday — the date of the Rams' opener against Dallas at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Coliseum — Colin Kaepernick Day.
That's a lot cheaper than paying Colin millions to drive away Rams fans.
"Colin Kaepernick has created a lot of dialogue on race and racism," Hutchinson says.
He certainly has. So has the KKK. I don't think the Rams are honoring them either.
"The Rams and the Chargers are not playing out in Orange County, they're not playing in Simi Valley, they're playing in the inner-city," Hutchinson says, noting that the Rams' home base is the Coliseum and the Chargers' turf is the StubHub Center in Carson.
Yes, and Orange County doesn't need the LAPD to stop gang members from shooting little kids. The inner city does.
Hutchinson says he supports Saturday's National Action Network demonstration outside the Rams preseason opener
The protests will continue until Sharpton gets a consulting gig with the Rams. And then with every team that fails to hire Colin. At least somebody's cashing in on him. #Resistmuchwemustandwillcashin
"Kaepernick is a true american patriot who's reminiscent of Muhammad Ali," says the National Action Network's Ali.
Aside from actually being good at sports. But Colin probably is as good of a quarterback as Muhammad Ali is. Today.
