Unemployed Football Coward Gets Torched

Colin Kaepernick found himself at the center of a firestorm on Twitter after denouncing the missile strike that tore Iran’s Quds force commander into teeny, tiny shreds as “American imperialism.”

He first tweeted, “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.”  He followed that tweet with this one, “America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad. America (sic) militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the nonwhite world.”

The washed-up former NFL quarterback, who has deservedly been unable to find work as a football player after kneeling during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality, was instrumental in Nike pulling a Betsy Ross shoe over the summer because it marked an era when slavery existed in the United States. In December, Nike sold out of a $110 shoe featuring Kaepernick on the heel in one day.

Iowahawk won the Internet over Nike’s decision with this hilarious tweet:

I suspect Nike will introduce the Air Soleimani™ model within days.  That’s how they roll.
