WELCOME TO THE RAYE WRITER ROOM.
I was going to write this before Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season. But I held back. Here we are. On the eve of Week 4 of the 2021 NFL season. WHERE IS KAEP?? I know. I don’t mean Colin playing or coming off the bench of any particular team. But a mention at least. Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. You want irony?? Green Bay beat the 49ers by two points. The way they were talking up Alex Smith and Jimmy Garoppolo. You would think Colin Kaepernick didn’t play for the 49ers for six seasons. They even ran an old Joe Montana clip. Double irony. During the Cowboys/Eagles game. One of the announcers actually called the Washington Football Team the Redskins not once. But twice! No mention of Colin Kaepernick though. This man in front of media on live television explained in detail why he was kneeling during the National Anthem. He knelt in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the United States. Which sadly still exists even though he’s not in the league anymore.
Past and present men and women who served in the Armed Forces found no issues with his protest. But the NFL did. And I still wonder why…It’s not like the NFL punishes wrong doings on a balanced scale. But a man who didn’t beat up his wife/girlfriend, who didn’t drive while intoxicated, who didn’t get caught with coke in system. Is blackballed from the NFL and not even mentioned during an NFL game. That’s criminal. And what Colin did was the truth and he was found guilty. Guilty of pushing the Amerikkk’s ugly truth to the forefront.
Yea I get it. You don’t want politics or the nasty truths rearing it’s head during your games. But what if all the black men who put on the pads on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday decide to take a few games off. What then NFL??
No worries Colin. I salute and applaud you. I wrote this for you. You may never read it. But I want you to know that you ARE IMPORTANT and worth mentioning. Every day because it’s necessary.
