[QUOTE="stugatz, post: 1152063, member: 11515"] [b]RE: GQ Picks Colin Kaepernick as Citizen of the Year[/b] Fuck him. Not really because of what he said, but because of how and where he said it. He was a quarterback with a Twitter account, and had the money and free time to be an activist for whatever cause he wanted. No, though, that wasn't enough - he had to annoy football fans by dragging his politics into the games and forcing them to watch. This especially annoys me, because sports was really the only place in entertainment left to run to. I've long conceded that music and film are far more interesting when they're highly emotional and relevant...so politics is a natural thing to include in both of those mediums. (What I was annoyed by there wasn't politics in movies or music, but the conversation in both of those being monopolized by lefties only.) Sports, though, is just an athletic competition where none of that matters, right? Nope. If I want to escape for a while - just relax and watch some huge guys kill each other over a ball - I'm going to have to wade through the retarded musings of Colin Kaepernick to do it first, and he's going to laugh in my face as he gives me the finger. The condescending tone him and his kneeling teammates have here is infuriating. He thinks that Americans are too addicted to their sportsball to stop watching. [/QUOTE]
