What a moron! This guy actually believes he’s some sort of social reformer, when he’s just a washed-up football player with sh*t-for-brains.
He wants justice and freedom. Really? He’s fortunate enough to have been born in the greatest country in the world. A country which offers more freedom than any other, and justice even for criminals.
If he doesn’t like it here he can always leave. I encourage him to go to any other country on the planet to see how much freedom he will have. Cuba and Venezuela are close by, but he might opt for maybe Saudi Arabia or North Korea. Maybe then he’ll appreciate the freedoms we have here in the United States.
He’s a moron! TGO

A tradition since 1975, the annual dawn festivities, also known as Unthanksgiving Day, commemorate the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz by American Indians, during which 89 American Indian activists and leaders occupied the island and former penitentiary with the demands that it be turned into an Indian cultural center and school.
Between traditional dancing and speeches, Kaepernick delivered a message of resistance and hope to the thousands gathered on the island:
“I realize that our fight is the same fight. We’re all fighting for our justice, for our freedom, and realizing that we’re in this fight together makes it all the more powerful.
If there’s one thing that I take away from today and seeing the beauty of everybody out here, it’s that we’re only getting stronger every day, we’re only getting larger and larger every day. I see the strength in everybody.
The dancing, the rituals – that is our resistance. We continue to fight. We continue to fight for justice. We fight for our freedom, and we continue on that path.”
The football star’s words were met with cheers and applause before the ceremony continued into the early morning hours as the sun began to rise over the island.
Kaepernick remains an unsigned free agent.
