Not that I ever gave a shit about sports, but Kapernick showed that you could still make money without having to actually play, and collect even more accolades. He knew he was getting cut, so had to come up with a way to reframe himself from a second or third stringer to a victim.

Now we have whole teams trying to out-woke each other, lead by LeBron the Brainless trying to restyle himself from a communist apologist into a Dollar Tree Malcom X before he fades into Jordan’s shadow, while depriving millions of a unifying pastime.

All in all, probably for best. Professional athletes should absolutely get paid whatever the market will bear, but I can’t help but wish for the days when they still had to have a day job. NBA, MLB, NFL and whatever the fuck they call soccer (commie ball, fight me) has successfully made mentally stunted jocks believe their opinions are important than the those of the poor schlubs shelling out $75 a seat, $12 for a Budwiser, and $5K more per month for their business insurance because BLM torched their storefront. We’ve come a long way from the days of Jackie Robinson.
