GAME OVER: Kaepernick SNUBBED by Team After Refusing to STAND

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.12.18

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly gave Colin Kaepernick the boot from pre-season training after the out-of-work quarterback flat-out refused to quit his national anthem protest; adding they were “deciding” whether to offer the athlete a job for the upcoming season.

According to Fox News, the former 49er was contacted by the Seahawks weeks ago about a possible visit to the team’s headquarters for tryouts. Inside sources say the trip was canceled after officials demanded Kaepernick remain standing during the US national anthem

“The team reportedly asked Kaepernick if he would continue his protest if he was signed to the NFL again and he was ‘unwilling to give that assurance to them,’” writes Fox.

Kaepernick made national headlines throughout the 2016 season when he kicked-off the trend of player protests during the ‘Star-Spangled Banner.’

“The NFL should have suspended him for one game and he would have never done it again,” Trump told Sean Hannity last October. “They could have then suspended him for two games and they could have suspended him again if he did it a third time, for the season, and you would never have had a problem.”

NF HELL: Colin Kaepernick to Receive 'Muhammad Ali' Award

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.05.17

Colin Kaepernick, the infamous out-of-work quarterback who inspired months of player protests during the national anthem, has been awarded the highly-prized ‘Muhammad Ali Legacy Award’ by Sports Illustrated, the magazine announced on Thursday.

“Colin Kaepernick made his truth known when he first decided not to stand for the national anthem. He had a lot of football left to play and a lot more money to make when he made his decision,” writes Sports Illustrated. “It is his truth. He has not wavered from it. He does not regret speaking it. He has caused millions of people to examine it. And, quietly, he has donated nearly a million dollars to support it.”

“For all those reasons—for his steadfastness in the fight for social justice, for his adherence to his beliefs no matter the cost—Colin Kaepernick is the recipient of the 2017 Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award,” added the author.

Kaepernick’s pick for the award will further alienate angry fans who view months of player protests as un-American and disrespectful to the men and women who have fought and died for the United States.

The ensuing controversy, brought to the media forefront by President Trump, has cost the NFL and television networks upwards of $500 million in lost revenue.

“Like Muhammad, Colin is a man who stands on his convictions with confidence and courage, undaunted by the personal sacrifices he has had to make to have his message heard. And he has used his celebrity and philanthropy to the benefit of some of our most vulnerable community members,” said Lonnie Ali, Muhammad’s widow.

The ex-San Francisco 49er has been out of a job since he became a free agent in 2016, filing a grievance against the National Football League that accuses owners of “colluding” against hiring him because of his political beliefs.

Kaepernick made national headlines when he chose to “take a knee” during the performance of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ for the first time in 2016, angering patriotic fans and team owners throughout the country.
