according to sports website Deadspin, anonymous NFL executives (it is interesting that they will not own up in name) say they don’t want Kaepernick near their teams because he is a traitor and has no respect for our country, and “[expletive] that guy.” Others state, “I have never seen a guy so hated by front office guys as Kaepernick.” As long as black athletes keep their mouths shut and play the game, they’re fine. Once they range beyond deference and obedience, they’re out of bounds, and huge penalty flags are thrown.
