Poor Colin Kaepernick

Poor Mr. Colin Kaepernick
Claims America is racist, inegalitarian and sick
  His professional football contract only pays him $11.4 million
  Though his clear-eyed grasp of the issues makes him worth at least a billion

I agree. Very well put Gershon. So many people trying to find the words.

Yes, I do feel sorry for people who make that kind of money. All kinds of relatives come "out of the woodwork." Ha!

Me, too. I feel so sorry for 24-year old multimillionaires like Mr. Kaepernick. Poor guy! Hasn't had to throw a football for three years to earn his $11.4 million either. Can you imagine that? -- On top of which he earns a pretty penny as NIKE's spokesman. Who would want to trade financial futures with that poor, poor man (who rants, as an African-American, about how racist America is). What a guy!! :) gw

Now he's playing the right game...the money game...

You've hit it on the head, Arturo. With this 24-year old ex-phenom / unemployed football player, it is surely all about the money. … I don't know if CK would ever entertain this additional thought, but he got out of the game physically intact, which is a lot more than far richer players can say. All their money = nothing without decent health... And btw, CK is doing quite well as Nike's spokesman... :) gw
