Kaepernick right to protest
In light of the recent events, it is absolutely clear that Colin Kaepernick was correct to protest, and the NFL was wrong to blackball him. The fact that Trump called him an SOB is just sickening. He stood up for his beliefs and it cost him his career. Maybe if the NFL had stood up for his rights instead of bowing to Trump, the George Floyd murder wouldn't have occurred. If no team will hire him as a quarterback, then the NFL should hire him to a league office position. He truly deserves the Medal of Freedom for his courage, unlike the one Trump gave to the blatantly racist Rush Limbaugh.
