Victimology is a big seller nowadays and it’s producing some unusual superstars of the downtrodden in our society. At the top of the list has to be Colin Kaepernick, the former washed-up NFL quarterback that has rejuvenated his career not by fighting for a position but by kneeling on the sidelines.
Kaepernick has crafted a lucrative hoax that blames his lack of a spot on an NFL team not on his flagging skills but on the NFL’s refusal to let him and others use the massive curb appeal of the NFL as a platform for political activism.
Few quarterbacks in the NFL’s history have been able to stretch quickness and mobility into long careers. Fran Tarkenton, the great quarterback from the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants is one that comes to mind, but it’s obvious even to the casual observer that Kaepernick couldn’t hold Tarkenton’s jock strap on the best day of his life.
So Kaepernick has dodged the rushing realities of his diminishing skills by running to the sidelines and bowing his head. He’s even donned an Afro Sheen haircut reminiscent of the 1960’s when black Olympic athletes would hold up a black-gloved hand during the National Anthem.
No one seems to notice that Kaepernick has never even come close to suffering the discrimination those past athletes went through decades ago. No one notices that he is just using them as a gimmick to enrich himself with the self-aggrandizement of victimology at their expense.
The problem the victimologists have is that society has come a long way since the days of Martin Luther king or even Rodney King and a race card buys only a fraction of what it once did. White supremacy consists only of a few occasional, ragtag, sign-carrying KKK members coming out of the cobwebs of ancient history.
The gold mine is drying up and celebrity prospectors like Kaepernick are going for it while it lasts. If anyone wonders what inspired the bizarre actions of Jussie Smollett, just take a long hard look at kaepernick.
But Kaepernick with his sponsors is far more harmful than imitators like Smollett. Kaepernick is involved in the ruination of American football as its market share drops like a stone. We’ll all be watching soccer soon thanks to old Colin and his phony struggle against artificial racism.
It might be time to stop buying Nike’s crappy shoes.
