We've all heard Colin Kapernick's rants and rails against America, and his claims of social injustice and "oppression" he calls it, of American blacks. And last Friday, regarding a lawsuit Kapernick filed against the NFL, the NFL caved in to Kapernick's lawyers, and agreed to pay Kapernick $60-$80 Million to settle out of court.
So Kapernick is coming out the big winner in this whole ludicrous fiasco. But is this where Kapernick was going to begin with ? Did he have a plan to make it end this way ?
Or did Kapernick actually feel that blacks are oppressed ? (in a country with 54 years of Affirmative Action privileges for blacks, all done at the expense of discriminated against whites)
The whole thing looks pretty absurd, but now with Kapernick coming out with a huge win financially, one could see this in more than one way. It seems less and less like Kapernick really had a grudge against America, causing him to kneel during the national anthem.
It's beginning to look more and more like Kapernick somehow got privy to some inside information about the NFL, that the NFL was afraid to allow to become public. Knowing that is exactly what would happen if they went to court against Kapernick, they were willing to bend at about $2 Million per team (chump change for them), and keep their secrets intact.
So did Kapernick really want something to happen regarding black people in America, or did he want a quick $60-$80 Million (who wouldn't?), being in a position (with his legal team) to make that happen ? If that's the case, then all the players who followed his lead, and knelt during the national anthem with him, ought to be feeling pretty silly, right about now.
