Like Tebow, Colin is learning it’s best not to alienate the crowds, no matter how righteous you think you are. Football is neither a religious nor a political venue. You’re there to win, and nothing else. Political views are for talk shows.
Problem with Afro-night is the word “Afro” in today’s climate.Maybe if they promoted shaving it while kneeling during the National Anthem?Most people don’t know the words, cheer through the last lines, so could “Boo” for a change.You can’t hear anyway due to the flyover!
Kaepernick could pitch a baseball 95 MPH in high school and was drafted by the Cubs, so he wouldn’t feel out of place on a diamond. And as for fitting a ‘fro under a baseball cap, two words: Oscar Gamble. Google some of his images from the 70’s…Kaep’s got nothing on Oscar.
Another cause du jour. How many other football players that followed his example are still playing? He is polarizing, but that wouldn’t stop him from having a job if he won games. I just see another player that could see his skills going away doing something to garner sympathy. Remember Michael Sam?

Maybe if they did “Afro Night” as a discounted admission for anyone sporting an afro.

His Afro might actually rival that of Oscar Gamble.
