The NFL cannot escape the politicization that’s ruining professional sports.
Fans have had politics shoved down their throats for five years now.
And an anti-American anthem protester said something shocking about one fan base.
The residual effects of Colin Kaepernick’s anti-American anthem protest are still being felt by the NFL.
Any time a starting quarterback vacancy opens up, left-wing activists in the media and entertainment world advocate for Kaepernick to get a job.
With Russell Wilson out, Pete Carroll said they’re “talking to everybody that could help us.” Of course, they haven’t called Colin Kaepernick. https://t.co/gofl3sSEMg

Now retired tight end Martellus Bennett is dredging up the protests of the past.
Bennett, who briefly played for the Green Bay Packers, says the organization released him because of his participation in the anti-American protests.
Bennett also blasted the Packers fan base as racist because of backlash to his protest.
His justification was that some fanatics sent hateful messages to the organization.
In fact the entire situation to get me out of Green Bay was tied to protesting and the organization plotted to find a way to cut me and came up with some bullshit lol.

The Packers claim Bennett was released for failing to disclose an injury, but Bennett argues that was just an excuse.
I was supposed to go on ir 2 weeks before I was cut but they needed to come up with a plan to get rid of me with their lawyers.

Bennett’s claim is dubious because many players who protested the national anthem are still in the NFL.
In fact, Green Bay Packers defensive back Kevin King sat for the anthem, and he remains with the team.
The Left want to keep protests and calls of injustice front and center because chaos and fear are how they coerce political change.
Kaepernick has become a fire-breathing radical, and the damage he’s done has been long-lasting.
The so-called mainstream media deem it appropriate to bully athletes into repeating the political mantras of the Left.
Those who don’t get questioned and potentially ostracized.
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac experienced that when he stood for the anthem when all of his teammates kneeled.
