Another meme from the WYD trumper blog. This one in response to Nike releasing an advert featuring Colin Kaepernick. An individual I consider a patriot and a heroic American (for the record).
I guess it doesn't matter that the claim that Kaepernick "sucks" at football is false.
| Kaepernick played college football for the University of Nevada in Reno, where he was named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Offensive Player of the Year twice and became the only player in NCAA Division I FBS history to amass 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in a career.
[Kaepernick] became the 49ers' starter in the middle of the 2012 season... then remained the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, leading the team to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1994. During the 2013 season, his first full season as a starter, Kaepernick helped the 49ers reach the NFC Championship Game. (Source). |
The comparison to Al Bundy is laughable. Al Bundy played High School, not professional football. Al Bundy worked at a shoe store as a salesman. Kaepernick starred as a spokesperson for a big name brand in a nationally run advertisement.
But trumpers clearly do not concern themselves with facts. They hate Kaepernick, therefore he must suck at football. Apparently his mistake was deciding to become a free agent. Because of his protesting of police violence against African Americans (by kneeling during the national anthem) no team decided to hire him. The decision had nothing to do with him "sucking" at football, because he does not suck. Just the opposite.
By the way, Kaepernick, in the ad, has a large afro. I mention this due to the following idiotic comment from a certain racist commenter on Lisa's blog.
| Franco Aragosta: Since trimming off his AFRO, Colin Kaepernick looks less ASININE, but he' still as DESPERATELY UNATTRACTIVE as ever. (9/7/2018 at 1:16pm). |
So, I guess this racist idiot Franco (AKA FreeThinke) is talking about the picture of Kaepernick in the meme. But that is not a current picture. In the Nike ad he has a large afro.
By the way, if Kaepernick is "desperately unattractive" it surely has nothing at all to do with his superior football skills. But, not surprisingly, Franco is a shallow narcissist (with delusions of grandeur) just like the stupid ugly orange turd he worships. How laughably pathetic is this Franco asshole?
Of course he has to tear other people down to make himself feel better. Because, as is the case with all narcissists, he likely knows he is a fraud. Deep down. Just like the Orange Turd (a raging egomaniac) Franco is clearly deeply insecure.
I think that Colin and Tiger ought to tag team Nike for the remainder of Nike's shareholder's value... they're sooooo heroic!
ReplyDeleteBlack = heroic
Why would simply being Black make him heroic? That is an absurd statement. As for Nike, maybe the know what they're doing, maybe they made a mistake. I do think it is HIGHLY unlikely that angry trumpers will destroy the company though.
DeleteBy the way, Kaepernick was HIRED by Nike to do the ad. He didn't make the ad by himself as an attack on Nike. I clarify because you seem confused about what's going on. As for "Tiger", I assume you mean Tiger Woods. He isn't in the ad.
DeleteTrump's the real "hero". Putting your livlihood in peril for your convictions (serve the country) is even nobler than putting down a football when you're no longer playing an A game ( ala Nike's Tiger Woods)
DeleteThe presidency for Trump (a raging egomaniac) is about self aggrandizement. Also, lowering his own taxes. Specifically taxes that hit real estate developers and the estate tax. So, it's ego and greed. Heroism is absolutely not and never was a factor.
DeleteThe Guardian: ...analysis ... finds that changes to business rules will save Trump roughly $11m to $15m per year, while an amendment to the estate tax – the tax on the transfer of an estate of a deceased person – would potentially save his heirs $4.5m (12/20/2017).
Maybe it's "heroic" that Trump is putting his freedom in jeopardy to destroy democracy... from Putin's point of view. I suspect he simply views Trump as a useful idiot, however.
I don't know anything about Tiger Woods' relationship with Nike. I do know, however that he plays golf, not football. Also, as far as I know, he still plays it (hasn't "put down" his golf clubs). Also, Kaepernick still would be playing an "A" game if he were not being blackballed by the leagues. Apparently the NFL is cowardly while Nike is brave.
BTW, you claim that Trump is serving his country... maybe. He is still a US citizen, although he might consider "his country" to be Russia. That's the only way your claim could be true. I doubt it though, given that Trump's ONLY priority is serving himself (and he doesn't care about the USA or Russia).
Lol! Is Kaepernick under special counsel investigation for kneeling?
DeleteBeing black isn't "heroic". It's simply taking credit for you ancestry to win privileges in the present... the new 21st century equivalent of an aristocracy of victimhood.
You're the one who said being Black is heroic. I didn't say it. I don't believe it. There is no "aristocracy of victimhood" only actual victims. That's some nonsense racist Conservatives came up with to justify not addressing the concerns of oppressed people. Pretend they're part of an "aristocracy". It's sick and insulting.
Delete;)
DeleteAs per: Colin Kaepernick's Attorney, he was blackballed because of Donald Trump. "[We] got an owner under penalty of perjury testifying that he changed his mind after he was told what Trump said ... The only reason - and the owners will admit that - they haven't signed [Kaepernick] is they're afraid of Trump, and they've colluded because of Trump" Mark Geragos said. (TMZ 5/30/2018).
ReplyDeleteSo... Kaepernick did not voluntarily put down the football because he wasn't playing an "A" game (a stupid assertion), but because of Trump.
As for Tiger Woods, I did a Google search and found he "was paid about $11 million a year when he played Nike clubs, which have since been discontinued". Apparently Tiger did say that Colin Kaepernick's Nike ad is a "beautiful spot". This (I'm guessing) must be why Red said Colin and Tiger are "tag teaming" Nike's stock. A Black guy saying he liked an ad featuring another Black guy really has White racists like Thersites and Red Herring going nuts.
Colin Kaeperenick was blackballed for being a Muslim sympathizer in war time. At least Ali went to jail.
DeleteHe could have been a Raven. But his Muslim girlfriend preferred to call its greatest former linebacker a house slave.
DeleteWhat a maroon!
DeleteA maroon?
DeleteWe aren't at war with "Muslim". Or Islam. Kaepernick isn't a sympathizer when it comes to ISIS or al Qaeda or any other radical group that claims it represents Islam. I suspect it's all the same to you because you're a bigot.
DeleteHey Dervy boy? I know why you're really throwing a fit. It's not about the Kaeper; it's about your favorite boy Bud Bundy and his mutt Buck. You can find an avatar of Buck to replace your Bernie face. Buck Bundy would be a perfect avatar for you. The Bernie avatar is getting old and boring. Besides, you don't know when he's going to keel over and croak, and you're a doggie lover, right? You said you have some pet poochies, and you can honor a Buck Bundy avatar, the perfect avatar for you.
ReplyDeleteI never watched "Married with Children". I am not a fan of lowbrow humor. I am a fan of Katey Sagal, however. Although not until after Married with Children ended. I like her work on Futurama and her musical career. "Sons of Anarchy" is on my list of programs I might get around to viewing one day.
DeleteAccording to Wikipedia, Buck was "voiced" by Cheech Marin, as well as two other people. "Voiced"? So, he was a talking dog? Or a dog that the audience (but not the other characters) could hear? Stupid either way. No, I am not a fan. Or a prospective fan. I have no plans on watching this show ever.
Hey Dervy boy? You're not a Married With Children fan? Where's your sense of humor? Those guys never took themselves seriously. It had elements of Green Acres, All In The Family, Father Knows Best, Beverly Hillbillies, McHale's Navy and a bunch of other 60s & 70s shows. Buck and his successor dog Lucky were thinking dogs. Lucky was Buck reincarnated after he died (Buck got retired in real life). Lucky was a white haired dog. Either of them would make a great avatar to replace < the Bernie face.
DeleteNike's sales jumped 31% since the Colin Kaepernick ad campaign. Ford Motor Company supports Nike as well. The dead-enders at WYD don't look at facts; they live in their own little, cramped alternative reality. The commenter who praised Trump for leaving his probably corrupt real estate empire for the White House and "public service" Ha! ignores the fact that HE, the commenter, is paying for President Unindicted Co-conspirator's golfing outings. DJT has surpassed, in a year and a half, expenditures for his golfing vacas what took President Obama 8 years to do. Yeah. Talking to the WYD dead-enders is like talking to a brick wall, except that a brick wall obviously has a higher IQ than most of the TrumpCultists who comment there.
ReplyDeletePresident Porn Star Shagger bragged this week about the "unsung" terrific job his administration did during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico -- where THREE THOUSAND Americans perished. Do we really need to say anthing more?
That is all obviously fake news, Shaw. According to what I've read, because Trump vacationing at his own properties the cost to the taxpayer is actually a lot less. As for Trump's infidelities, those women are lying. That, or Trump paid them so who cares? What is important is that the president is WHITE.
DeleteTrump worked his stable genius magic on those WYD folks. He's screamed FAKE NEWS! for 3 years, and they sucked it up like good little mindless bots. So anything that's reported in any media except FAUX NOOZ is not believed. Goebbels is in Hell laughing at them. Also, as long as Trump's infidelities were good white hetero infidelities, the holier than thou 'Gelico Xtians" are fine with it. White, billionaire immoral pigs are their heroes! We should never let them foreget: If it wasn't for the Christian Right's double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
ReplyDeleteHey Dervish? I'm giving you a chance to either fess up or clear your name. I got a reply on a post on my Cleveland Foxers site which I refuse to approve and publish. As I've said, you're banned there, but I thought you should see what I received. I copied and pasted it to the Liberal Troll Watch site with the given email address. While I despise you, I'm still fair. SO, you can see the retort published with a name blocked out per my decision. The font is enhanced, but it is verbatim. There is one other suspect who uses others' names, so I'm giving you a chance to clear your name on the comments over there if it's not you. I'm giving you a 1 time pass at Liberal Troll Watch to either confirm you wrote the retort or deny it (which will end up pointing the blame to another stinky liberal troll known to hijack others' handles).
ReplyDeleteStuff your "chance to clear my name" up your ass, liar. I am sure you will enjoy it. I did not write that moronic comment.
Deleteby the way, how very "Christian" of you, to despise me. I don't despise you. I don't know you. I do think you are a brainwashed trumpdupe. Living in CA, your vote for tRump was pointless. HRC got your state's electoral votes. So, your stupidity doesn't affect my life at all. Unless you find additional ways to screw with me online (as when you hacked my Gravatar account) I don't give much of a crap about you.
DeleteI do hope you come to your senses before it is too late. But I doubt you will. Satan has a tight grip on your soul and will claim it when the time comes. Not a fate I'd wish upon anyone. But you are choosing it for some reason.
