Colin Kaepernick is less gutsy than a White Female Figure Skater

Colin Kaepernick?

WHAT A WUSS.

When Tonya Harding took a knee...

Meanwhile, back at reality, I noticed (it's hard NOT to) a whole bunch of MEMES festooning social media. One of them was keyed to the Fourth of July.

Take a look at this one, Colin Kaepernick.

So, tell me, Caper Knickers, Mr. Knickers in a Twist, how do you think British people feel on July 4th?

Surely there are tourists in America on July 4th who feel OFFENDED. Who feel ANGRY because THEIR ANCESTORS WERE KILLED BY AMERICANS.

The July 4th holiday surely offends the U.K.

Now, I know it's an important holiday because we all want to see Joey Chesnut eat over 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes, and prove to the world how Americans are rich enough to make eating a sport.

BUT...July 4th was shameful, and a guy like you must surely agree that it should NEVER happen again. Oh, let's not PREVENT July 4th from existing, and go from July 3rd to July 5th. Just AVOID celebrating it.

Colin Kaepernick decided the Betsy Ross flag offends him, and therefore NOBODY should be allowed to buy a Nike sneaker with that emblem on it?

First off, I'd like to see the day when Colin Kaepernick is offended by Nike in general, and how they bankrupt ghetto kids into thinking overpriced sneakers are important.

But more important, he should get the BIG picture, which is that America as we know it, built itself up by knocking people down and killing them...via the Indian wars and the Revolutionary War.

ARE THERE ANY OFFENDED I HAVEN'T GROUPED?

That's a variation on an old Mort Sahl line, which old Mort Sahl isn't using these days.

What it means is, it's easy to spend a lot of time sulking and being offended, and going on witch hunts, and firing people and censoring stuff.

How easy? You just take a knee and let everybody gasp and nod and give you millions of dollars.

How effective? Not very. Have the number of incidents of police brutality against blacks, or ANY other group such as Latinos or white women gone down thanks to Colin? No. How about incidents of gun violence in general? School massacres? Oh, never mind, Colin didn't take a knee over gun control or school massacres. He has his priorities.

He'll wear his non-Betsy Ross Nike sneakers when he jogs over to watch the Washington REDSKINS play some games. He might cheer the BOSTON PATRIOTS, because, after all, their ancestors shot and killed a lot of British people.
