Trump's gonna lose his bananas.
>Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick was announced Monday as one of 10 candidates for TIME's Person of the Year for 2017.
>Kaepernick, who last played for the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, joins President Donald Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller and the #MeToo movement, among others, on the short list for recognition. Each year, the magazine strives to identify "the person or group of people who most influenced the news during the past year, for better or for worse."
>Trump was recognized by the magazine in 2016, and German chancellor Angela Merkel was its 2015 recipient. TIME will announce its latest "Person of the Year" on Wednesday.
>Kaepernick was the first NFL player to take a knee during the national anthem last year, describing it as a means of protesting police brutality and racial inequality in the United States. He became a free agent in March and has yet to sign with an NFL team this season, prompting him to file a collusion grievance against NFL owners.
>Kaepernick's initial protests have sparked a wave of related demonstrations -- particularly after Trump in September used an expletive to describe those who kneel during the anthem. Dozens of NFL players have either taken a knee, sat on the bench, raised a fist or otherwise protested before games this season. TheAssociated Press reported that 18 players demonstrated in some form or fashion during The Star-Spangled Banner on Sunday.
>The protests have continued to draw the ire of Trump, who views them as unpatriotic and disrespectful to the military. He most recently called the NFL "weak and out of control" on Twitter in response to the continued demonstrations.
>Kaepernick made a rare public appearance at an ACLU event Sunday and is expected to be in New York on Tuesday night to accept an award from Sports Illustrated.

It really sends a strong message. It breaks new ground.

KEK, he grows his wool out to look black because without it he looks like a goat fucker.

This. I know several mixed niggers that when they got older all of the sudden became full Kaepernick mode and started in with the "muh Africa Kangz" shit and grew out their hair. Shit is funny. He legit looks like some dude who would work in a bazaar or drive a taxi in Morocco.

I hope he wins just to piss off Trump and the red statez

winning the important battles

THANKS FOR KILLING THE NFL, KAEPERNICK

even if he wins we still win because it confirms that the media is liberal biased

T H E T O U C H D O W N

He didn't kill it, it was a suicide. The NFL chose to make him the face of their league. They thought he would bring in female viewers to watch him "fight oppression". They couldn't envision the real audience being so disgusted they'd actually stop watching. And of course, the women never showed up.

lol

You know that all military people support the kneeling, right? Like they fought and died for his right to kneel and protest as he wants. It's only retarded conservatives who are against free speech and peaceful protests. All veterans and military support the kneeling despite conservatives saying it's "disrespecting" veterans.

Funny thing is those people have hair like him too. If he went over to North Africa, nobody would look twice at the guy.

Faggots who kill and die for Israel love oppressed millionaire Niggers? Imagine my shock!

He won't win because niggers don't read and won't buy time magazine anyways. Whites will protest it. They'd lose a lot of money and that comes first

>inb4 you provide me a list of 50 veterans supporting Kangpernick as 'evidence'

You'll be hard pressed to even find a list of a few thousand veterans who have openly supported Kangpernick, which is still a TINY percentage of all active and past members of the military.

But nothing you said is true. Nothing.
