Kaepernick Just Beat Out Actual Heroes In Being Given Enormous Award For 'Making The
World a Better Place'.
Just in case you hadn't yet heard enough about 3rd string quarterback Colin Kaepernick,
here's some more news to tick off every former NFL fan.
The former 49ers player whose main accomplishment in life up to now has been single-handedly
garnering disrespect for the flag and driving the National Football League into the ground,
just can't seem to stop raking in the awards.
Sometimes it's hard to say if a career change will be good for a person, but in the case
of Kaepernick, he seems to be tailor-made for the job of Social Justice Warrior-in-Chief.
His accomplishments since leaving the game of football far outnumber his accomplishments
while he was playing, and he has once again proven that all you have to be to turn into
a leftist hero is stick it to patriots.
The original National Anthem kneeler has received numerous awards, but according to Truth Revolt,
he's gotten another one:
"After being named GQ's 'Citizen of the Year,' Sports Illustrated is handing
over its Muhammad Ali Legacy Award to the kneeling coward.
Usually, Sports Illustrated reserves the honor for a sports figure who has influenced social
change for 'decades,' but according to Steve Cannella, the magazine's executive
editor, that is not a strict requirement:
'The Muhammad Ali Legacy Award is given to those who make the world a better place.
The fact Colin hasn't played this year or been on the field doesn't disqualify him.
That fact that he hasn't played in a game actually shows what he has sacrificed for
standing up for what he believes.
There will never be another Muhammad Ali, but you can see the echoes of (Ali) in what
Colin has done over the last 12 to 15 months.'"
I don't know about you, but that doesn't exactly sound like a description of what Colin
Kaepernick has done over the past year.
From the perspective of someone who doesn't see race as a reason to give a person any
different treatment, the chain of events looks a little different.
To most of us, it looks like one disgruntled player decided to dishonor a tradition that
gives honor to those who give their lives for us.
It was a pretty basic rebellion move that took off like wildfire since rebellion is
running rampant in our country today.
"Kap is no Ali, as Larry Elder compared and contrasted the two athletes here at TruthRevolt:
'Ali argued that his religious beliefs made him a conscientious objector who ought not
be forced to join the military.
In doing so, Ali faced up to five years in prison and was stripped of his ability to
fight in the U.S. for more than three years, his prime years as an athlete.
While the heavyweight title-holder avoided prison during his appeals process — that
ended up in the Supreme Court — he was forced to hand over his passport, which prevented
him from fighting overseas, as well.
Banned from boxing and stripped of his world heavyweight title, Ali argued his case on
the road, speaking at a number of colleges and universities, where he repeatedly stated
that he would rather abide by his religious convictions rather than violate them in order
to make money.
Martin Luther King Jr. urged his followers to "admire (Ali's) courage.
He is giving up fame.
He is giving up millions of dollars to do what his conscience tells him is right."
By contrast, Kaepernick wants to have it both ways.
The NFL allows players to stand or not, depending upon their own choice.
So the league actually gives players permission to stand or not to stand for the national
anthem.
In Ali's case, his refusal to join the military cost him the ability to earn a living in his
chosen profession.'"
Breitbart's Dylan Gwinn nailed it, when he wrote, "In what has become undoubtedly
the most award-winning and star-studded unemployment in the history of unemployment, Colin Kaepernick
has won yet another award."
Sure, modern culture requires everyone get a trophy, but this is getting ridiculous.
Kaepernick will receive the award at the woke-titled "SI's Sportsperson of the Year Awards"
ceremony in New York City next week.
In a statement from Ali, the unemployed quarterback is praised 'for his passionate defense of
social justice and civil rights for all people.'
'Like Muhammad,' it continues, 'Colin is a man who stands on his convictions with
confidence and courage, undaunted by the personal sacrifices he has had to make to have his
message heard.
He has used his celebrity and philanthropy to benefit some of our most vulnerable community
members.'"
There's some debate as to whether Ali or Kaepernick deserved an award at all, but certainly,
none of the descriptions given when handing out the Ali award fits the Kaepernick that
we know today.
If there were an award for first to flip off someone who deserves respect, maybe that's
the one he should win, but as for Kaepernick, the only thing he seems to stand for is himself,
and that's far from an award-winning quality.
