The facts with Adam curry for November 25 2019. This is
episode number 16.
Now that's an opening
and happy fourth month anniversary Mo
Yeah, we have what's that 16 shows is four months. Yeah, give
or take some change. Yeah,
pretty much we, man we're moving and grooving along here.
Man, I'm enjoying every bit of it.
Did Oh my friend Ditto. So today what is today is the 25th of
November 2019. We got a brand new mo facts with Adam curry
lined up for you and what we discussed what the topic would
be, which would be I think if I looked at the clips, we are
deconstructing Colin Kaepernick. Is that right?
Yes, I've waited to broach this topic because I knew he was
going to be ever evolving story ever since he came onto the
scene. And I think we reached a somewhat of a climax with the
story.
Oh, okay. So you mean the story's ending? It's over.
That's it. It's done.
Well, well, I think there will be one more final scene like
with any good movie, you know, um, you have the pick what they
call the math. Right after the comic? Oh, the epilogue. Yes. So
I think we'll have that that portion still left. Okay. Well,
I think now is we reached the climax. I think he's completely
done with the NFL. And I think both sides are happy about that.
Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. All right. And preface for this. I'm
not a sports guy. So I don't know really much other than, you
know, some of the stuff we've looked into with the social
justice warrior angle. So I hope to learn a lot today.
So that's, I'm glad you're not a sports fan. And I didn't make
any assumptions. So what we're going to do is build up from the
very moment that he refused to stand all the way up to where we
asked up today. Oh, perfect. Excellent. All right, so let's
get right into it. Refuse to stand.
It's the rare occasion when sports and politics collide and
an NFL quarterback has certainly ignited a firestorm. We're
talking about Colin Kaepernick. He's the San Francisco 40 Niners
quarterback, and he's been refusing to stand for the
national anthem before all three preseason games in protest.
Ron's here with the reason behind his activism. And this
reaction has been swift from every side.
It really has no Kaepernick, who just a few years ago, three
years ago, led the San Francisco 40 Niners to the Super Bowl is
well known for speaking out on social issues, that what he's
doing now is a protest over police killings of African
Americans is drawing a huge reaction condemnation from many
and support from others. This morning, the spotlight on
football star Colin Kaepernick for taking a stand by refusing
to stand San Francisco 40 Niners quarterback remaining seated
during the playing of the national anthem at three
preseason games. A protest he says over police brutality
against African Americans kapernick saying in an
interview, I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag
for a country that oppresses black people and people of color
adding to me this is bigger than football, and it would be
selfish on my part to look the other way. Yeah, this is how
most people were introduced to Colin Kaepernick social actions.
But of course, we know this a little bit more behind the
story. Because I think he was just sitting down because he was
tired and wasn't in the game, if I recall correctly.
Actually. Let me give a little timeline prior to him city.
Okay, so on June 4. Colin Kaepernick sign a record. Right
signed a record six year extension for $126 million. That
was June 4 on 2014. Then he asked the problems in San
Francisco during that season. And in November 2 2015, he was
benched. And then that's when we came into February 26 2016.
export trade. And then he came back the following season. That
was the August 26 2016. And he was noticed sitting, sit and
notice the key words sitting during the national anthem.
Right? Right sitting not kneeling sitting on the bench,
right? I remember
and that's going to be a very important detail and we're going
to get to that but it was captured by Jennifer Lee Chan
and she was the the photographer for the San Francisco 40 Niners
actually captured a picture of him and tweeted it out of him
sitting at the back of the bench. He wasn't a very very
back on the sidelines sitting on the bench while the other
players are standing for the national anthem. So Well, up to
this point he's taking a seat um from what I thought was I think
he thought think he was just being a malcontent because he
wasn't the starter anymore. He has had some problems with
injury and I just think that he I mean, this is my personal
opinion and when I cuz I follow sports that I just took it as
him like I said, being a malcontent because he didn't
have the starting role that he was used to right
in like a baby. Pretty pretty much pouting. Yeah, there you
go. Oh, my god like malcontents. Sounds so official.
So um, Harry Edwards, we have to look and see who he is because
he's important to the story.
Sociologists Harry Edwards has been an activist from the day he
realized that sport wasn't the toy department of human life.
Edwards, a professor emeritus at Cal Berkeley, was the chief
organizer of the Olympic Project for Human Rights and the guiding
force behind John Carlos and Tommie Smith 1968 Olympic
protests. Decades later, he's advised Colin Kaepernick on his
protests and publicly advocated for the quarterbacks returned to
the NFL, a former basketball player at San Jose State,
Edwards first organized protests at his alma mater. Over the
years, he's worked for a number of sports teams and leaves
consulting on issues of diversity. Because of his
outspokenness, he's received death threats and been viewed by
the FBI as a national security threat. As Edward said recently,
the last words out of his mouth will probably be I protest, he's
done in his whole life, changing the sports world in the process.
Right, and I think Kaepernick was friends with him or talk
with him or took advice from him.
Well, he was Kaepernick, quote unquote, mentor, there you go.
Our advisor, or maybe from the school of thought I have
handler.
Nice. Yes, of course. Honestly,
honestly, we believe Colin Kaepernick is a useful idiot.
Some maybe some have used the term I've heard in the
conspiracy realm of a MK MK Ultra.
Nice.
So we've know for sure Mr. Harry Edwards has been advising him.
And it makes nothing but sense if he advised him on taking the
seat. Because they as I mentioned in the previous clip,
he advised Carlos Edwards not forget the other gentleman's
name, to make the process that the six data Olympics with the
black black fits the Black Power Fist. Yep. Yeah. So he was the
brains behind that. So this is where we are. So in the next
clip, we're going to hear Mr. Harry Edwards speak on Colin
Kaepernick.
So what's the next step for modern day athletes in what you
call the struggle? Now, the thing is power. And the issue
becomes for them, how do we frame it up, so that we can move
forward and make our contribution? Right now, Colin
Kaepernick, San Francisco for tonight as a team that I've been
with for 31 years is the face of that effort. We have a lot of
work to do in terms of trying to figure out exactly where this
was going to end up in terms of the framing and how are you how
are you helping him frame that? Well, basically, it's, it's,
it's an ongoing conversation. He's very, very bright. Colin is
very, very bright. He's very, very committed. More than
anything else, he wants to have a constructive impact. He
understands the evolution of this movement in athletics going
back to the pre World War Two years, he's aware of that. More
than anything else, I tried to answer his questions, and to put
everything in perspective and give him a broader handle on
exactly where he is, and what he's involved in. And as much as
anything else. The price, the cost of what he is doing. And
he's good with all of that.
cup. Okay. Oh, interesting. So he's been briefed on what it's
like to be an activist and I gotta say, two things about
that. But first of all, Harry Edwards looks badass. I'm
looking at his picture on the Wikipedia. The band is like a
shaft guy is.
Yeah, in the goatee. Yeah, and second,
keep saying Colin,
was that too? I don't know if it's just a weird pronunciation
of His name, but yeah, I picked up on that as well. But he says
he, Colin almost say calling myself Colin on was was aware of
the price that it was going to cost him right. When we look at
Colin Kaepernick, and I have to say this, up until this point,
before him taking the seat, he was not known or a little bit
before taking the seat. He wasn't known as a as a activist.
Now, he was a GQ pretty boy. Yes, that's what he was known
for. eveness even to the point where he I can't find a picture.
And I've challenged anybody that I've talked to, I'll give them
$100 To find Colin Kaepernick and a Trayvon hoodie, or Trayvon
Martin hoodie, because that was the easiest protest to have on
your social media account, to you know, when Trayvon Martin
was killed, one of the process you saw was people taking
pictures with the hoodie on, right, you saw it wave all the
way up to Congress. I mean, you politicians, everybody, but I
cannot find one single picture of Colin Kaepernick with the
hoodie on now. And that's just that's strange to me.
Do you have a Trayvon hoodie? No. Okay. Why wouldn't Why would
he have one because that was what everybody was doing.
It was everybody. It was like, it was almost like a challenge.
You know, kind of that kind of vibe that you had, um, you know
what people would change their filter on their on their icons?
Oh, socially. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, it was that kind of thing.
It was like, so for him to be a so called Kournikova activist, a
social justice warrior. And that to be absent. I just I think
that speaks to that. He is new to this game.
Right. Okay. Agreed. That makes sense. I do have a picture of a
car. I'm trying to get my 100 bucks. I have a picture of him
and a hoodie. But it's his own hoodie. It's the deer racism on
not my grandparents. Sincerely these hands.
Yeah, so you're not gonna You can post that you can find
pictures, even with him with Trayvon Martin's parents. But at
the time, on his social media, I haven't found anywhere and
nobody has collected the $100. So Gotcha. So now we have to
look at who all has a vested interest and common cabinet
being activists. There's a few people that I want to bring to
light that people may not be aware of. One of them being Miss
nessa D AB, which is Colin Kaepernick, girlfriend, Taylor's
the girlfriend. Yes. Before we get into this, this next clip
about her. I want to give a little feedback. I mean, a
little background on how they got together. Well, nessa D AB
used to date Colin Kaepernick ex teammate, all this Smith. And
there was a report and I didn't want to get into the gossipy
side, too much of the story. I wanted to keep you're just on
the activism, and the political side that we normally pay
attention to. But they supposedly got into a fight. And
it was well reported on several sports news stations. They got
to our locker room fight and root cause was behind. She
started dating Colin and broke it off with Alden. So that's how
they came about. So let's just get into some background on Miss
nessa Diaz. Oh,
I understand that you're dating Colin Kaepernick he is we're
talking about him a lot these days. He is amazing. What are
your thoughts on him sitting and the kind of the controversy
that's surrounding? I support
him? 100% you know, and I think it's amazing that he's able to
exercise his freedom of speech. And I think that that's what
makes being an American amazing is that we can be open and we
can say these things. And this is something that's important.
And I think that we should use this to have open dialogue and
take steps to make this country a better place to live in.
Now they don't have like a conversation before this. Did
you know it was coming? Did you think he ever anticipated would
blow up this big because I mean,
you Colin truly feels this he lives this and it's from his
heart and that's what makes this so beautiful, because this
wasn't pre planned. You know?
Oh my god that is couldn't resist for Amazings in there,
and I knew you were gonna do it. And it was important all kinds.
That's just me paying attention to Well,
no, it's important that you caught that because we have to
do the background on Miss Nessa. Yeah, she is she's from Cal
Berkeley as well, right Mr. Harry Edwards got she was a star
student. She started Cal Berkeley at 17.
And she did she take sociology classes from the professor
communications.
Oh, communication, right? She's a popular DJ on one of the
popular urban radio stations in New York. She went to MTV KTVU
BLS. What's I think it was power power. 95. Yes, power 90
Not to maybe
don't quote me on that. But the one of the major two I think is
10106 95. Wanted to make her to she was the VJ DJ there. She was
on the popular show girl code. TV. She in?
Doesn't seem you ever seen that girl code show? Yes. Oh, my God.
It's it's jarring.
It's a fine piece of mocker show they have
going there you go. That's it. Yes.
So in this clip, she says that her and Colin didn't discuss
this. Wish it either way I read it. If you want to believe that
they didn't discuss this, then this was just a spur of the
moment thing he had going and had no plan as what people want
to paint it as to be Oh, he had this grand plan to bring social
awareness. But I don't believe that. I don't believe that. I
believe that. It was discussed. Because just a little
foreshadowing here. She, she is she's gonna play a very active
role in this protest, as we start going down to clips here.
So I don't think she just got pulled in at the last minute.
Right. So
this is a data point of view saying, you know, as we unfold
the mind control or whatever it she could also be a sub handler,
I guess is what we're saying here.
We're gonna get there.
As always, God. No, put on the goggles. Oh, you're restricting
goggles?
Oh, I think yes. I do have to put those on where I didn't hear
they let me put my glasses on one second. takes a minute.
Okay, thank you future is now black.
Okay. Right now.
Inside joke Nice. Okay.
So there was one more influence that the media doesn't talk
about. And that is the Trent, the transgender female, Mia
Isabella, the other
name that you get linked up with a lot, and it's especially been
happening more because he's been in the news, Colin Kaepernick.
Is that something you're going to be addressing on the on the
podcast? Is there a story to address there?
I'll take my time with that. Yeah, that's somebody that I
extremely I respect extremely, you actually care for extremely
think he's an incredible person that they braveness that he's
showing now I admire and I feel like maybe has something to do
with him making him feel bold enough to be the kind of person
he's become lately. How did you do that? We had a great
friendship, great connection. And we talked a lot. I'll say
that. During the tiger situation, someone saw some kind
of social media.
By the way. I should point out something that you were like,
you were like, Okay, I had this plan with Tiger. One. I just if
we ever got if we ever got exposed, we would just tell
everybody that we were really good friends. Oh, shit. And then
I was like, hey, what about Colin Kaepernick? Well, I'll say
we're just really good. Okay, well, that kind of explains that
went away and how you want it,
right. Okay, this is interesting. Nia isa Bella. You
set her up as a transgender. She's a transgender pornographic
actress.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I mean, I'm doing Show Notes these days, and I'm doing the
wiki page. And here it is. Mia Isabella.
Show notes right.
An American transgender former I'm sorry, former pornographic
actress as she won her last AVN award. She's the adult Video
Awards. Oh, no, she wasn't an ex biz award in 2014. I guess she
quit the biz after that one. She she left on a high note.
Well, my question is just for an hour I'm gonna take her from the
intersectionality standpoint. Why she not all over the news.
She It would be perfect. Right? Right. Right. Column stands with
the transgender community. Yeah. I think I know why because that
would hurt him and other demographics,
but black men who watched football pretty much like an
underdog understand that? Sure. So
just leading up to the next clip, how was she made? Not to
be in the spotlight. But you do you think
you inspired him to
fired me, I think even during the situation that I was going
through, this was a person who made sure to keep in contact
with me and made sure to kind of just make me feel like I could
stand up to anything. And I think it was a probably an
important moment for him as well, to see how the world was
reacting to me and how people were kind of just really
trashing me, and how I was still trying my best to stand as tall
and represent and protect people. I was at a really,
extremely low point. I was frightened is that because it
was after the tiger stuff was during the time I was I was so
afraid of what was happening. I didn't know what was going on.
Like I said, when you're dealing with crisis management people
contacting you and attorneys and PR people and all that all the
media like every show out there. I'm on TMZ I'm on Monday when I
see all this stuff happening and I'm just like what in the world
is going on?
I missed something I missed the the tiger fight what what what
did I miss?
Okay, so Tiger is a rapper. Right? Thanks. Thanks, smoke,
give me a little bit of credit. Just a teeny bit of credit.
Okay, so
I will, I'm giving his title who used to date Kylie Jenner. Oh,
Mia, Isabella came out and somehow got linked to Tiger. And
that's when the whole whirlwind started up about her with Tiger
and she like said crisis managers, attorneys TMC myself,
Tigers know where biggest celebrities Colin Kaepernick is
so why
didn't he have all the crisis management going on?
Exactly. Using when something is
missing. It's meant to be there on purpose.
When something is like I mean, that's why I played that last
clip to show you that's the normal course of these things
happening. And Tigers a way smaller celebrity, as I stated
before, and then Colin Kaepernick, so you expect the
same thing TMZ will be knocking down her door, they will be
chasing her around trying to put a microphone in her face. What
you know about Colin, what you know about Colin, but none of
that happened? How do
you? How do you know that target or that Colin is a much bigger
celebrity. I mean, it's if it's hard, it's hard for me to see
sports guys that had the music celebrity level. But that's just
me because I don't have that background.
It's because he crossed over me. He was a he was a pretty big
star, just being a sports star. But even now he's made it he's
bigger than he was when he played football.
Got it? Now I'm not I'm not questioning it. I'm just trying
to understand. Yeah,
he's a he's a he's a social media. Superstar now got it. I
mean, even his silhouette is iconic.
And yeah, iconic, iconic, iconic, and designed as such.
Exactly. So just getting off of the background people. I just
want to lay all those people out there. And you know, just to
say, who who was who was in his circle
and nice crier. He's got a bunch of friends.
Why are there people missing from the story? Why are there
people there's highlighted in this story. And then we're going
to see, I mean, how they all play out in the future. But I
want to just want to do the background or and lay down the
foundation there. So now we have the X. Why was it such a big
deal? That he took a knee during the national anthem? Do you have
any any clue ideas? Um, yes, I
do. Yes, I do Mo and the reason why I do is because we looked at
this story on no agenda. And the biggest problem is, it's a
television show. And the television show is paid for by
sponsors and a big one. Around the time of the anthem is the
United States military, who pay millions of dollars to have jets
fly over and soldiers marching on the field and flags and all
kinds of stuff.
Number seven,
there's a scheme involving the Pentagon that Congress is trying
to shut down. It's called paid patriotism. We're talking about
millions of dollars that are being funneled from the Pentagon
to proof professional sports teams around the country every
single year. In return, the sports teams honor American
soldiers, and they promote the military at their sporting
events. I guess you could think of it as sort of like product
placement. You know, Jose, you're watching your favorite
YouTube video might not seem like a commercial. But in the
back, there's a perfect can of Bud Light just facing right
towards you. That wasn't an accident. It is a commercial
that these advertisers want to put in your face without you
knowing that it's actually an advertisement that you're
watching. This is sort of the same thing, according to John
McCain, who actually looked really into it. And that's in
itself. It's surprising that Republicans are going after
this. I think that's awesome. Anyway, according to John
McCain, who's now our Senate Armed Services Committee
Chairman, since 2012, the Pentagon paid at least $6.8
million in contracts to teams in the NFL, the MLB, NHL and the
MLS. Major League Soccer. Yes, there's a soccer league in this
country.
That's less than I thought that was for one year.
Yeah. And so I think that number
goes to the way bigger Yeah, it goes to the NFL, not the teams,
right? It goes to the NFL.
Right? Because they didn't they had these individual deals.
Yeah, well, they own the turn on the television. Yeah, the NFL,
onto the TV, right. So
Right. So per action per team, there was still more money being
funneled to the teams, like if you recognize this particular
person will give you 20k I mean, homework. Yeah. So I mean, it's
just not me. It's bigger than me saying it has me has to be mean,
it has to be so. Um, so let's just get into the second part of
this clip.
I have the number here the New York Jets football team received
$20,000 from the Pentagon, for what just to recognize one or
two New Jersey Army National Guard soldiers at halftime kind
of hailing them as Hometown Heroes. I've seen that a games
before they kind of come in and they say their names and
everyone applauds. But I didn't know that the Pentagon was
secretly paying for these kinds of things. Now, I'm all for, you
know, promotion of the military. I don't mind if I'm watching
television, and I see those those those commercials for the
Marines or whatever. I think it's unnecessary. I don't blame
them. Everyone does that. But at the same time, if the Pentagon
is doing it in a way that we don't know, kind of like a Bud
Light sneaks their little cans in there. I almost feel like
they're trying to brainwash the masses. I don't know. Am I
looking into this too much? Am I being too sensitive? I just
think it's weird that they kind of do it in this secretive way.
It kind of changes how they're going about. And it's weird.
Yeah, we call this native advertising. It's been around
for a while. And it's, of course, the whole point is to be
subversive to sneak it in. And it since we're talking about
mind control, it's totally what it is.
And so sports is almost synonymous with war. If you
listen to the terminology. You got the bomb. You got the Blitz.
Yeah, you know.
The wishbone. Oh, right. That's yeah.
I mean, a lot of yeah, a lot. A lot of it. Yeah. A lot of the
terms are military term course. A military term. You
got uniforms, you're fighting, fight, fight, fight. Yes, of
course. And then, but this is human nature and humans need
this. This is what the Romans figured out. You know, we need
the games we need to otherwise we're gonna go beat each other
up.
Bread and Circuses circus. Yep. And this is where a lot of
people got pissed off with Colin Kaepernick. And I was one of
them. Don't interject politics into my own football. My control
is yes, you'd like you'd like to buy the Gatorade and all the
other stuff that they're mind controlling you with, but not
the politics part that's going forward?
Yeah, not not even. It's okay. I have to admit, I'm a huge
fantasy sports guy, fantasy football, fantasy basketball.
And for three to four hours a week, allows me to unwind and
not think about anything else is going on in the world. Except my
little fantasy team. And my group of 11 other guys I had
finished up with and we kind of go back to childhood. Right?
Well, you can ask me all you want, but I'm not into fantasy,
anything Well, right. But of course, I understand. Yeah, I
totally get that. So
we you start injecting bowl cry bowl crap crap into my mental
escape. Because that's what it is. I mean, television is I
mean, we all have I mean, even though I'm probably the most one
of the most aware of people when it comes to mind control and
propaganda and all these things. We all have that little thing
that we tap into. That's our escape. Yeah, for a few hours
for sure. Whether it's reality TV show or whatever. So mine is
sports, so I can empathize with people. They say What the hell
are you doing, man? I don't want to I don't want to talk about
social justice issues or politics during my three hour
football game. I had nothing to do with what he was protesting.
You even had the people spraying this up with with the with the
breast cancer and the guys wearing pink like, Why didn't
wearing pink for pink shoes? Sure. Yeah. So you, but it's not
something you I mean, there's no Pearl broken breast cancer
people out there. So it's not I mean, it's not like it's
polarizing. Oh, right. Yeah. Good point. So you have this
propaganda going on at that pre game. And then you have this guy
is that is the fly in the ointment interrupting that. So
somebody has had to change. So the question was, why, why Colin
Kaepernick to the knee?
What was your initial response?
When you saw the Colin Kaepernick set for the national
anthem?
I'll be completely honest, my initial response was was anger.
You know, I was angry and disappointed because I grew up
in Niner fan and I was pulling for this guy. Now he just pissed
on my flag. But then I just stopped making all these
judgments and tried to listen to what he's talking about, and
specifically is police brutality. And the more I
thought about it, the more I was, like, I want to try to
understand where he's coming from at least someone because I
hadn't walked around in his shoes, but he hasn't walked
around in my boots. You know what I mean? So I just wrote a
letter, and he got a hold of it. He contacted you. Yeah, he
contacted me. He said he was inspired by it. And he was
wanting to sit down with me and just have a discussion. First
thing he said we met was, I just want you to know, I appreciate
your service more than anything I expressed to him, maybe
there's a different way to demonstrate where you're showing
more respect for those that lay down their lives for what that
flag and anthem stands for. I suggested, you know, kneeling,
because people kneel to pray, you know, will kneel in front of
a fallen brother's grave, you know, to show respect, and he
said, I think that would be really powerful.
Kaepernick choosing not to sit on the bench this time, but to
take
a knee, the fact that he was willing to listen and go to a
knee versus sitting I thought was huge. That's an important
step that he's taken. I think other people need to take a step
to and maybe listen to it.
I remember this. And this is for me the weirdest link in the
story, because I believe this is a Greenbrae. And the Greenbrae
is the one who said, who urged him instead of sitting, which
was not in protest, because we just, I mean, that's obvious
because he was pouty. So I'm not sure what the what's the guy's
name, the Greenbrae Nate Boyer, Nate Boyer. He fits in somehow,
but it's never really been investigated. Until today.
Hopefully.
I'll we're going to go to all the anti Mr. Nate warrior, but
good now, Adam, um, this. Super woke so so Search Social Justice
Warrior. And he'd come to his Greenbrae army guy telling me
hey, you only be sitting down you need to take a knee and I
say, Oh, yeah. Okay.
Good idea.
Sounds very plausible to me at all. Um, so we have to get into
Who is this Nate Borja character? Why him?
Why Nick Boyer with a controversy that straddled both
football and patriotism. Why was his perspective so unique?
It was actually interested in joining the military right out
of high school. But after 911 He really wanted to join the
Special Forces. He wanted to become a Greenbrae. He was
deployed initially to Iraq. He got out of the army for a short
period, and that's when he applied to University of Texas.
Lawyer wasn't your typical college player. He tried to make
the Longhorns football team as a 31 year old walk on
an older guy that wasn't a tremendous athlete that didn't
play high school football that wants to join a national
championship program. I mean, come on
now. Huh? Yeah, come on now. Interesting. Yeah. Interesting.
31 years old and wants to join the Longhorns. The number like
the main national championship level, Longhorns team, yes. And
he somehow walks on as a long snapper, which is probably the
least important position on a football team.
All right, you got to explain the long snapper is when
someone's field goal for field goal.
I'm just guessing. Yeah. For golden punch. That's the guy.
That's the guy that hikes the ball back to the kicker or the
place the guy that's holding the ball for the guy Gotta keep
Yeah, this interest only
job. I never realized that wasn't the regular quarterback
who
does that. Senator? Yeah, that's
what I mean, Senator. Yeah, of course. It's the Senator. Oh,
yeah.
Well, yeah, he's a special type of Senator. Yeah. Oh snap,
because he does one thing very well. That's it. All you got to
do is get the ball
back to in the guy's hands.
Right. And they let the 31 year old walk on Greenbrae specials
Force guy, Soldier
get the job. And he'd never played organized football in his
life.
Ever. Hmm. That's not suspicious at all, at all. Nate warrior
too. And he said, You're losing your first and second team deep
snapper. And I can do that. And I said, Have you ever done it?
He said, No, never done a day in my life. We'll take a ball coach
and I'm gonna go to Afghanistan. And I'm gonna practice every
day. And I'll come back as your deep stamper and I thought
Trump, this is gonna work.
Number 37.
He started on every snap for the next three years. We had him
take an American flag on the field. Every time we would come
out. He became a team leader.
Many college football players have their summers off. Boyer
spent his with the Special Forces in Afghanistan. After his
college career ended in 2014, the 34 year old former longmorn
had another long shot in mind earning a spot on an NFL roster.
They called and said Coach Do you think I'll be drafted
lesson? I'm gonna be honest with you says unlikely for you to
make it because of your size. And because of your age.
In the 2015 preseason. Boyer got his NFL shot with the Seahawks
in his only NFL game. He carried the American flag on to
CenturyLink Field.
Oh, okay. Here's what I think. It sounds to me like this guy
was doing a little bit of native advertising for the United
States military. And they placed him initially with the
Longhorns. Which, by the way, I live in Austin. It's a fine
military industrial complex city. Lots of spooks lots of
stuff going on. Lots of retired military so it sounds like he
was a he was a part of his gig was promoting America and
military on the field.
And it worked for both parties because hit now you have this
guy, and they showed in this piece that I snagged the clip
from, which was from the NFL channel in NFL films. He's at
the combine and that's where you have the potential players
that's coming up for the draft and as his huge gaggle of press
around while pressing around him. Now he's a 34 year old
long,
long snapper huh?
undersized? Not my words. That was Max brown Mack Browns words
from from the Longhorns. undersized, 34 years old, which
at 34 years old, you're you're over the hill. And you're the
end of your prom for professional football players.
Now,
did you? Did you already find this very suspicious in putting
together your fantasy team? I'm sure he didn't include the
shill?
No, I found it very. As I started peeling back the layers
coming soon. And I saw Colin Kaepernick in the news we're
taking make it a political stance. I was like, oh, what
Colin Kaepernick, um, that that will be the birth. Let me be
honest with you. I'm gonna be completely 100% honest with you.
My first thing was Colin Kaepernick is black.
You thought it was like some kind of Drake.
Like he was he was very racially we use this term, racially
ambiguous him and he could be Hispanic. He could be air. I
mean, you didn't. I mean, when you saw him, especially when his
hair cut short as he is.
When he was yeah, he looks much more Hispanic than right. So I
was like,
that was my first thing was that took me aback. I'm like, he's
black. And then after that, I'm like, he, like you said he's a
GQ model. Yeah. He wasn't concerned with because you have
certain players in the NFL that are known for being for being
outspoken on social issues. You have Michael Bennett, you had
what's the guy from Seattle Seahawks? I forget his name, but
it's a few of them that you know, but he would not this guy,
not Colin Kaepernick as he saw started this is
Kaepernick a Das?
I don't know what is the reason why I say that is his mother's
white. Was that mean that doesn't matter. Right? And they
don't I won't speak of his father. And he was adopted by a
white family. I think it five weeks old. So I mean, we don't
know much about his history, which it doesn't matter. I mean,
in the grass. No,
it was just because this is the MO facts show.
Yeah, it was just shocking that he was black period. Right?
Because and the reason why, let me explain why I say this for
people like what does it matter? When that black quarterback
comes in the NFL? That's a usually they label it as a black
quarterback. I mean, cuz this this. Yeah, so you can we
handle. So we
have, we have a Super Bowl in recent memory with two black
quarterbacks, and they made a big deal out of it.
Yes, and every time a black quarterback goes to the Super
Bowl, they make a big deal out of every time a black
quarterback is drafted, they make a big deal out of it,
because the usual Mo is the black quarterback is going to
play a certain style of football. And that was the that
was knock against the black quarterback because they were
like in the 70s and 60s is they don't have the mental capacity
to to to play the position, you know, so
that's really Yeah, I'm laughing but you even did it with a
sports announcer voice I like that. Well, clearly these
Americans don't have the mental capacity for quarterbacking.
That was the justification. So we are very sensitive when it
black quarterback comes into the NFL. So that's what took me
aback about Colin Kaepernick. So then when the Green Beret thing
came up, like hold on, and they you posed to be these so called
unquote, quote unquote, radical that you let a military guy come
in and tell you to take a knee which as he said in the clip
himself, taking a knee is like a sign of obedience. Yes. So I was
like, book bull crap. I mean, I started calling it bull crap
from the very beginning, which was very unpopular. Wish it's
very common for me to be on the very unpopular side.
Not not with the with the girls, huh?
Yeah, um, yeah, I'm just the, you know, just the troublemaker.
So this thing plays out and he's taking his knee and he gets he
gets his job back to play football, and he's still taking
the knee for the 40 Niners in the same season that he
originally started taking the knee. But even Colin Kaepernick
is certain things that no black person could ever say. And he
touched a third rail of Blackstone of not voting.
At this point. I'm sure Colin kapernick is used to receiving
backlash, but after letting it be known that he had no
intentions of voting, many of his supporters jumped off the
bandwagon. So young cat felt compelled to explain his
position, the conference call with members of the press, I've
been very disconnected from the systematic oppression as a whole
Kaepernick said. So for me, it's another face that's going to be
the face of that system of oppression. And to me, it didn't
really matter who went in there, the system remains intact that
oppresses people of color. Nevermind that University of
Alabama football coach Nick Saban admitted he wasn't even
aware that there was an election, the media, and namely
Stephen A Smith sounded off on Kaepernick for not voting as if
not voting against the money he's donated, and programs that
he's implemented since this protest became public.
Now, did he announce this? Or how did this come to light that
he was not
voting? I think it was one of those TMZ kind of things where
they like on the street and they put a mic in your face asked you
about the election. And he was like, Yeah, I'm not voting
because both of them are bad commie. This did. very
simplified what he what his statement was,
why is this? Why is this the third rail?
Because if you're black, you got to vote. Gotcha. Even just just
for some context, I get feedback now, for my stance on this show.
Like how dare you tell people not to vote? You know? Well,
I'll give you example, what it sounds like. ESPN, ESPN host
slams Colin Kaepernick.
I appreciated what you said about Colin Kaepernick as
someone who's 54 registered to vote when I turned 18. I've
never in my life missed voting in an election. Have I expand on
what you had to expand on what you had to say about him?
Well, listen, the fact is he had every right to protest and when
he was talking about racial and justices and things of that
nature, you certainly can understand where he was coming
from. It was a quiet protest. He didn't impede anybody's ability
to watch the game to come to the games or anything like that.
Which is why I went on Good Morning America for my show.
First take on ESPN, too. Every weekday from 10am to 12, noon
and other outlets to support him. However, the second that he
decided that he was not going to vote and didn't to publicly
reveal that he wasn't voting, I thought it was egregious to the
highest order. I thought it compromised everything that he
was standing for. And more importantly, I thought it was a
disrespect to our ancestors to people who have bled and fought
and died for him to have the right to do that. And then also
take into account the fact that we have a president who was
outgoing in Barack Obama who captured 93% of the black vote
who obviously black folks come out and support. He went before
the Congressional Black Caucus and went campaigning for on
behalf of Hillary Clinton, basically imploring our
community to activate itself in this election if you had any
respect whatsoever for his legacy.
I need a bell just I'm just around me all the time. Just
when I hear the word activate. I got it. I got to ring the bell
to Yes. Okay. So he was not on board with the program. He
didn't want to activate for Hillary.
And that's where he got canceled.
And what was he What was his reasons behind this?
Because he understood his fan base. He's very conscious or
what I'm not gonna say he because I don't think he was
very.
I'll say, He doesn't look that smart.
I don't think I'm smart. I'll say this. Because the reason why
I wouldn't say smart because he was a 4.0. Student. Oh, okay.
I'll
take that back.
I don't think he's that aware. And there's very, a lot of
reasons for that being a biracial person that was raised
by a total white family grown up in a total white community. He's
not as aware of race. As a, quote unquote, typical
black horse, he didn't have the same upbringing, where it is
where the you're gonna vote was hammered into you. So it's
right. Yeah. Okay, so when he says these things, but I think
him not voting was very calculated, because if you link
him as it loosely, is to Black Lives Matter, that was a large
portion of his, because you got to look at these things. They
were running concurrent, at the same time, Black Lives Matter.
2016 They were on a meteoric rise. So it was Kaepernick, and
they kind of merge together, they converged, right, they
converged. And for him, and you know, black lives matter was
very anti establishment, anti Hillary Clinton. So for him to
come out and say, yeah, and be used as a tool for Hillary
Clinton, then that would damage his brand. And this is all about
brand here. Yes. Okay. So it was a very calculated, I think,
wisely calculate, I mean, a lot of his moves. That look stupid,
you have to understand they look stupid, because you're thinking
about, not you, but people are thinking about him in terms of
him getting back into the NFL, right? No, he's thinking, I'm
gonna build this brand. Because I wasn't that good of a football
player. Last time I played. Even if I get back in NFL, I'll be
mediocre at best. Now, he will be better than half of the guys
that are either starting quarterback or backup
quarterbacks. I'll give him that credit. And I think that's the
very disingenuous argument when people say, Oh, he wasn't good
enough to play. No, it's a lot of trash quarterbacks in the NFL
right now. Well, so you gotta, you gotta have
a certain amount of, well, it could be wokeness or I mean,
awareness for sure. If you know, okay, wait a minute. I I'm not
that. I mean, he he made a career choice. I'm not that
great a player. And, you know, I've got a brand. And I think a
lot of things happened, you know, the hair change will I'm
sure we'll get to that or maybe not, but the hair change was a
significant that's that was a true branding move.
And that was immediate. I mean, because when he was start
process, right away, had that big afro, so he had to Afro he
was ready. He was ready for casting.
Okay, now you're right, you're right. You're right. So that the
decision had already been made. And then of course, he's in his
mind. He's already thinking, Okay, I don't win if I, if I
come out publicly for Trump, because no one does. And I don't
win if I come out publicly for Clinton because of the Black
Lives Matter. Convergent convergence with what he was
doing. Okay, got it. I'm there.
So, you asked the question about his handler ship. Oh, it started
off in my opinion. It started off with Mr. Harry Edwards. But
there was a transition. Because, and this is quoting from on May
11 articles for you ESPN 17 Mr. Harry Edwards made a statement
it three teams have inquired about Colin Kaepernick advisor
says and it goes on he goes on to talk about the teams that
were interested in Colin Kaepernick. Right. But
immediately after that, I'm nessa Diem refused to claim. So
this is where the handler his handlers made a transition from
it being Mr. Harry Edwards. being handed over to miss this
idea
of IQ many fans want to know How close were the ravens to signing
Colin Kaepernick Ray Lewis says they were about to close this
deal, but one tweet changed it all.
A 24 in the am Baltimore Ravens get making
headlines yet again. The whole Colin Kaepernick mess Colin
Kaepernick and Ray Lewis are at center stage with Luis shedding
light on why the Ravens backed away from the controversial
quarterback.
Nobody had this kid a job in the National Football League. I can
raise my hand and say I did once a
star for the 40 Niners poor play in a protest at the National
Anthem quite a moment here in San Francisco has kapernick
looking for a new job.
I'm gonna continue to stand with the people that are being
oppressed when Joe Flacco
was first injured. The Ravens expressed interest in Kaepernick
but never signed him. Shortly after Kaepernick girlfriend
slammed owner Steve Ashanti and Ray Lewis posting a tweet that
mirrors the movie picture of a house sleeve hugging his racist
master. The only
thing that went bad was that image where she tried to make us
a racist, Louis on
show times inside the NFL, we were going to close the deal to
sign
him to sign them all we wanted to hear was hear Colin
Kaepernick speech then his girl goes out and puts out this
racist gesture she doesn't know we're in the back office about
for about to try to get this guy to sign.
Yeah, but maybe she didn't know I guess. Yeah, perfect timing.
Why? If your goal is to get back into the NFL, why would your
girlfriend aka your handler, tweet out a picture of she had
on one side she had the owners of the Baltimore Ravens being
held by Ray Lewis, the legendary iconic linebacker from the
Baltimore Ravens on one side, and then she had a picture of
Django Unchained with the quote unquote, Uncle Tom house slave
hugging the white flight owner. Yeah, why would you do that? If
your goal is to get back in the NFL?
This Yeah, that doesn't seem like that's your goal, if? Well,
of course, he didn't do it. But she did it. And then of course,
he immediately broke up with her and publicly said she was a
horrible person, right?
Not at all. And just as a side note, Baltimore Ravens have
taken a black quarterback. Oh, I'm drawing blanks today. They
have a currently have a black quarterback that they drafted.
And he's been very successful in their system. So much so that
he's being in the running for MVP talk. So Colin Kaepernick
could have played that he had the same skill set. Lamar, Lamar
Jackson had to come back to me. He had the same skill set as
Lamar Jackson. And he could have had the same level of success
because they built a system around his skills of running the
football, you know, and we're not get too much in sports, but
he could have had the same he could ask them or success, but I
don't think that's what was that's not what is wanted for
Colin Kaepernick. No, so once again, he once again he becomes
toxic. He overcame the voting thing. nflt looking at him
again. No, it was it.
Was there any more conversation with his girlfriend where she
interviewed? Did she give any any decent explanation of what
she was thinking? Not at all. Okay, so this so this that's odd
to there was no TMZ interview. Why did you ruin your
boyfriend's career?
None of that. None of that. Okay. So now Mr. Colin
Kaepernick is completely toxic. The kneeling thing had died
down. But then enter Mr. Donald Trump.
It was a remarkable show of solidarity and defiance aimed
directly at Donald Trump. Stadium after stadium anthem
after anthem National Football League players on one knee
others With raised fists or locked arms sometimes along with
team owners, some teams staying in their locker rooms for the
anthem, some anthem singers themselves joining the protests.
All of it a response to Trump's comments Friday about players
who protest this way who in Trump's view, disrespect the US
flag, get that son of a bitch off the field right now out he's
fired. Trump and his supporters frame it as unpatriotic. But the
protests are aimed at highlighting racial inequality
in the US. That's why former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick
began it last year, a move say some that cost him his career as
no team hired Kaepernick this season. But Trump's comments and
his calls to now boycott the NFL. And the view by many Trump
is sympathetic to racist views. And all of a sudden,
this. Yeah. So Trump use Colin Kaepernick in the NFL for two
reasons. One, I think he was doing the Roy Moore election
when he was in Alabama, was Alabama Mississippi. I forget
not one of the two were pretty sure it's Alabama. It was
Alabama. Right. That's where he made this comment. So he needed
he needed some reflection from that whole debacle that was
going on down there. Because I mean, Roy Moore was the worst
candidate ever. But he had to back him right. Yeah, cuz, you
know, because of the allegations that were made against him about
the young girls or whatever. I mean, that was just true or not,
it was just bad optics to have to support a guy like that.
Right. So he needs attention is anything that you think Trump
did for that reason? Well, I'm gonna get to that's one reason
but the second reason he hates the NFL. Trump hates the NFL.
Yes. Let me explain the history to you. Okay, so Mr.
Crawford raft guy is his buddy.
Yeah, crap is his buddy. Jerry Jones from the Cowboys is buddy.
But the NFL. Okay. Trump once had a team in the USFL, which
was a direct competitor of the NFL. And he sued the NFL, ah,
and won a monopoly case. He want he only won $3.
This is like the 90s is this early 90s. I think in the late
80s, early 90s. Somewhere around that period, I was in New York
at the time. So I kind of remember that. And I remember it
was like, and he had a team too. Didn't you put a team together
for his?
He had a team. Yeah. And they were they were playing football
in the springtime. But then he moved in direct competition with
the NFL and the fall. Yeah. So that I mean, he won, he won. But
then the other thing was, Mr. Trump tried to buy a team in the
NFL. And the way it works is to get a team in the NFL, even if
you have the money yet to
vote. Do you have to be invited? Yeah, you gotta it's
yeah, it's, it's the billionaire boys club is what it is, right.
It's like my fantasy league. You know. I mean, that's what it is
for billionaires. I mean, they have their teams. Most of them
make money elsewhere, and it's just their passion. So they're
like, we're not letting this guy trumping, you know, so that
really galled Trump like, Oh, okay. You don't want to sell me
a team because he tried to buy the Buffalo Bills. So just to
back up my claims. We have Jaguars owner, con speaking on
Trump.
President Trump hasn't been shy about voicing his displeasure
with the NFL and one owner says the President's attacks on the
league are personal. Jaguars owner Shahrukh Khan told USA
Today that the President's assault against the NFL is
quote, about money or messing with trying to soil a league or
brand that he's jealous of. The President has railed on the NFL
on social media for its handling of the national anthem
controversy. And though most owners were hesitant to comment
on the President, as they wrapped up league meetings in
New York, con was very candid. Trump was unsuccessful in
attempting to purchase the Buffalo Bills back in 2014. And
Cohn reportedly thinks that could be a motivating factor
saying he's been elected president where maybe a great
goalie had in life to own an NFL team is not very likely. So to
make it tougher or to hurt the league. It's very calculated.
Ah, well, Trump is definitely someone who's on record saying
is he believes in retaliation. So
yeah, and just to give this guy icon and credibility and his
claim he's donated to Trump's election. I lecture fun. So it's
weird. It's weird. It's this weird thing going on between
these billionaires. I mean, they I mean, they're very petty
in certain ways. Yes, they are.
Sold NFL, this is what called the second wave. And a huge buy.
As I said in the previous clips in the one we just played. It
was league wide protests. All the guys were taking a knee.
Some guys were raising the face. Players was walking on a
practice, staying in the locker room even, ya know, talking
about doing practice. They wouldn't even they wouldn't even
practice. So the NFL owners had to take action. And what they
did was they put together this fund, I'll think of like $88
million to donate towards minority causes
minority minority minority causes non black lives matter
but minority causes. Okay,
yeah. So that kind of smooth things over. But it caused a
rift between Colin Kaepernick and NFL players. Now I want to
introduce a another reading, do an eclipse because they're not
mean Eclipse to have on him. But one thing called a kappa is
known not to do is talk. Nobody heard here hears him talk. All
he does is tweet. But he has his attack dog. Eric Reid, Eric re
was a guy to play with him in San Francisco and took a knee
with him when he was taking his knee every time. Around Colin
Kaepernick has beef with somebody else it really
addresses it either verbally or even attempting to physically
approach people. So we have Steven a speech Smith speaking
on Erie versus Malcolm Jenkins,
let's get into the particulars, for example, the $89 million.
Did y'all know that part of the agreement is that the owners
will match whatever the players contribute up to a quarter of a
million dollars annually to certain causes pertaining to the
African American community, the kind of issues that Colin
Kaepernick and others were talking about addressing. We
know this, if you don't know it, you know it now. Number two, the
NFL, Colin Kaepernick himself, Eric Reid himself, they would
never protesting against the National Football League and its
owners. They were protesting against society in terms of
wanting to bring attention to racial oppression, racial
inequality and other things pertaining to disenfranchised
communities throughout our nation. They were not
complaining against the National Football League.
Yeah, and here I come. I'm a television network. And I say,
Hey, we got a little problem. You know, we're getting this in
a lot of flack about our telecast. And it's too
controversial in the military, you know, they don't want to buy
as many ads around the program because, you know, the kind of
ruining our flyover. So, this had to end.
So, just as people know, who Malcolm Jenkins, Jenkins is,
Malcolm Jenkins was the guy that came in and say, you know, what,
he was the face of the Players Association, to say, you know,
what, we can monetize this thing for charities? Right. You know,
right. They basically they hijack Colin kapernick movement,
which is what player associations do very well, by
the way.
Well, I mean, that's what people do all the time. If you if you
just want to complain about something and don't want to
monetize it. There's somebody out there saying we can monetize
this thing. And that's what they did. And NFL owners found them
favorable to work with, because they were in being just
anarchist. So they came to this agreement at $9 million, as I
said in the clip, and that caused, like I said, a rift
between the Colin kapernick faction, which included Eric
Reid against Malcolm Jenkins and the Players Association, and we
will he'll steam a speaking more about it in part two.
Number three, when you talk about Malcolm Jenkins and the
players coalition, they're saying their priority wasn't
Colin Kaepernick their priority were the issues. We even have
Josh Norman quoted on the record, beefing with Eric Reid
over a conference call written by an article in our very own,
the undefeated, where he was saying to Eric Reid, let's just
be real about what's going on here with Colin Kaepernick to
speak up for himself and oh, by the way, this is bigger than
just one man, we understand that what's happening to Colin
Kaepernick is wrong, but this issue is bigger than him and if
we're about uplifting and helping our communities that
takes precedent.
So once again, Colin Kaepernick thought his cell phone outside,
just kicked out. You see his tree in here of this? Well,
getting close to come back to the NFL and then something
happens and, you know, it's just this bob and weave thing.
It seems like if I looked at it from a handler perspective, it's
like, you know, kid, let him get close controversy, pull them
back, and we're gonna go over there, let him get close
controversy and pull him back. That's kind of what it feels
like.
That's exactly what seems like to me as well. So the insteps
Nike,
Nike is defending its controversial new ad campaign
after backlash from President Trump and other critics. In an
interview the President said Nike is sending a terrible
message he says By partnering with unsigned NFL quarterback
Colin Kaepernick, but he added their freedom to do so it was
what this country is all about. Kaepernick triggered the NFL
player protests against social injustice back in 2016 by
kneeling during the national anthem. CBS This Morning
Saturday co hosts Dana Jacobson joins us at the table. She's
been following the Nike controversy from the beginning
Dana morning. Good
morning, and this is not going away in the season hasn't even
started yet. an NFL executive at least one has expressed support
for Kaepernick saying in part the social justice issues that
Colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our
attention and action. But Nikes decision is also fanning the
flames on social media. Nikes controversial endorsement of
Colin Kaepernick is reigniting the debate over NFL players
taking a knee during the national anthem.
All right. So Nike comes in they make him part of the JUST DO IT
campaign.
What was the size of his deal at the time? Do
you know it was it was undisclosed how much he made?
But it was in the millions? I'm sure no doubt. But one little
caveat is have you ever heard Mr. Mark Geragos?
Yes, lawyer in Los Angeles. He's a very famous lawyer.
Yes, he was Mark Geragos was Colin Kaepernick attorney. But
he's also tied in with something to do with Nike as well.
Business Insider reporting lawyer Michael Avenatti was
arrested and charged with attempting to extort $20 million
from sportswear brands Nike on Monday have a notice basis for
the alleged extortion attempt was that he had information
related to the NCAA basketball scandal that will put Nike in a
negative light. The attorney for adult film star stormy Daniels
allegedly tried to force Nike to pay up by threatening to harm
the company if his demands were not met. Later Monday, Nike
responded by saying that it was complying with federal
investigations in NCAA basketball, and will not be
extorted. Celebrity attorney Mark Geragos was named a co
conspirator in the Avanade case, which was filed in the Southern
District of New York.
Yeah, I remember this and I remember making a deal about it
on no agenda. And I got a number of emails from from people, my
friends who said oh man, Gallegos is an ok guy. So you
know, they weren't sure what was up with the with Avenatti. And
what how that fit together, but they were definitely I mean, I
think he's also Adam Carolla is lawyer.
Speaking on the weird love triangle that's going on there
between Abinadi Nike and gara goes where gara goes and Abinadi
were partners with a Abinadi he's trying to extort Nike. And
then you got Colin Kaepernick working for Nike, and he's
Gehrig's Disease lawyer. So it's just wait, it's just well, it
has nothing to add to the story, but it was just a weird little
No, it does it because I think that's it's a tactic because
it's probably a Gary goes tactic. It's like, alright,
well, we're gonna mess with you over here because we need
something for you for our for for cap. And we're gonna make
some trouble over here. And by the way, I never heard a follow
up. It sounds totally plausible that Nike was, you know, the
Nikes. scandalously giving money to high school kids totally
believable. And I remember they came out and I think they
countersued and I don't know what happened to so and that's
also odd. So why didn't they vigorously defend that make a
big? Was there a lawsuit? Was there a court ruling? It kind of
fizzled away. So it sounds like shenanigans.
Yeah, so I just add that in there. It doesn't have any any
value to the timeline. It was just a weird little factoid.
Do you have another question? What the hell station did you
get that clip from where there's some British woman talking about
our
sport? That's the only place I could find anything on that
subject. Okay. All over the web. I mean, you know, I
see our future researchers. Yeah, you're researching. You
are so
just to give the audio backing or background I need it. That's
That's why I found it. So that's one lawsuit. I mean, but so now
Colin Kaepernick he ends up selling one With the NFL,
a surprise development happened just as we were walking into
studio. Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has settled his
lawsuit with the National Football League Kaepernick sued
the league last year, claiming 32 teams colluded to keep him
off the NFL roster because he was taking a knee during the
national anthem. Now, we don't know many details about the
settlement. But Kaepernick had previously signaled that only a
lucrative financial payout will convince him to drop the suit.
What does this mean? And what does it mean for Kaepernick
future he's 31 years old, you would have to think he could
still play if he wants. Fox News contributor she used to be at
ESPN where she thrived there. Britt McHenry with a rich sports
background Britt Michael Freeman a respected NFL reporters
reporting get this that he's getting $60 million. What does
that tell you?
It tells me Brian that money will make a problem go away or
it will make a social justice warrior really happy and really
rich but I have to tell you I did a little reporting on my own
I reached out to an NFL source of mine and NFL agent who said
he would be shocked if that was the number
well it was the number wasn't it was that it was high I thought
well the Wall Street Journal came back and reported that was
way low. We're talking about his single digit millions. So that
60 was right after the settlement had like closed
finalized. So I think that was attacked at this show. The
cabinet took put the NFL over the barrel kind of thing
in the law, and the lawsuit was specifically because he was
colluding because they were teams were colluding not to not
to not to hire it's
a black ball and white ball on Mojave spectrum Euro Well, yeah,
um, yeah, that was what it was. Stop
stop the show. Yes. Do you with your with your other friends?
Say white balling. Is that a blackballing? No, that's I just
want to make sure Okay, just checking man that's that's what
the show is about to I gotta lie. You want to know what's
going on? All right.
Yeah, so that's the world term for blackballing is
I'm gonna use that everywhere now. Hey, bro, Stuff White
balling me. Okay, um, just practice?
Yeah, so, um, but him settling didn't sit well with a lot of
people because what they tried to do was tie, Colin Kaepernick
and with Ali. That was the comparison. You know, a Muhammad
Ali for those people that don't know, which was a book, bullshit
comparison. Excuse my language. Because Muhammad Ali was the
best at his sport. Yes. And he refused to be used by the
military industrial complex, as we saw in previous shows, go
look at how they use our Joe Lewis. Because he wasn't, they
weren't, they'll put a gun to Ali's hand and you know, making
go fight in Vietnam.
They wanted to do the Elvis trick. You know, I was like,
Alright.
Yeah. We'll call the USO I believe are you where you go
around? And you know, do some exhibitions? I mean, they use
Joe Lewis Zack, same way in World War Two. Yeah. But I'll he
was like, No, I'm not going to do it. Now for for religious
reasons. That was his whole purpose. He said, I'm a minister
for the Nation of Islam. I'm not going to fight your war. And he
sat down for three years. He didn't settle. You know, he took
you notice that he spoke about the whole thing. So Colin
Kaepernick settling really hurt his case. And Steven a Smith
took issue with it. Well,
here's where the problem lies. What did you when Colin
Kaepernick. I want to know the money. I want to know what the
details of the settlement are. That's what I want to know. You
don't sit up there and get to get martyred by everybody and
their grandmother all of these years, over the last two years,
with everybody making a case about how he's being
blackballed. He's being ostracized and all of this other
stuff. You don't get to sit up there and send out tweets. Thank
you, Jana and other stars who refused to perform at halftime
for the Super Bowl and protest and supportive you because their
belief was that you had been blackballed, and as a nation of
folks, particularly from the minority community, that have
been standing up screaming, hooting and hollering about how
you have been ostracized, how you have been mistreated, and
then all of a sudden you quietly reach a settlement and we don't
know what the hell it entails. That's my problem with all of
this.
Everybody wants some a little taste of that money.
So Colin Kaepernick is on the outs again.
This is they're doing it very well whoever's running him
they're doing a good job
because he's like man you took you took the money you were
opposed to take the NFL owners to trial you know, expose them,
you know, for for white balling you. And that was the whole
purpose but for for his speaking from his backer standpoint of
view. Oh, This is what they wanted to show, you know, the
power structure that they can be on Sam, you know, made to kneel
for me pun intended, right? So here we are, present day, a NFL
so we were gonna go to one of the most official sports
references there is the real.
So last night it was announced for the NFL that Colin
Kaepernick was invited to a private workout in Atlanta this
Saturday, which means that this free agent man might have the
chance to play on the NFL team again. We all know if you did
it, but he stirred up some controversy in 2016 when he took
a knee to protest police brutality. So I want to know how
you guys feel about this chance of Colin being back on the NFL.
I think that what Colin kneeling for were still working on to try
to improve police brutality, but he brought attention to it
sacrificed a lot. And I just want to remind people that Colin
opted out of his contract in 2017. He was not fired. He opted
out to try to get more money. And then what happened was with
all the kneeling and everything, there was some controversy about
bringing him back. They had a settlement because there was a
lawsuit about a collusion to keep him out. They settled it.
It was confidential, the you know, what have ya so we don't
know actually what was the requirements, but then it just
seems like he was still getting
blackballed. Amen. Did the ladies have the real just alter
history there?
No, they laid it out perfectly like it was and that's why
that's why I use that clip. What did you find? As altered,
that he that he opted out of his contract in 2017. Maybe I
misunderstood.
That's very factual. He had one more year left with the San
Francisco 40, Niners and he opted out of that final year.
Okay.
Well, first of all, I now I'm happy that I know that I can
brush up on my football by watching the ladies of the real
happy about that. I like that. Okay,
so the, the the reason why I use this clip is to ask you the
other question you had about his celebrity. Now, do you see how
big it is? Big,
big? Yes. Gotcha.
So now, we're at present time. The skit though? Oh, was it last
Saturday? This the workout was in you made an astute
observation that this was a private combine. For Mr. Colin
Kaepernick. Nobody had ever seen this before one player combine,
were all at all it was what 25 teams were going to come to see
him showcase his abilities. But as expected on my part, it
didn't go off as planned. And it was it ended. And Mr. Colin
kapernick, coming from out of the shadows, and actually
getting from the microphones and having a rant.
Let me start by saying, I appreciate y'all coming out.
That means a lot to me. Our biggest thing with everything
today was making sure we had transparency of what went on. We
weren't getting that elsewhere. So we came out here. It's
important that you're here. Y'all been attacked for the last
three years. Y'all continue to be attacked. We appreciate what
y'all do. We appreciate you being here today. We appreciate
the work you do for the people and telling the truth. That's
what we want everything. Be ready for three years. I've been
denied for three years. We all know why I came out here
shoulder today in front of everybody. We have nothing to
hide. So we're waiting for the 32 owners to start the two
teams, Roger Goodell of them to stop running. Stop running from
the truth. Stop running from people. Around here. We're ready
to play. Ready to go anywhere. My agent Jeff Nalley is ready to
talk to any team. Interview a team at anytime. A band ready.
I'm staying ready. Now continue to be ready. And so all the
people that came out here today to support appreciate y'all. I
love y'all to the people that aren't here. I'm thinking about
you. I appreciate your support from where you are. We'll
continue to give you updates as we're here. We'll be waiting to
hear from Roger Goodell, the NFL the 32 teams will let you know
if we hear from them balls in their court. We're ready to go
so yeah, I saw this and I and I got my interest because I know
he doesn't talk. And I of course I learned that from you Okay,
and and I see him there. And I mean, here's what my spidey
sense, told me one, he's wearing his Nike shirt. Like, okay,
that's not you know, when, when you're a paid endorsement a
spokesmodel. You don't put it on for free. And you put it on when
you're told to put it on and and there's always something
associated with that. And the second one, he kept saying, We
ready, we ready, we ready. And to me that felt like a JUST DO
IT type thing. It felt like a campaign.
Yeah, the whole this whole thing was a media stunt. I mean, let
me be clear, because I'm biased. This whole thing was a media
stunt from both sides. The NFL put this thing on because
they're having their 100 year anniversary, and they wanted to
put a nice little bow on this whole Colin Kaepernick thing and
have it be over with, right. They know he don't want to play
football. They know this as we see it. Now. It's like, every
time this guy gets the opportunity to play football,
some as something happens where he blows it himself. So what
we're going to do is we're going to put on this huge spectacle in
Atlanta, in the blackest city in America and invite him on down.
And then we're gonna let him put the ball, we're gonna put the
ball in his court. What No, no, no, no, no,
then the handler's went to Katherine. Oh, no.
So what they did was three hours before the private workout was
posted began. They said, No, we're not doing that. We're
going to hold our own workout. And that's where this clip was
taken from, that we just heard. It was. Now if you have three if
you know you're not going to well, you know what, I'm gonna
let Stephen A Smith. And it's important that we use Stephen A
Smith throughout this whole story because they're juxtaposed
and we'll get to that, why and how they're juxtaposed in a
minute. But Stephen speaks on Khan Academy and doesn't want to
play he wants to be a martyr.
So let me get this straight. Colin Kaepernick has been
working out all of this time. Him, people in his camp is
closed ones loved ones everybody talks about he wants to play
football. He wants to play football. He's ready to play.
Just give him the tans. So what does the NFL do? Recognizing
that teams need a shield? Because they need something to
hide behind? Because they know that guess what? If we bring
this brother in for a workout and we don't like him or we
don't want him who knows what we're going to get accused of?
We need copper. So the NFL provides that I have no doubt
Jay Z's involved. I have no doubt Roger Goodell was involved
I have no doubt there's a host of people involved but
I liked his guy
nice he's a sports sports caster. Yeah.
Oh, he is the sports caster over ESP. Okay, gotcha. So this
happened this was Saturday afternoon at the Colin cabinet
makes his rent Steven a Smith you're saying is beside himself?
Because I think he kind of smells what's going on?
He's on he's totally on to it. He sees sees it or
Yeah, of course. But we're gonna let Stephen a spirit continue
about him being a martyr. This man,
one of the Champs 25 teams show up in Georgia. At the Atlanta
Falcons practice facility started off facility, NFL
personnel, equipment, everything, video, everything.
And what does Colin Kaepernick do? Not Tuesday, when he found
out about an hour Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
three hours before the workout
because of some issue with a liability waiver.
Colin Kaepernick wants to change the venue. Colin Kaepernick
wants his own receivers. Colin kapernick wants to video thinks
himself. Colin Kaepernick wants to media this Colin Kaepernick
media can't find him. He doesn't know interviews. He talks to
nobody media can't find him, but he wants to do it. He wants to
be available now. He don't want to play. He wants to be a mater,
an agent of change.
So a lot of he was he's been critical as we heard in previous
clips of Colin Kaepernick not voting. But other times he's
been supportive for Colin Kaepernick on his show. But
Colin Kaepernick not only didn't piss off Stephen A Smith, he
also was pissed off undisputed host Shane In a sharp,
I'm disappointed with how calf handled the situation. I think
everybody knows this watch this show for the last three years
Kip, I've been wanting to calf biggest supporters. You and I
talked talked about this, I believe every single day for
about three or four months, when everybody else touched on it at
the beginning and left the subject alone. You and I talked
about it. I talked to cap, I knew how much he wanted to get
back into league. And I even coined a term, coined the term
as the cap has been white ball that has not changed. But the
way he handled this situation skip now, key knew that he
received this on a very short notice. He could have said, you
know, I my representatives have just given me word that the NFL
has set up a workout for me. I will get back to you. As soon as
I know more details. He jumped in headfirst. So you knew this
was gonna be on a Saturday. He turns around because when he did
skip, he's in his camp and his supporters says the NFL wants to
control the narrative. Well, the NFL says we them should let you
control the narrative. And he walked into a trap that they
said what cap is trying to do is cap is trying to appease a
audience that has no role in him getting a job. You can showcase
your talent for the immediate all you want to you can try to
appease your fan base all you want to, but they will play no
role and you're getting the job. Can you show up to a job
interview with a cooter can t shirt?
J Yes, no, no, no. He should have a hoodie that just says,
Toby. Well, he can't do that. Of course not. He can't do that.
Just to give you that. Oh, man,
as as you know, always like to give context to the things that
you're saying that are happening. By cool. I'm out by
let's say Kaepernick. But why oh, I'm Colin Kaepernick showing
up with that.
Show title koonta Kaepernick, there you go. That'll get some
SEO delegates.
They can't take shirt home. by proxy. He's calling the NFL
owners were slave
owners. And just for there may be some younger listeners who
didn't grow up with Alex Haley's epic roots, the saga of an
American family. It's on Netflix. I'm sure it's a must
watch binge over the weekend, the Thanksgiving weekend.
So as you mentioned, Alitalia had a slave. Pizza slave. trauma
based entertainment, Carl roots.
Thanks. Thank you for saying that. Because when I say you
need to watch it. We have discussed this before. Maybe we
discussed it just on the phone, I think I don't think it was in
the show. It is totally trauma based entertainment. Absolutely.
In fact, very traumatic to watch.
To the point. My father said when he saw it, they went to
school the next day, and we got into brawls over it. Wow. So by
him using this icon of Kuta kente. He know he knew what one
he knew what how the billionaire petty, as we've laid out, owners
would take it and he knew what it was signify to his super woke
crowd that he that back soon. But for people that don't know
who called Tecate to Kuta Kente is I want to explain what the
significance of that is. I want to hear you say your name. Your
name is Toby. What's your name? Lord God helped him What's your
name? Toby say your name What's your name? Toby. Change again.
What's your name? Toby. My name is Toby
good. Yeah, that was the Yeah.
Ah. So in that scene, we have QA Colin Kaepernick playing the
role of cooltech kente. That won't be broken. He wants to he
wants to say his name is Toby
and we got the NFL and the owners saying it's Toby. And
who's
the third character in there? Steven a smooth. Oh Lord,
they're gonna break it boy.
Damn. They just took the old playbook.
Recycle that Dez perfect. Yes. And now people are saying well
mo you're going a little far out or
I don't I don't think so. At all. I totally see this. I mean,
it's okay. I stand up for you mo I will I will defend you on this
one.
to backup my claim Stephen A Smith sighs biggest contract at
ESPN history. I want to talk about Steven Naismith. According
to the NY Post, he has to basically sign a new deal to
become ESPN its highest paid talent on air personality in
their history. Okay, now this is according to the NY Post. So
Steven Naismith is about to make a lot more money. Okay. And
that's for the people who, you know, like them and the people
who don't, I know the people who don't are really going to like
this. Because quite frankly, Steven Naismith is going to be
Richard Smith is in line to become the highest paid on air
person at ESPN by potentially boosting his salary to 10
million per year according to the people with knowledge of
upcoming negotiations. Hmm This is the Boolean play. Yes, sir.
Stephen A. And you know what this clip is from March 6. They
don't find they don't finalize the deal. Until let it till last
week. Oh, how convenient. How convenient, which ESPN has which
is Disney has a lot of has a big contract with the NFL. And
they're no more than Gosh, Steven Naismith sizes, the
biggest contract in ESPN history. Right before he goes on
to attack. Public Enemy Number One as far as NFL concern, Colin
Kaepernick.
So he Okay, so his contract was done. Announce and then the
kapernick thing happens. Yes. No perfect timeline. So of course,
ESPN, Xenon it Oh, man. Yes. So what
you have is you have the Boulais versus the woke crowd. I'm
sorry, which the woke crowd is funded by Soros. People like
that and the Boulais or more establishments?
Well, you also made the right connection. ABC that they have
the contract for the games. I don't even know.
Yeah, well, ESPN, they show on Monday Night Football, right. So
they
own they own everything. Okay, so they own Stephen A Smith's do
they own? They own everybody except for this show. But we're
for sale for the right amount.
My name is coming to
I won't be I won't be broken.
Stephen A Smith in that in that story you just made up there. I
don't want to be the slave owner. No. All right.
No, no, what I'm saying is, that's the reason why we do this
because we nobody know will point these things out because
everybody has a vested interest on either sides. Right? I mean,
you know that that's why you do the no agenda show. Because if
you have sponsors, it's like shut up, Adam. Yes. You know.
Yeah, we refuse to do that. But this has came at a cost of Mr.
Steven Naismith. Oh, Terrell Owens confront Steven Naismith.
So what he wanted was transparency for people to see
the full workout to see the full Colin Kaepernick. Again, you
mentioned obviously Max is going to get in here. Like I said, I'm
in the streets. Max almost seems blacker than you, Steven A. with
with with what he was coming.
Here. With all due respect my brother, I'm just man. I'm gonna
check you right now. You don't cry. Just say Tomatometer. Wait
a minute, you don't cross the line. First of all, like I said,
You, Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid, any of y'all that wanted
to bait me in front of black people and talk about what's
best for black people. Name the time and place I'll show up. I
don't want to hear what's the definition of blackness is the a
definitive definition of blackness.
And now Terrell is a player right? Because he
was a former player, and he says that, Stephen A Smith's co hosts
Max Kellerman is black and is Stephen A Smith.
This would seem like an insult
of the highest order.
That's what I'm thinking. That's not a cool thing to say. And
this was on the air
Yes, this was on Stephen A Smith show and let me just give some
background. Steven Naismith sometimes takes the conservative
side of art because this debate shows him a max debate right and
to keep max for seeming like the racist white guy Steven by the
by the structure of the show you Steven a smear some most of the
time takes the conservative side and let's Mack argue the liberal
side so he didn't look like the races white guy right? Yes,
right. But if this crap has blown up and Steven Naismith
space, but let me just give a little point here, Steven
Naismith always like to say, I'm a black man. Before he prefaces
in the statement. Let his co host a white Jewish guy be
called blacker than him there. Oh,
this is best.
Terrell God goes on to invite max to the cookout
here and I know Max, you didn't have a chance to jump in and I'm
sure you want a response. Okay,
got a shot of explosive when to you said tongue in cheek. You
said that, Stephen that I seem blacker than Stephen A and
Stephen A obviously had to respond to that. And I want to
respond to that before I say what I originally wanted to say.
Which is first of all, I can't eat any more all the cookouts
I've been invited to like since this whole thing came up. I see
Stephen as having inherited not only your respect for authority,
but a working knowledge of reality and what it takes to get
ahead, no excuses. You can always look for excuses. You can
look for things to lean on. You can look for where it's not
perfect. Or you can do what you have to do, which is what Steven
Hayes done. And I would say that his his that your point of view,
Stephen A to Stephen A's point of view is not less black
necessarily than someone else's who's more strident. It is more
conservative in certain respects. And my point of view
is oftentimes more progressive. My own background is Jewish,
secular, not religious, but Jewish secular. So one of the
things you get around Passover is act like you are a slave in
Egypt. That's how I grew up. But you know, with that tradition of
always look at the oppressed and look for righteousness and
justice. And so I'm strident in that way. However, me myself I
did not have to go through the struggle like that.
Now explain the cookout? Is this just some old cookout? Where
cookout is this?
He made it to the cookout. Barbecue.
I want to be at the cookout.
So the cookout is this stupid thing that the woke people do?
When white people do something that's pleasing to them? They
say, Oh, he's invited to the cookout.
Oh, God, I'm learning so much today. It's certainly.
So it's not my definition. I'll let Busby explain to you what
the cookout is.
Well, the cookout to me is like we're blessed people come to the
blackity Black Flag all generations get together. That's
the one place you can like teach like the older generation is
most of vacation
true. A cookout is a safe place to be Well, friends and family
but good data is the only place where you don't have to code
switch.
It's immediate family and siblings, aunts, uncles,
cousins, neighbors, family friends. Take aunties fake
uncles.
It was my Haitian education school. That's where I learned
about my culture, my music, how to cook like the importance of
family members.
Can people find it the cookout? Okay,
you're not supposed to. Okay, it's sounds pretty holy. This
cookout business.
I mean, it's where if you're, and this is gonna piss some
people off, but this one good. So just beware. When you're a
black person, and you deal in white, mostly white places,
spaces a cookout to you? It's like this magical place of
blackness. You know, to me, it's some you know, some food on the
grill and you just kick back. Yeah, but if you're live in
whitespaces, what are they how they you term it, you know, to
be around a majority of black people or something magical to
them. And then to bring a white person into that is the highest
of the highest order of compliments that they bestow
upon a super white white person. He invited
to the cookout. He made it to the barbecue,
you know what, the cookout that's right
after cookout. So, it had to be like I said it had to be the
highest insult to to Steven a Smith because as not only does
Matt go on, he gets invited to the cookout that he goes on to
why explain the struggle? Why did you hear?
We talked about this point yesterday, and what you're
alluding to there, it's actually white privilege, black people
don't enjoy it. And I'm not giving up any privilege not a
single bit of privilege, but I will insist that all human
beings are so privileged and that includes Kaepernick and if
he wants to wear Kunta Kinte eight shirt Good for him.
So at what point are you following the story now you're
really angry because of what's happening to your your, your
relaxation, sport, football. This This must be this must be
maddening.
I'm so pissed and not about the row. This guy said he'd not
given up any of his player privilege, and that's who you
invite to the cookout? Are you serious? I mean, because to say
I have privilege is one special, I have a special say you can't
have privilege and they say everybody else has it too,
because that makes it not a privilege. Exactly. So I'll read
through his bullshit. It's like yeah, I got that. Super white
privilege, you know, and I let go and none of it. Are you are
you people? Are you not hearing him? And what got me pissed off
is under the comments of the Terrell Owens video, where he's
called Steven a word called call max blacker than Stephen A. And
invited max to the proverbial cookout. Everybody Yeah, yeah,
Max. He's super Whoa, yeah. Invite him to the cookout in
Kona Marco gonna do you know, he likes season meat. I'm like, Are
you gonna get a WUSA please yes, you can get a WUSA anytime you
need
this is great. Thank you. This is great. So as me Steven A had
an off with a cookout and Max irksome. Oh, great. Colin
Kaepernick. People have reached out to numerous folks. I was one
of them. They said he wants to play. It's not fair. He did this
for us. All he wants to do now is put this behind him he wants
to play. Will you help us? So it's rock nation. It's Jay Z and
the crew is the NFL and Roger Goodell went behind the backs of
the executive VPS because they didn't even know about the
workout. What happened was, he has to work out. And then after
the workout, he antagonizes the very commissioner who helped put
this together, told him to stop running, showed up with a Kuta
kente shirt on, you know, essentially it said we'll see
once again that's see that's where that's why I say you go to
that black barbecue or you want to, but let me tell you
something right now. You cannot have 31 White owners. You show
up with a cooter kit they shared a basically alluding to them as
slaves.
You gotta gotta show your hat in your hand and beg for the
opportunity to
see that's why I'm saying because the after this you gotta
leave you go go home as the I got to go in the black community
and deal with stuff just because you interrupted me to make that
point.
Wow. I'm speechless. One of these days. Stephen A Smith is
gonna put maximum hands on max.
Yeah. Sounds like it's shut up. Yeah, he's gone a bit far. Now.
Max.
Do you know because he like he does it all the time. He's, he's
he's, he's super duper Whoa, super duper Whoa. And they said
what she wants to do go what you had in your hand. I mean, he's
projecting these things onto the Steven Naismith and I don't know
if he realizes or not. He has to be aware of because Max is a
super super intelligent person. So it's like by you saying that
that's what Stephen A Smith means when he says that. It only
makes it worse.
Okay, now and this was this past week. These these clips. Yeah,
this is this is Thursday and Friday. Thursday was when this
is Thursday is when I decided to do this show. Because when I
heard the max is black and and Stephen A Smith. I hit my best
friend and my he's my confidant, you know, we talk about like,
how things are land. And I was like, do Did you see this crap?
And I was like, Yep, I gotta do a show on this. I gotta, I gotta
cover this because this is an Bucha right here.
Well, so you've set us up perfectly for what's what's
coming next. And I can only imagine with all these pieces on
the feet. I don't know what's happening in football land and
what what a great moment will be eat other than Super Bowl is the
only moment I know about. But it seems like we need a Nike
campaign a shoe. And in some kind of slogan or something we
need now he needs to cease needs to start cashing in. And we know
it's not going to be on playing ball.
Now the NFL that's why I said the NFL is part of this story is
a wrap. Because they proved to him prove to people that want to
see it. Colin Kaepernick doesn't want to play in the NFL, because
we gave him the opportunity to come showcase his talent. And he
pulled this. I mean, he did. His team did what was best for their
interests, and their interest is not playing football, is to be a
social justice icon. So I understand it from that
standpoint, I don't support it, but I understand what their
motives were. And NFL got what they want it because they got to
say, well, that's done. And now which is where there's Colin
Kaepernick go from here.
Well, exactly. And it's, it's going to be a complicated
affair. Because as far as so he got paid. He got he got millions
of 123 20. Who cares? 1 million is a lot of money. Mo
he's, we told you he signed the deal for what 126 million? Yeah,
I mean, it's not like he's heard from my I mean, that's
exactly but but Nike is in an interesting spot. So we're going
to see is the NFL, the koonta kente of Nike. Because Nike pays
a big ask Bill for all of this stuff. Nike controls a lot in
sports. So if they say hey, Kaepernick is our guy, and we're
gonna use him for the Wii ready campaign or whatever. antagonize
the NFL up to the Super Bowl. Maybe I don't I don't know
anything about the football. But it seems like that would be the
move. And I think it's gonna be interesting. They're probably
all in on it and just keep the controversy going. Money flows.
The controversy definitely helps Nike and NFL really can't fight
Nike because they're in bed with them.
Yeah, they already they already showed the NBA to shut up. Yeah,
so I mean, he's the daddy is everybody's Daddy. Yes, Mac.
Well, and I got this question for you might be the answer for
me. Now, when we talk about Nike versus the NFL, that's one thing
but when we talk about Nike versus Disney
here Yeah, well, oh, gosh, that's a good one. Because
Disney of course is the biggest parent company. The evil
Deathstar. Man there's so big there's so incredibly big, so
powerful.
And it's amazing that stitch Shannon's sharpening kit, any
blowback from his identical stance and Steven a Smith, right
Steven a Smith was labeled a bad guy who works for ESPN. Who is
the parent company of of daughter company of Disney, but
daughter company of Disney. Yes. So that's where we add
Alright, so what do you think what do you think's gonna
happen? What do what are we what are we look out for?
I think something's gonna flare back up again around the
Superbowl time because Mr. Jay Z. He's the he's been hired.
Yes, they've been planning.
He's like a wedding planner for football.
Glorified event planner. I mean, let's be honest here. So I'm
sure the woke crowd will have something to say about candles
that the performances of the of the NFL
alright, I'll make a prediction roll. I'll make a prediction.
Yes, I'll make one. You will not believe the Nike commercial
you'll see during the Superbowl that would be my prediction.
Wait one minute, wait one minute almost slipped something out of
here. Okay, so there was the article with the Colin
Kaepernick said he's gonna schedule another workout this
spring and he's gonna take it to wherever the South Florida where
the NFL owners hold their hold their yearly conference it Uh
huh. But that's after the Super Bowl. Right? That's after Super
Bowl. So I mean, that's that's their plan for next season.
Yeah, you gotta keep the
course. You got you gotta gotta keep the Colin Kaepernick show
going.
He's gotten he's got picked up he's got another season so he
might as well the series is doing well. If you can do three
more years you can go into syndication and live forever.
Wow. Mo thank you so much for for unfolding this. Then again,
I learned a lot really because not just because I'm a white guy
is because I don't know football. And that really, and I
took copious show notes. So there'll be in the show notes,
which are all linked to Edmo facts.com. And this is good.
Thank you so much. As you know, there's a couple people I want
to keep my eye on. Is you still with the same girlfriend? Tab?
Yes. Okay. keep my eye on her. And she's still tweet and we do
that or did she stop tweeting? Did she wish she
did and she's still she's still working she still works and she
has an ordinary career on television in radio and other
things. So it's this weird thing that he you know, he takes all
the action or takes all the brunt of the the blows and then
she she gets to live her life. I mean, he to me, he's the use of
ATM and a puppet. And so
and a fantastic Outro Song for this show. Which relates to
content Kaepernick. I'm just gonna say it on the show. I
won't say it anywhere else. It's just between you and me. This is
between you hey I'm the Steven A they're so thank you, man. This
is great. I cannot wait to do it all over again on Monday
after cookout Yeah.
