The NAACP is asking fans to boycott attending all NFL games as well as watching at home until Colin Kaepernick is gifted a job. An NAACP leader in Atlanta gave the following information.
"There will be no football if Colin Kaepernick is not on a training camp roster and given an opportunity to pursue his career," said Gerald Griggs from Atlanta NAACP. "This is not a simple request. This is a statement. This is a demand.and if Mr. Kaepernick is not allowed to pursue his career, then on September the 17th, we are going to have the world's largest tailgate. We will take a knee, and we will continue to take a knee on the NFL until they act with one voice."
Perhaps I'm not swarthy enough to understand how Kaepernick OPTING OUT OF HIS CONTRACT equals the NFL not allowing him to pursue his career but I'm taking a hard pass on the boycott and look forward to watching as many games as possible and hopefully attending several.
I'm sure at least several of the regulars on this board will honor the boycott after all the support that has been given Kap and his pal spike lee. Let's see a show of hands of those posters who will boycott.
