The NFL Players’ Association union is still bestowing accolades upon Colin Kaepernick. The NFLPA awarded him a “community outreach” award for 2017, even though Kaepernick is no longer an NFL football player.
Last week, the NFL Player’s Association (NFLPA) awarded Kaepernick its Community MVP after he gave away $900,000 to various liberal causes and organizations.
The NFLPA celebrated Kaepernick after he made his ninth $100,000 donation to a non-profit organization, according to Niners Wire:
Kaepernick’s most recent donation went to help illegal aliens fly to the nation’s capital, to protest the Trump administration as it mulls a change in Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policies.
The former San Francisco 49er has been donating money in $100,000 blocks after pledging to donate over a million dollars to his favored causes.
“I will donate $1 million plus all the proceeds of my jersey sales from the 2016 season to organizations working in oppressed communities — $100,000 a month for 10 months,” Kaepernick said in December of last year.
The out-of-work quarterback has donated to such causes as Meals On Wheels, the immigrant organization United We Dream, the left-wing group War On Children, a New York group named DREAM, and a long list of other groups located in various cities across the nation.
