San Francisco 49ers - Page 10

People tend to stick to what they’re good at, in life. The 49ers, are not very good at football. However, they’re quite good at political activism. Therefore, since winning football games isn’t something that’s going to happen for them, the 9ers are now trying to convince their fans that they should focus on other things.

As the National Football League’s 2017 Week 7 wound down, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was once again speaking out about the now pervasive protests against the country staged by players during the playing of the national anthem with Jones insisting that the league is suffering “negative” consequences over the continuing protests.

If anthem protests counted as wins, the 49ers would have ranked as one of the best football teams in the NFL on Sunday. Instead, the winless 49ers will have to settle for merely being good at anthem protesting.

A substantially smaller number of 49ers knelt during the anthem, for their game against the Washington Redskins. Last week, more than 20 49ers knelt, and this week, league Commissioner Roger Goodell also issued a memo, saying it was time to “put the anthem controversy behind us.”

Vice President Mike Pence headed west for three days of fundraising after walking out of the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium after several players on the opposing San Francisco 49ers took a knee during the national anthem.

The San Francisco 49ers elected to continue the national anthem protests, this weekend, this time protesting as a team and issuing a statement proclaiming “unity” in defiance of those who might disapprove.

When we were kids, I think most of us had dreams of running into professional athletes and having them do something really special for us. However, and this is just a guess, I don’t think many of us dreamed we’d be wearing the jersey of a radical, anti-American activist and then have players reward us with free gaming systems.

A reporter for Sports Illustrated was oddly surprised when football fans assumed he was making a political statement by wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey at a recent Bills-Jets game.

In a press conference leading up to his team’s season opening matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton said that it is “unfair” that former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains a free agent. Kaepernick protested

Despite repeated claims that he was going to stop his protests during the playing of the national anthem, San Francisco 49ers defensive back Eric Reid decided to reverse course and took a knee during the song as this weekend’s game started.

After being hired by the San Francisco 49ers as the team’s newest assistant coach, Katie Sowers becomes only the second female coach in the NFL. But, she also becomes the first openly gay coach in the league.

Few people, if any, keep track of ratings or public approval numbers for the Smithsonian. However, if they did, those numbers would soon go down dramatically. Why? Because the man who single-handedly accomplished the nearly impossible feat of turning America against its favorite game, is about to get his own exhibit.

San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch does not feel that protesting during the playing of the national anthem at football games is very helpful. In fact, he thinks it is “divisive.”

Last season, San Francisco 49er Eric Reed joined Colin Kaepernick to take a knee during the playing of the national anthem at the start of each game. At the close of the season, Reed announced that he would stand to honor the anthem and would end his protest starting this season. Reed has now confirmed his decision and said that even the unrest in Charlottesville would not change his mind.

The controversy in the NFL over anti-American protester Colin Kaepernick’s continued unemployment is still raging, and more voices are now coming to his support. This week, the Eagles’ Malcolm Jenkins is attacking all the teams that have refused to give Kaepernick a job.

A liberal sports writer who long ago joined team Kaepernick is now moving the goal posts about just what the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was doing with his year-long, anti-American protest. Now, the columnist is claiming Colin Kaepernick was “protesting capitalism.”

During an appearance on San Francisco’s KNBR radio, Lynch made it clear that he had no doubts about Kaepernick’s dedication to football.

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has his share of doubters and detractors out there. However, the coach who drafted him is not one of them.

On Tuesday, Shaun King, the “senior justice writer” for the New York Daily News, announced his boycott of the National Football League. The former black lives matter spokesman, deposed when it was discovered that he is white, not the African American he claimed to be, accused the NFL of being “bigoted” against black people.

The sports media is just now learning what was apparent to conservatives and Republicans all last season: that Colin Kaepernick cares an awful lot more about politics than he does about football.

Former ESPN host and Fox Sports commentator Jason Whitlock slammed the sports media for its drift toward left-wing politics, criticized former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for his faux anti-American protests, and even stuck up for Breitbart Sports.

Last year, after some players used the sport to protest against the country, the U.S. Women’s National soccer team added a rule requiring all players to stand for the playing of the national anthem. But, one of the players whose actions forced the rule by refusing to stand, Megan Rapinoe, is insisting that she won’t stop speaking out about social issues no matter what rules the team implements.

The hot topic for sports media is still that NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not yet signed anywhere as a free agent, and at least one commentator now says that Kaepernick will never shake the accusation that he hates America.

As more members of the media discover that San Francisco 49ers second-string quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s free agency is going ignored by the NFL, many are pegging his failure an example of “racism.”

After spending half the season perpetrating an anti-American protest against the national anthem, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced his free agency. But, as many other players have been snapped up, Kaepernick has thus far gone ignored by the NFL. Now, sports writer Mike Freeman, searching for a reason for the player’s fall, ultimately decided that Kaepernick is being punished for “the crime of speaking his mind.”

San Francisco 49ers second-string quarterback Colin Kaepernick became the talk of the league this year with his anti-American protests against the national anthem. Kaepernick recently declared his free agency then announced he would end his refusal to stand for the national anthem. But, even with the league’s free agents being snapped up at a quickening pace, it appears that Kaepernick is being ignored, thus far going unsigned.
