Hollywood director Adam McKay (“Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights,” “The Big Short”) isn’t new to helping lump politics and sports together, and Colin Kaepernick remaining a free agent after the Miami Dolphins took a pass on the Fidel Castro supporter has angered the SNL writing staff alum:
If Kaepernick is black balled I have to boycott NFL. Love football but banning a guy for using Constitutional right to protest=anti-American

McKay got plenty of support, such as this:
I agree. Shutting off all #NFL stuff (taking a knee) until #Kaepernick is signed. Devoted fan for 50 years. #NFLBoycott https://t.co/imM7VuzPTs

Others, including these tweeters, saw it differently:
Irony: Calling NFL owners "anti-American" for not employing a player who hates America. #NFLBoycott https://t.co/uNlBsNb8jb

Yea, God forbid he is a below mediocre QB who would be lucky to be on a practice squad. Let's continue to make this about virtue signaling. https://t.co/vcClm3rdMQ
