Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick reminds us of why the NFL has been slipping in popularity.
He is raising a lot of money to honor a convicted cop-killer.

“Colin Kaepernick said Friday he has raised $20,000 for Assata’s Daughters, named after convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, through matching donations from his celebrity friends as part of his Million Dollar Pledge.”
Here is his original post.

Yet again, this is why Trump won the NFL is down.
It will be interesting to see how many Americans decide to do other things that watch the game.
