Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to be spending his days watching U.S. sports and tweeting. As Twitchy reported Tuesday, Ahmadinejad came to the defense of Serena Williams’ “catsuit” that was banned from the French Open, making an ironic statement about freedom in the process:
Why is the #FrenchOpen disrespecting @serenawilliams ? Unfortunately some people in all Countries including my Country, haven't realized the true meaning of freedom.

Now he seems bummed that the NFL season isn’t going to include Colin Kaepernick, “one of the best Quarterbacks in the league.” That’s pretty high praise — it’s not like Kaepernick actually burned an American flag on the field; he just knelt during the anthem.

Sounds like every leftist who never watched Kaepernick but ‘knows’ that he’s super great. One. Good. Season. 5 years ago.

If he were one of the best QB's in the League, he would be on a team.

He’s not in the league because he’s an awful quarterback and a distraction at best.

Here's the thing, you can argue Kaepernick should be on a team, to say he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league is asinine https://t.co/cKH7loYjNZ

Yeah, "one of the best" is probably a stretch……

Your take on football is as rational as your other beliefs.

Invite him to play for Iranian's national soccer team. Then dare him to take a knee.
