Oh, look, Colin Kaepernick is in the news again.
Sorta.
Does it even count if it's the Washington Post we're talking about? That seems debatable ... especially when they come up with something this stupid.
The Super Bowl is being played in Colin Kaepernick's former home stadium, at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront nearly 10 years ago, after he kneeled during the national anthem before a 49ers game. https://t.co/TX2l7r7msx

What?
From WaPo (Sorry):
Colin Kaepernick might as well be a ghost.
Don't worry, we won't subject you to any more of it. It's astonishing to this managing editor that another managing editor would ever let this go ... Kaepernick hasn't been relevant in a long time and ironically, he did it to himself.
Not to mention, he doesn't sound like the nicest person:

I'm also convinced that if WaPo didn't publish woke pieces that try to turn Superbowl Sunday into a political reckoning, they might still have…

You understand that publishing this kind of thing means your movement failed and is dead now, right?

Good point. If what Kaepernick had done really mattered, we wouldn't be here reading this garbage about him.
You need to fire more writers.
