The Guardian:

Aaron Rodgers: racial injustice is 'real' and Kaepernick should be in NFL

Aaron Rodgers, arguably the best player in the NFL, believes his fellow quarterback Colin Kaepernick deserves to be playing in the league

The Guardian:

Aaron Rodgers, arguably the best player in the NFL, believes his fellow quarterback Colin Kaepernick deserves to be playing in the league and his continued absence is due to his protest over racial injustice in the US.

The former San Francisco 49ers player became a controversial figure last year after he refused to stand for the national anthem in what he called a protest against oppression of people of color. He opted out of his contract in March and became a free agent, but so far, no NFL teams have signed him for the upcoming season, which kicks off next week.

“I think [Kaepernick] should be on a roster right now,” Rodgers says in a wide ranging interview with ESPN published on Wednesday. “I think because of his protests, he’s not.”

In the interview, Rodgers said he would not join in the protests – which have continued into the current pre-season – but was “100% supportive” of players who chose to express their feelings. He added that the US needs to “remedy and improve” racial equality, and that he wanted to improve his understanding of the subject. “I think the best way I can say this is: I don’t understand what it’s like to be in that situation. What it is to be pulled over, or profiled, or any number of issues that have happened, that Colin was referencing — or any of my team-mates have talked to me about … But I know it’s a real thing my black team-mates have to deal with.”

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is 100% right on.

uhh fellow WERIDOS... I am in a Pickle.

Recently my landlord raised my rent by some $30+. Next month's electric bill is unexpectedly high, and I haven't had the chance yet to pay my car loan. While my situation is not dire, I am feeling veryy pressed for funds rn. My car loan is due by I think.... The 19th which, yes, is tmrw, but I have a period of several days to pay it so Im not worried about late fees.

I'm asking for some help to handle these bills if you're able! The car payment is going to be $233.82, and the electric bill is $141.95. Im mostly concerned abt that car payment though... I wasn't going to post abt any of this bc for all my commie ideals I feel so ashamed and like it's my own fault when I'm strapped for cash... Like it's something I did wrong somehow. Idk. But there's no shame in asking for help! I wish I could promise smth, a reward, idk but I dont want to make false promises and I simply dont have the time to provide anything like that... All I can gurantee is that with financial concerns off my back I have more time to be creative and create for the fan bases Im in!

Okay. Lemme see.

HERE is my kofi.

my paypal is greymist1@live.com.

my venmo is @Rayanne-Whatley [we will all look away from tht name together okay]

Shares are oh so appreciated! Thanks sm for any of your support - a dollar can go a long way - and if you can't or don't want to donate, that's cool, too!

Thanks sm!💿🖤🪐
