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.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

people really just read books like “no thoughts head empty 🤪”

Every interaction I had with a true crime enthusiast left me with hot tears in my eyes because they were treating the cases of mmiw, from Pickton's victims to current mmiw like Ashley Loring HeavyRunner like it was a fun intellectual puzzle or a gory horror movie for them to gawk at or make a "dead h***ker" comment.

Anyway everyone should donate to indigenous survivor led orgs for missing and murdered indigenous relatives like The Sovereign Bodies Institute.

The fictional villain-woman who relies on infinite abortions instead of birth control has my full support. Her infinite abortions should be paid for by taxes, actually.

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.
