Colin Kaepernick’s Mom Breaks Her Silence Against Her Son

Colin Kaepernick has been making headlines recently for his refusal to stand during the National Anthem. He has publicly stated that by sitting, he was standing up for minorities who are oppressed every day. It has caused a lot of public outrage, and perhaps the harshest response came from his own mother.

She didn’t hold back when discussing her feelings on her son’s protest. You won’t believe what she had to say:

Colin’s birthmom gave him up for adoption when he was just 6 weeks old. He was adopted by Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, who are both white. Rick and Teresa had lost 2 of their own sons to heart defects and were looking for a boy to fill their void.

He would become the youngest of 3 children, growing up with older brother Kyle and sister Devon Kaepernick.

Before getting to his mother’s public outrage, first take a look at who Colin really is.

He is a devout Christian. Many of the tattoos on his body reference the bible. On his right arm, there’s a scroll with the verse Psalm 18:39 written on it. Underneath that scroll is the phrase “To God The Glory” with praying hands.

On his left arm, there’s a crucifix with “Heaven Sent” on it with “God Will Guide Me” around it. His back also has a large tattoo of angels fighting against demons.

It is his girlfriend that controls his mind. She is involved with BLM.

Facts: He has a losing record in the NFL. He chose to walk away from an $18 million dollar contract to become a free agent. This guy has to be the biggest idiot in the world. He turned down $18 million dollars! He doesn't have a job because he doesn't win. And let's face it being disruptive in the locker room never helps.

Parents can be geniuses. What can never be fixed is STUPID!

Colin is stupid. If suggested above that he's listening to his girlfriend - further proof of STUPID!

Nothing else really to discuss!

He made his bed, now he has to lie in it.
You hate your country and your flag?
Okay, that is your right, but doesn't mean we have to like you back!
As a matter of fact I see you as a traitor! If you like Africa so much, maybe you should go there and live where you can bad mouth us all you want. Enjoy your life in a third world country. Maybe then, you will see just how good you had it here.

I love my country, but not just because it is my country or the country that I was born in.

I love the freedom and liberty this country offers.

Once pledging to anything becomes compulsory or demanded... we are no longer free. The very idea flies in the face of liberty and is an insult to our freedom.

One of our protected rights is to peaceful protest. Why do we accost a man who exercises his rights?

Have we forgotten why it is that this country I love is great? Have we forgotten how precious liberty is?

He is not a devout Christian. He is a former Christian. He is now a Muslim. The article is not accurate.

So your mad because other people don't share Colin opinion? You think it's NOT American to openly disagree with someone? A lot of players aren't standing and are making millions because they perform and aren't FRAGILE. You can't see how hypocritical your comment is.

How is he accosted? Worth millions. He quit the 49ers they let him ride the bench for extra few million. He took a sperate insurance police on himself in case his shoulder was damaged again and needed surgery. Once his running game was over he couldn't play good enough and he CANNOT TAKE A HIT! Then he says out of nowhere he is oppressed but supports Castro. Your being accosted by a CON MAN that has never registered to VOTE but made 1.2 million in endorsements telling people how important it is to vote.
