Usually presidents like to brag about creating jobs. Last night, Donald Trump took credit for keeping someone unemployed.
Nearly two weeks into the NFL’s free agency period, former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned.
One AFC general manager, speaking anonymously to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman, estimated that 10 percent of teams (3.2?) were afraid of the backlash a tweet from President Trump about Kaepernick would create.
That was apparently enough for the commander-in-chief to shift midstream from talking about the country’s urban communities to take credit for keeping Kaepernick jobless.
"Our inner cities will find a rebirth of hope, safety and opportunity," Trump said before shifting awkwardly to Kaepernick.
