Kid Rock delivered a mixed message Sunday at the Iowa Sate Fair, breaking from his song “Born Free” to summarily criticize Colin Kaepernick.
The country rock star essentially said “Screw Kaep” — despite keeping the concert otherwise politics-free.
“Football’s about ready to start,” Kid Rock told the crowd during the song, according to the Des Moines Register. “You know what? (Expletive) Colin Kaepernick.”
That’s a strong sentiment about the controversial quarterback who made waves while with the 49ers last season by protesting the national anthem. The 49ers players voted Kaepernick their most inspirational and courageous teammate, while Kid Rock just cussed out Kaepernick — who has yet to sign with an NFL team.
