We make an effort to keep politics out of this blog. But in this case we don’t have much of a choice, do we?
We are going to have to discuss Colin Kaepernick.
Again.
This week set it in stone: Kaepernick is officially a signpost in history. When historians write important books about these terrible times of flames, violence and anger, there will be at least a chapter on Kaepernick, his social stand and whether he was ostracized from the NFL.
The symbolism is simply too pure and obvious. Kaepernick was vilified for putting his knee down during the national anthem.
