Though he claimed that he was doing this to protest racial inequality in America, many saw it as a sign of disrespect towards the American flag and those who have fought and died for it.<\/p>\n<p>Liberals love to portray Kaepernick as a martyr who has not been re-signed by another team in over five years because the NFL is \u201cracist.\u201d Others, however, have pointed out that Kaepernick led the 49ers to an abysmal losing record during his final season with the team, so it\u2019s likely his lack of football talent that has made him unsignable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Kaepernick Claims He Still Has \u2018Dreams\u2019 About Playing In NFL<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10728343\/Colin-Kaepernick-says-badly-wants-play-NFL-gives-camera-years.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail<\/a> reported that though Kaepernick was comparing the NFL to slavery as recently as last fall, he claimed in his latest interview that he still has \u201cdreams\u201d about playing in the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had that dreams since I was a kid. I\u2019m going to be an NFL player \u2013 and win the Super Bowl,\u201d he said. \u201cFor me, I\u2019ve got unfinished business on that front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether he\u2019s shaming the NFL or shaming America at large, Kaepernick has spent years attacking the values of football fans. Here\u2019s hoping that NFL teams see through this nonsense, and leave Kaepernick in retirement where he belongs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick compared the NFL to slavery last fall in his Netflix docuseries \u201cColin In Black &#038; White.\u201d Now he\u2019s singing a different tune,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":505,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1445444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/505"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1445444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1445444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1445444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1445444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
