Though he claimed that he was doing this to protest against racial inequality in America, many saw this as a clear sign of disrespect to the American flag, and those who have fought and died for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since he left the 49ers early in 2017, and liberals have tried to turn him into a martyr since then, claiming that he has been blacklisted by the league because it is \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others, however, have pointed out that Kaepernick led the 49ers to an abysmal losing record in 2016, so it\u2019s likely his own lack of football skills that have led to him not being signed again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kaepernick Compares NFL To Slavery \u2013 Then Wants Back In<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a Netflix special that aired in the fall, Kaepernick outrageously compared the NFL to slavery. Bizarrely, he has since changed his tune, and has taken to effectively begging the NFL to take him back as of late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me compete,\u201d he said last month. \u201cYou can evaluate me from there. The NFL\u2019s supposed to be a meritocracy. Let me compete. If I\u2019m not good enough, get rid of me. But let me come in and show you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I have to find my way back in. So, if I have to come in as a backup, that\u2019s fine,\u201d Kaepernick later added. \u201cBut that\u2019s not where I\u2019m staying. And when I prove that I\u2019m a starter, I want to be able to step on the field as such. I just need that opportunity to walk through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Story: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themix.net\/2022\/04\/colin-kaepernick-mocked-for-wanting-to-return-to-nfl-after-comparing-league-to-slavery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colin Kaepernick Mocked For Wanting To Return To NFL After Comparing League To Slavery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it\u2019s an insult to doctors everywhere that Kaepernick is about to become one.
