Poor Colin Kaepernick… what’s a celebrity racist, Black Lives Matter asshat to do? He was just listed as the backup quarterback for the 49ers. Looks like he’ll be doing a whole lot more sitting. Kaepernick did make the 53-man roster, but Blaine Gabbert will be the starting quarterback. Now, leftists and BLMers are throwing the race card… why you might ask? Well, because Kaeparnick is half white and Gabbert is 100% white. I kid you not. What a bunch of moronic horse doo doo.

Behold the whining of leftist racists:

Let me tell you something, Coach Kelly loves the military AND the police. But more than anything, he loves football and his team. I’m sure he hates what Kaepernick did and is doing, but he’s not a racist. Never has been. This isn’t the first time that he’s been called that name either. When he coached the Philly Eagles, that term was bantered around as well. Black players put a stop to it… they thought the coach was an “a**hole” to all players, but he wasn’t a racist.

Gee, could it be that Gabbert is (gasp!) just better than Kaepernick? Guess we can’t have that now, can we?

From BizPac Review:

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who likes to sit for the national anthem, is going to be doing a lot more sitting.

On Saturday head coach Chip Kelly named Blaine Gabbert as the team’s starting quarterback, making the “oppressed” multi-millionaire Kaepernick the bench riding backup.

Despite the fact that Kaepernick missed two of the team’s four preseason games, and a week and a half of practice, with tightness in his right shoulder, Kaepernick supporters on social media had their own conspiracy theory as to why the controversial quarterback was not named the starter.

One has to wonder if the one-time Super Bowl starting quarterback must be doing this for attention. Considering his career is waning and other quarterbacks are beating him out for first string, I think there is a good chance of that. What I’m disappointed over is that he wasn’t just cut from the lineup altogether. Police officers are threatening to not provide security for the 49ers over this and I don’t blame them.

All of that aside, there is no doubt here this isn’t about race. Gabbert is simply better. Chip Kelly informed his quarterbacks of his decision this morning. Colin Kaepernick will enter the 2016 season as the No. 2 quarterback. Christian Ponder will be inactive on game day as third-string. Gabbert completed 12-of-22 pass attempts for 146 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the preseason. He wasn’t sacked in any of his three starts.

As for Kaepernick, the goal for now is to continue adding strength. Kelly pointed to Kaepernick’s near two-week training camp absence due to arm fatigue as a factor in him being the No. 2 option.

The coach went by performance… not race or political stance. Isn’t that what you want in a winning coach?
