Colts backup QB search just latest reminder Colin Kaepernick not welcome in the NFL

NY Post  "Here are some of the quarterbacks with whom the Colts, now in search of a backup quarterback to Jacoby Brissett, have visited in the week since Andrew Luck shocked the football world by retiring:
  • Brock Osweiler, such a crackerjack at the position that he once got released by the Browns after they’d traded for him because they liked DeShone Kizer better than they liked him.
  • Matt Cassel, who is 37, who had his best year 11 years ago with the Patriots when Tom Brady got hurt, and whose last start was with the Titans two years.
  • Brandon Weeden, on the verge of turning 36, no throws in the NFL in four years, sparkling lifetime record of 6-19 as a starter. You know who’s better than him? Everyone.
"But the Colts aren’t even interested in talking, at least so far, to Colin Kaepernick, who the last time he played for the 49ers threw 16 touchdown passes against four interceptions. Kaepernick is 31 years old and hasn’t played professional football in three years because he’s being blackballed by a professional sports league for political beliefs. That’s it, and that’s all. He’s been blackballed since he began taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem during the 2016 season as his way of protesting racial injustice." . . .

And, of course, the stalking of police officers who have been victims of assaults by many whom Kaepernick and flag-stomping soccer player Rapinoe ostentatiously honor.
Kaepernick has inspired others to follow in his footsteps who were honored to be chosen as the Democrat US Secretary of State to replace Mike Pompeo.
Who would she represent the interests of, the US or the Chinese? Here she is at right in one of her frequent "look-at-me" moments. TD

Woman Arrested for Burning American Flag on I-66 Overpass: PoliceI checked and it was not Inslee's Secretary of State. 
"Kayla Caniff, 22, was charged with property destruction after police say she burned a flag attached to a chain link fence on the N. Stafford Street overpass, north of the Ballston area, at about 11:55 p.m. Thursday. An officer saw the flag burning."The next day, the county fire department placed 16 flags on I-66 overpasses to honor 9/11 victims. They unfurled a giant American flag at their Fire Training Academy." . . .
