It may be a case of bad timing, but many of Kaepernicks problems have arose since he statrted changing his life because of the influence of his girlfriend.
He became a vegan in 2015 and lost a ton of weight. At first he tried to lie about it, butit was so obvious that he ahd to admit it. Then he tried to blame it on offseason surgeries, but none of them would have kept him from eating enough to lose that much weight.
And it is clear that he became much more socially active after he started dating Nessa Diab. If his activism ends up hurting his career then it is clear that it was initiated by dating Nessa.
I really have no problem with professional athletes protesting, but Colin just mucked it all up. He started protesting before he was doing a lot of other stuff to address the problems of blacks in America. Then he started protestring with no real goal in sight. he neevr said exactly what had to change before he would stand again for the national anthem. If you are going to activiely protest you have to have a clear goal. Not just saying "until things get better".
Then the "pig" socks and Che Guevera t-shirts made it look like he was just trying to stir up trouble instaed of actually address problems.
The protest would not have been so bad if he had just done it a little smarter.
