Aller / Getty Images) Colin Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since 2016. After leading the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in the 2012-2013 season, his success as a quarterback tapered off significantly.
Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers in March 2017. That season he had been benched in favor of journeyman Blaine Gabbert as the 49ers limped to an abysmal 2-14 record.
Kaepernick was not signed during free agency, probably because teams determined his anti-American stunts would cause more trouble than he was worth.
If Kaepernick had been good enough to start in the NFL, some teams no doubt would have been willing to overlook his anthem protests . However, no front office was going to tolerate such antics from a backup quarterback who may never see the field.
That’s clearly what Kaepernick is — a backup at best. Yet an annual EA Sports video game is trying to push a different narrative.
“Colin Kaepernick is one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback,” Madden NFL 22 said in a statement posted on Twitter in September. “The team at EA Sports, along with millions of Madden NFL fans, want to see him back in our game.” Both of the above statements are dubious. First of all, the assertion that Kaepernick was “one of the best free agents in football” in 2020 despite being over three years removed from the league is ridiculous.
Second, the idea that millions of people actually want the washed-up Kaepernick included in the Madden franchise seems unlikely. If they do, it’s because they want to praise him for his leftist views, not his skills on the football field.

If there were a social justice video game where fans could play as Kaepernick as he held up picket signs and wore clothing depicting police officers as pigs, that would be appropriate.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
