Former NBC sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya is wasting little time making headlines in her new career. Tafoya, who now works as a campaign operative for Republican Kendall Qualls in the Minnesaota gubernatorial race, appeared on the Megyn Kelly Show and discussed why former San Francisco 49ers quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick is not suiting up to play football games in the NFL.
Her assessment could not have been more accurate: “If he really, really wanted — If the one thing he wanted in this life was to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, he’d be one right now, given that he had the talent,” Tafoya said. “But, he made some business decisions… I think he knew what he was risking, and I think that there are some legitimate complaints about race in the NFL and everywhere else in America — but that’s not why Colin Kaepernick’s not in the NFL.” Michele Tafoya speaks on Colin Kaepernick’s career less than 24 hours after she retired from broadcasting😬 pic.twitter.com/SQgH1CwYAS — Frank (@frankcrewchief) February 15, 2022 Talk about coming out swinging to start your new life adventure.
Of course, Tafoya is right. Despite the fact that Kaepernick was on the downswing of his NFL career when he began protesting the national anthem, he still had enough talent to get a starting job in the NFL if he really wanted to. But he chose to make himself a self-proclaimed martyr, and because his “crusade” involved spreading an incredibly divisive message that alienated the majority of the NFL’s fanbase, NFL owners considered he was not worth the business risk.
Apparently, all her time at the liberal media hotbed that is NBC did not rob Tafoya of the ability to reason and look at things logically, unlike most of her critics.
Predictably, her response triggered plenty of Twitter responses similar […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
