People Are Outraged Tim Tebow Got Signed Before Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the National Anthem in protest of racist policing, and his entire career got destroyed. There are still a lot of people who insist that the reason Kaepernick isn’t on the field is that he’s been out of the game too long, not because the NFL is afraid of its racist fan base.

That argument was blown up On Monday when it was announced that Tim Tebow got signed back on to the NFL with the Jaguars, according to ESPN.

Tebow is the new tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, though he’s never played the position in his career. He also hasn’t played for the league since 2012.

Seems suspicious that this guy could get another go and Kaepernick can’t find a place on a team.

So this guy gets a job at a new position and after leaving to play a different sport, but @Kaepernick7 is still not playing football….interesting

The tweets started rolling in, pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation, making it clear that no one is buying that Tebow is ready to play and Kaepernick isn’t:

But no one will sign Colin Kaepernick because hE hASn’T pLayEd in ForEvER and He woUlD bE a DiSTracTioN

Tim Tebow hasn’t played football in 6 years and will be 34 heading into training camp and he just signed with the Jags. From here on out, I don’t ever want to hear another word about how Colin Kaepernick isn’t good enough for another shot in the NFL.

There’s no way you can tell me that Tim Tebow deserves to be on a team as an unproven tight end who hasn’t played in 9 years more than Colin Kaepernick. There’s just no way that’s gonna make sense.

Tebow – Hasn’t played in the NFL since 2012. Gets another shot.

Kaepernick – Hasn’t played since 2016. Gets nothing.

Remember, Colin Kaepernick isn’t in the NFL because…
– “he was a terrible QB”
– “he brings a media circus everywhere”
– “he hasn’t played in years”
– “kneeling is disrespectful” pic.twitter.com/12vwtUlTIz

On Tuesday, Kaepernick announced his own new project with his publishing company, which might be more emotionally and intellectually rewarding than football at the moment:

…& features the work of over 30 contributors plus a reader’s guide, infographics, & cover art by Emory Douglas.

I’m proud to have edited this collection & hope it adds to the chorus of voices calling for a world without & beyond policing & prisons. #AbolitionForThePeople

And he probably agrees, considering he retweeted this:

Still would be nice to see him get the money he deserves.
