Colin Kaepernick settles his feud with the NFL. |
Kaepernick drew national attention after he kneel during the national anthem. It became one of the many issues in the Great Culture War.
It drew criticism from law enforcement, Republicans and even imbecile Donald J. Trump.
Trump referred to Kaepernick and those who kneel as "crooked sons-of-a-bitches."
Now Kaepernick could walk away with $80 million after a settlement was reached with the NFL.
Kaepernick, a free agent claimed that there was collusion. He said that NFL owners were plotting behind the scenes to keep him off the field. They claimed that he was being blacklisted by the league.
Roger Goodell, several owners and two NFL executives were desposed and ordered to turned over all relevant phone records and emails in relations to Kaepernick's case against the NFL.
Another Kaepernick critic found himself losing the battle as well.
Prime Time Sports is going out business after 21 years of business. The owner Stephen Martin announced on Monday that he is closing his store. He said that his protest against Kaepernick and Nike destroyed him.
People weren't coming into his business after he decided to hold a boycott of Nike because they made Kaepernick a spokesman for the shoe company.
Last September, Martin began slashing the price of his Nike stock after the brand used an image of Kaepernick for its famous "Just Do It" campaign.
Prime Time Sports goes out of business. Trump-supporting owner admits his boycott against Colin Kaepernick was a dumb idea. Now he's forced to scrap his business. |
Martin on the other hand has decided to close his Colorado Springs store.
The store canceled an autograph appearance with Brandon Marshall following his decision to take a knee during the national anthem.
Martin who claims to not be "racist" faced controversy long before the Kaepernick situation.
There was a place in Beavercreek, Ohio that made the news as well. The owner of Beef O'Brady's decided to not air football games in the wake of Kaepernick and NFL players kneeling.
The restaurant closed in 2018 and was converted to a Wingz restaurant.
The owner, Bill DeFries found himself on the losing end of the controversy as well. He was forced to sell his business after the protest.
Conservatives, here's a reminder to you! Don't get on the wrong side of history.
