To the Pre-game San Diego Football "radio commentators" on 1360

It's two hours before the game. I am stuck listening to you on my ride-pool home. I want to hear about how the practice looked, what you think about the way the game is going to be played, who looks questionable, if the coaches seem to be setting up for better plays...
I don't give a flying fuck what you think about Colin Kaepernick and his standing or sitting, and I certainly don't want to have your inflammatory, ignorant poutrage, what you think he should be doing, stupid simplistic "if he was out practicing when the guy who was going to sing the national anthem was practicing, would he just sit down while the guy practiced?" And to think that somehow he shouldn't have an opinion because his adoptive parents were white and he was raised white, and his new girlfriend radicalized him? Oh yeah, he's really attacking all cops. You say "There's nothing wrong with the system, because there are good cops out there too"...the problem you see is that it's just those lazy people who are "just looking for anything to be angry about that are complaining...
A fucking hour of this, and nothing whatsoever about substance about the game. You supposed journalists said it yourself. Your pre-game show is supposed to be about the game, but you still think the most important thing about the game is not the game, but putting Kaepernick in his place by pushing his peaceful protest in the spotlight and complaining about how much of an attention whore he was being, somehow putting himself above the game.
These are all actual things they said...
If you assholes really thought about it, you're the attention whores making it a big deal. If you wanted to bury the story, to make Kaepernick's personal protest a non-subject - STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING GAME! Do your jobs.

I know what you're doing assholes. You're not only riling up the crowd against the 49'ers, you're implying that his legitimate grievances, his legitimate opinions, are false.

And you bobble-headed former has-beens and wanna-be jocks - you didn't bitch about LeBron andBLM, did you?

On edit - as someone on ESPN radio said this morning - (sic) "Anyone who has a problem with Kaepernick is the reason this is a problem."
