Colin Kaepernick’s mother, Theresa Kaepernick, humiliated Donald Trump after his comments in Albama.
She had a great response on Twitter to Trump’s comments in Alabama, last night.
There has been no lack of headlines surrounding the embattled former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. After Trump spoke in Alabama about massive declines in NFL ratings, Theresa Kaepernick, Colin’s mother, spoke out on Twitter in rebuttal to Trump’s comments.
There has been no statement from the NFL regarding the President’s comments thus far. He called out NFL franchise owners to fire players who protest. Several team owners were substantial financial donors and/or friends of the President and his presidental campaign but it seems doubtful that any of the owners would actually follow through with Trump’s requests.
James’ Edit: The NFL finally did release a statement on Trump’s comments, and it’s as weak and tone-deaf as you might expect.
Where are the response to #45’s comments from Kapernick’s mother?
Found the tweet.
Good for Colin ‘s Mom, she should be proud of her son, who has courage to peaceful protest and give so much to Charity. Know that idiot Trump doesn’t have the courage to show his tax returns,says he gives to charity but most of the times it’s all talk and no action. He should be fired for disrespecting everyone except himself. It’s not an honor to visit the White House while he occupies it.
Proud of both Colin and Teresa Kaepernick. Colin for standing up as a man for basic human rights and his mom Teresa for standing up to the National Bully Trump who’s attempting to bully her son with words. I have thought of Teresa, Colin’s mom in recent months. What she may be going through watching and hearing all the hate that is directed towards her son. Thank you for Colin. You’ve raised a good man. You are both in my prayers.
How dare 45 said such a thing, who he doing less than a worthy job as president. He display childish behavior and crazy behavior when he doesn’t get his way. To be in that position you would think he would be mature, he unable to stop tweeting long enough to pick up a book an read history. Trump you are such a FAKE I’ll never can or will call him President he truly need to be as he says FIRED. To say or call a group of professional the name you state you are out of line. I wish you could see yourself in the mirror you wouldn’t like yourself like the world really do hate you.
FYI the woman whose photo you used for this article is Heidi Russo, she is Colin’s biological mother and she does NOT support his peaceful protest. Theresa Kaepernick is this mother but is not the woman pictured here.
The only thing the NFL understands is money. Stop going to the games, stop watching them on TV and stop patronizing their advertisers.
Cherl, what they are doing is exercising their first amendment rights. They are taking that exorbitant salary and making it count for something more than just football. If you were a patriot you would get behind them, not try and make them get fired. Jackass.
Must’ve missed it! When did NFL become a an extension of the government-with players bound by the ‘Rules of Patriotism’? when was it decided that NFL player’s first amendment rights would be RELINQUISHED upon signing NFL contract? Who decided that new rules of conduct would be defined by the whims of president and the ‘American Football Patriots at-large’?
I guess I missed it…
(So players need to get message-you’re being paid to take hits, play through your concussions, and stuff your ‘opinions’.)
Well said
