San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick has received a lot of negative press lately for a photo
that came out showing him wearing a Miami Dolphins cap at a fourth of July
party. Is this as big of a deal as
people have made it out to be? I would say yes and no.
It’s bad because fans
see the photo and they feel betrayed, and it could also hurt his relationship
with his teammates, who may also feel a bit betrayed. Kaepernick is a 49er and he should only wear
their stuff, but I think the situation has been taken a bit too far. For all we know the guy was probably just
wearing a cap that matched his outfit, which still doesn’t make it right but I
don’t think it makes him a traitor either.
I mean there is no doubt
that he made a mistake, but if the guy wins football games for you, then who
really cares. Instead of making the guy
feel like dirt, fans should forget about it.
Kaepernick has already apologized for his actions and that’s all he can
really do.
If the fans continue to
ride him and treat him like he’s a traitor, and his teammates give him the cold
shoulder, all that will do is drive him away from San Francisco. I think it would go a long way with the young
QB if his teammates and fans took the high road.
Plain and simple the
49ers have an opportunity to have a great team that could win several Super
Bowl’s; but I can almost guarantee that they won’t be able to accomplish much
of anything if the fans and teammates are alienating their young star QB.
