No, he was not.

He’s been very outspoken about injustices toward minorities in America and started a protest to demonstrate it. But when it came to make his voice heard at the polls, Kaepernick fell silent. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has taken serious heat for declining to vote in the 2016 presidential election. On Wednesday, after Republican nominee Donald Trump secured the presidency, Kaepernick received what might be his harshest rebuke yet from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. “He comes across as a flaming hypocrite,” an incensed Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take.” “After all this noise that you made, even though you didn’t intended to do so, by offending our military

Reggie Wayne Fires Back At Angry Patriots Fans After Tom Brady Opinion
Share this: Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne ticked off a lot of Patriots fans this week when he said on “NFL Total Access” that New England quarterback Tom Brady shouldn’t win the MVP award this season because “he was caught cheating this year.” The anti-Brady-for-MVP argument can be rationalized, even if one doesn’t necessarily agree with the overall sentiment.

What can’t be rationalized is Wayne’s total disregard for the facts. The whole Deflategate
