Former NFL Quarterback and free agent, Colin Kaepernick, has had no luck finding a roster spot in the NFL for the 2017-2018 season.

It’s believed his absence from the turf is due in large part to his protesting of racial injustice in America, by taking a knee during the national anthem on game day. This “silent protest” has caused waves throughout both sports and political arenas alike.

Early Sunday morning, a representative for Kaepernick announced the release of a new line of knee pads, “KaeperKnees,” bearing the slogan, “Protect your knees from injustice.” The internet has erupted with backlash of the alleged cash grab.

Famed NFL commentator, Joe Buck, tweeted out, “I’m Jack Buck’s son. This move is just bad for everyone. Bad for the NFL. Bad for fans. I’ve won multiple sports emmys.”

Future Hall Of Famer, Peyton Manning, also chimed in from the set of another hilarious and clever Papa John’s commercial. “Ya know, I don’t feel it’s really my place to say much. I’m doing these damn ‘Game Day With Peyton,’ mascot commercials. What is the point? Is there a point? It just builds up tension between the colt and the bronco and there’s no payoff.”

Peyton was cut off when his agent slipped a piece of paper into his hand, from which he read, “But, I must admit, it’s no lie that better ingredients make better pizza. Why not get 2 Large, 2-topping pizzas for just $8 each?”

Kaepernick’s reps have yet to respond to requests for comment.
