Liberal Redneck: Colin Kaepernick and the National Anthem

[Stellar]

[Warning: Strong language] The Daily News’ Hillbilly-in-Chief Trae Crowder is ready for some football and not the “politically divisive hot potato” that is the Colin Kaepernick national anthem situation, which ironically has offended people who have spent “the better part of a year complaining about how not great America is.”

“I do agree with Kaepernick about racism in America, but I don’t agree with how he chose to express it, but that’s all it was. A peaceful expression of his opinion. So can we please stop with the death threats and the racial slurs and just get back to what really matters… watching gigantic, freakish men in arbitrarily significant uniforms give each other gradual brain damage for the pursuit of our entertainment?”

5. Oh yeah, I've hated Alabama since I learned

what football was. It's refreshing to see a smart, funny guy with a southern accent on the internet as well. So often on tv, the radio, the internet, etc. people with southern accents are portrayed as mean, bigoted, dumbasses. Growing up in the South, you notice at an early age what much of the country infers about you simply by the way you pronounce words. It's why so many southerners have a complex about their accents.
