I’m not saying that he has to be black. What I’m saying is, you know, I said his heart is in the right place, but even with what he’s doing, he still doesn’t understand the injustices that we face as a black man or people of color.
It’s one of those situations where it’s a very sensitive topic, and he has to understand, too, that right now, he’s in the midst of a quarterback battle. He’s in the midst of trying to keep a job. Sometimes, you have to look at the bigger picture. People will say, ‘Well, maybe what he’s standing for is bigger than him winning the job,’ or something like that. But my thing is, I look at the timing of the situation. Why is he doing it now? He’s in a quarterback battle. He’s fighting for his life. Yes, he’s guaranteed $11 million. But what happened to all this Colin Kaepernick talk when he was making $300,000? I guess it’s easier to sit there and say, ‘I know I’m guaranteed $11 million. I made eight figures last year, so I’m set financially for the rest of my life. Now, I can get up and talk and feel like I have the freedom to say whatever I want.’ But what happened to that three, four years ago when he was making little money? That’s my thing. It’s the timing.
And then, I was always taught by [Patriots head coach Bill] Belichick, ‘Don’t cause distractions in the locker room. Don’t force your teammates to have to answer questions for you.’ Now what is his teammates doing? They have to answer questions. It becomes a distraction, and this team frankly is not good enough to be able to handle trying to get better and to handle these distractions. I just think it’s not the right timing.
Facts. Colin Kaepernick is bi-racial. He was adopted by White parents, but, he is still “black.”
As expected, Twitter is currently dragging Harrison.
