New York Daily News sports writers on Saturday blitzed the NFL with renewed calls to sign Colin Kaepernick. Bob Raissman urged the NFL Network to run a marathon marketing the lightning rod former pro quarterback. Mike Lupica wrote the New York Giants should do the right thing and give him a chance to be their quarterback.

“Boy, look at all those Jacobin BLM kids out there hating on cops, tearing down statues, getting people fired, canceling everything they can think of -- sure looks like fun. How can I, a simple Chicago Tribune editorial board member, get in on some of that? I know! I’ll connect a baseball team to a law enforcement organization that may have been racist in the past! You’re a genius, Steve…

Colin Kaepernick spewed volumes of hate and anger with his knee during the 2016 NFL season, and the America hater is about to rev up the volume on his rhetoric through a San Francisco publishing company. Kaepernick will join Medium's board of directors in addition to writing about race and civil rights.

Finally, some athletes are talking about not taking a knee in protest. Before you get too excited, though, there's more to the story. A group of NBA players say they're willing to stand up -- against systemic racism and also willing to boycott the rest of the NBA season.

And so it continues. The mainstream networks are relentlessly and openly attacking people for no other reason than showing that they MAY lean towards the conservative side of the aisle.

The left’s fit of insensate rage keeps turning this way and that, smashing whatever comes to hand -- a statue here, a corporate exec there. Professional sports have been thoroughly politicized, and now the destruction is coming to big-time college football. Because somebody doesn’t like a T-shirt.

Kevin Warren is literally hitting the ground kneeling in his new role as commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. The former Minnesota Vikings executive intends to turn this power five league into what could become one sensationally woke league.

Jason Whitlock is a misfit. The sports write/commentator doesn’t fit in at mainstream sports outlets. That’s why he says he left “a rising, successful television show at FOX Sports 1 to become a partner at Outkick.”

The Boston Red Sox joined many organizations in releasing a public statement about nationwide racial tensions over the last few weeks. And to ESPN host Michael Wilbon, it was long past due for the infamously liberal city to "own" their racism.

By force-feeding its viewers an unwanted diet of systemic racism and social justice, ESPN has thinned its viewership to an all-time low. The blundering miscalculation sank ESPN's audience this week to the lowest numbers in its 41-year history. Good luck defending this hair-brained strategy to your advertisers, ESPN.

As he decided to exit the corporation of Fox Sports, former Speak For Yourself commentator, Jason Whitlock, provided Outkick the Coverage an exclusive interview to discuss his recent thoughts on all things current events. The following is a list of highlights of the conversation and brief analysis on each one.

Ah, progress! Drew Brees is the most hated man in sports for saying that he didn’t believe in taking a knee during the national anthem. Roger Goodell issued some mealy mouthed “apology” for “not listening to NFL players earlier.” Now veteran running back Adrian Petersen is predicting widespread kneeling when the NFL season begins.

In case it was not made clear, Drew Brees loves all people, hates injustice, and will support his teammates through thick and thin.

Well, Drew Brees has apologized for having his own opinions. It was to be expected. But at least one prominent African-American sports figure doesn’t want the Saints QB cast into the outer darkness.
