Poll says the NFL’s most disliked player is Colin Kaepernick

[NaturalHigh]

There is no questioning which player in the National Football League may be the most polarziing as we sit here today. As he continues to protest during the national anthem, San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick is also the most disliked player in the NFL right now, according to a recent poll.

Darren Rovell of ESPN reports poll results gathered and shared by E-Poll Marketing Research last week shows 29 percent of 1,100 Americans polled say they “dislike” Kaepernick the most.

Finishing behind Kaepernick in this category was Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Bucs (22 percent), Ndamukong Suh of the Miami Dolphins (21 percent), New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (13 percent), and Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers (10 percent). For those keeping score at home, that’s two quarterbacks previously connected to allegations of sexual abuse, one quarterback who cheated (in the view of the NFL, at least), and one defensive player known to stomp on his opponents.

The biggest mark against Kaepernick has been him taking a knee during the national anthem to spread awareness of social injustices in our communities.

1. More power to Colin Kaepernick. eom

[katsy]

2. He's doing the right thing & why are his jerseys

top sellers? Maybe the poll is garbage.

[mythology]

10. Or perhaps he's just polarizing, 30% dislike him and some number of people really like him

One can be both very popular with one group and unpopular with another, for example the people who like Donald Trump, really like Donald Trump and the rest of us think he's an idiot.

3. maybe he needs to commit some violent act and he would be more popular

5. Makes one wonder if this poll has ever been taken before.

I'm guessing not.

6. I can't answer this...

I am a RAIDERS FAN... (But I do like what he is doing, and hope he continues)

[liberal N proud]

7. NFL fans are not concerned with the rapist among the players

Just that black guy that wouldn't stand for the Star Spangle Banner.

[Orrex]

8. If only he'd raped or beaten his girlfriend or whipped his children

Viewers would still regard him as a hero.

9. But he is the most popular among AA's.

So all the poll shows is that the racial divide is still strong in Amerika. As if we didn't already know.
