Basketball icon Michael Jordan, expressing frustration with leftist actions, expresses a desire to impart wisdom to former quarterback Colin Kaepernick. In an emotional conversation, Jordan reflects on his admiration for Kaepernick’s potential and reminisces about moments when black players, like Kaepernick, displayed gratitude for the opportunities provided by the country.
Jordan suggests that Kaepernick should reconsider his stance, expressing sadness over the perceived decline in his career due to the refusal to stand for the national anthem. Despite acknowledging Kaepernick’s protest as potentially related to police shootings, Jordan questions the rationale and wonders if he should be actively involved if it concerns the black community.
Apologizing and showing solidarity with Kaepernick’s backstory, Jordan remains troubled by the kneeling act, speculating that it might be perceived as disrespecting the troops. In Jordan’s view, the absence of a clear explanation leaves room for the assumption that Kaepernick harbors animosity towards the military, a sentiment he believes may be accurate.
Reflecting on Kaepernick’s protest method, Jordan suggests that consulting with a veteran beforehand could have led to a more effective and less offensive approach.
