Houston Refuses to Hire Kaepernick, Instead Sign Quarterback Who Hasn’t Played In Years
Mark the Houston Texans as yet another NFL team that has avoided hiring anti-American protester Colin Kaepernick as the team just signed a quarterback that hasn’t even played for six seasons instead of giving Kaepernick a shot.
Last week Texans rookie quarterback DeShaun Watson turned up injured and the team needed a new quarterback to replace him. But instead of turning to anti-American protester Colin Kaepernick, the team just went with Josh Johnson, a player who hasn’t even tossed a football in an NFL game since 2011.
The Texans apparently didn’t give a second’s thought to NBC analyst Tony Dungy’s demand that they sign the national anthem protest inventor.
As DownTrend.com notes , Dungy urged the team to sign Kaepernick:
“Sign Colin Kaepernick,” Dungy said. “You don’t have good quarterback play. When you have a mobile quarterback, your offense looks different. There is a mobile quarterback out there to get.”
But today the Texans announced that they signed Josh Johnson, instead.
The eyebrows are already raising among the left-wing sports media, too.
Here is how Sports Illustrated noted the signing:
Amusingly, Johnson did play for San Francisco (in 2014, though he didn’t get in a game) so, the Texans DID hire a former San Francisco 49er quarterback… it just wasn’t Kaepernick.
This is the second time the team took a pass on Colin, too. The Texans dissed Kaepernick last week , as well, signing Matt McGloin.
So far, Kaepernick has missed a slot with a long list of teams that had been looking for back up quarterbacks this season and it is about impossible, now, to agree with claims that teams are avoiding the player only because he doesn’t fit their needs.
Kaepernick is not a standout quarterback, but by any measure he would have been a more obvious choice than Josh Johnson! Clearly, teams are avoiding Kaepernick because they fear he will bring nothing but trouble to their locker rooms.
But it is easy to see how every team in the league would feel that way. Not only is Colin Kaepernick single-handedly responsible for destroying the NFL’s TV ratings with the avalanche of anti-American protests that he is responsible for creating, but he is still at it by filing union grievances against the league charging that the owners are “colluding” to keep him off the field.
After spending the whole of the 2016 season protesting against the United States, Kaepernick insisted that once he turned free agent he would end his protests. But no one really believes that.
After all, Kaepernick didn’t just quietly kneel in protest during the 2016 season. He also spent hours and hours speaking out against the US., wearing socks that portrayed cops as “pigs,” said the U.S.A. was “never great,” and wore shirts celebrating evil communist dictators.
So, why the heck would any NFL team want to bring all that hate into their locker rooms? What sense would it make to sign this guy knowing full well Kaepernick intends to bring his entire circus of anti-Americanism to their city? I sure as heck wouldn’t hire such a person. Would you?

ROTFLMAO!!!
Agree 100%! CK is a Class A dirtbag who refused to appreciate what he had before he dissed his own country. Now he is paying the well deserved price!
Happy Veteran's Day Capt. Semper Fi!
While I support his right to protest, He is going to have a hard time proving his discrimination case because he's a pretty sucky quarterback. I have little patience for the political grievances of NON_VOTERS.
Trump turned it into a circus to try and hide his crimes behind the brouha.
Before Trump opened his mouth the NFL protests were a minor national issue at best.
Trump is innocent, Kaepernick is guilty of inciting mutiny.
LOL, really? I guess he doesn't have First Amendment rights then.
Sure he does.....until he jeopardizes an entire business franchise.
Oh wow, really? Where does it say that in the Constitution or, the First Amendment?
We don't have the right to say anything that jeopardizes a business?? I beg to differ.
You haven't read the "Freedom of the Spoken word" thingy yet ? I know I didn't see anything about protecting an individual from consequences after they "Freely" spoke ..... have you ?
I never said we didn't....did I ?
Uh, yes, you did, you absolutely did. You said CK has his first amendment rights until he jeopardizes a business.
Your words It Is Me, not mine.
Obviously, he has first amendment rights no matter what he says or does.
The gov. is not going to come and arrest him.. But... There is absolutely nothing in the constitution that says his employer has to keep him if they don't want to.
I challenge any of you people to go up to your boss tomorrow and cuss your boss out... Let's see how far your "first amendment rights" get you then!
The left has been trying to put a baker out of business.
Isn't it crazy how the left will call for the firing of someone who does or says something they don't like during their off hours but they think that this guy is protected by the first amendment during his working hours.
The players did that. In typical anti-Trump fashion, they had a hissy fit over something he said.
That's BS and this fixation you have on everything being Trumps fault is really unhealthy. You really should talk to some about that.
Kaepernick's Anthem kneel was immediately disliked by a lot of folks including myself but it really spooled up when he didn't get hired after he voluntarily opted out of his contract with SF for free agency. Little turd got greedy and lost.
Not anyone's problem but his own. If he hadn't opted out of his contract he would have had a job.
Interesting how facts like that get lost in the translation of the narrative you are trying to shove down everyones throat.
Where the hell are his tax returns, I mean birth certificate?
Probably in a file cabinet somewhere or maybe in an electronic file on a computer.
Can you explain the interest in Obama's already release real genuine birth certificate for years?
Well Americans ARE interested in Trump's tax returns. He did promise to release them. Of course that was just another lie. But we won't want to see any tax reform without knowing how he will benefit. Because, well, you know, he LIES.
The only reason this is in the news is because Colon is half black. Otherwise nobody gives a shyt.
I dunno Rexy, colons are more brown than black for the most part!
So they had a choice between a player who hasn't played in a few years but is willing to play and a bitch. No surprise who they went with. I wouldn't want a bitch on my team either.
Kaepernick, Schmaepernick!
What about Humperdinck?
Engelbert Humperdinck - Please release me - 1989
What kind of mother would name her kid "Engelbert Humperdinck? That's what I want to know!!!
His mother didn't name him Englebert. His name was Arnold Dorsey. His manager changed his name for show biz.
Now that is an interesting bit of information! Thank you for sharing!!
Play stupid games and get stupid prizes Mr. K.
Doesn't matter. Kaepernick is not protesting the National Anthem. And Hitler built great highways. Racism lives.
This discussion is worn, depleted. Conservatism has successfully turned unwarranted police shootings into our national acceptance.
