“I’ve tried everything,” Kaepernick said during the podcast, sounding like someone ready to make a drastic change. “I kneeled, I donated, I worked with organizations. But at the end of the day, it feels like the country just isn’t listening. And if America won’t respect me for the work I’ve done, maybe Russia will.”
Kaepernick’s declaration that Moscow might be his next destination raised eyebrows. When asked why he would consider moving to Russia, his response was as enigmatic as it was controversial: “Look, I know what you’re thinking. But hear me out. Russia has this… strength. This toughness. They don’t pretend to care about things they don’t care about. It’s pure. Uncomplicated.”
Kaepernick explained that, in his view, America has become “too soft,” filled with endless political debates and “performative wokeness” that doesn’t translate into real change. “In Russia, you know where you stand. I respect that,” he added.
