“I’ve tried everything,” Kaepernick said in his podcast interview, sounding a bit like someone who’s done with their day job and ready to move to Bali to start a meditation retreat. “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.”
Yes, because if there’s one country known for its deep respect for outspoken athletes and social justice warriors, it’s Russia.
When asked why he’d choose Russia, of all places, Kaepernick’s response was as cryptic as it was eyebrow-raising. “Look, I know what you’re thinking,” he said, pausing dramatically as if he could hear the collective confusion through the airwaves. “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 went on to explain that, in his mind, America has become “too soft,” with its endless political debates and “performative wokeness” not leading to real change. “In Russia, you know where you stand. I respect that.”
