The joke citizenship award by GQ Magazine
NY Post:
On Monday, GQ magazine released its special issue naming former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick “Citizen of the Year.” The controversial figure in sports, and the magazine, received a lot of backlash, including a string of tweets from former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry.You get the impression that GQ has bought into the "hands up, don't shoot" lie that motivates Kaepernick's disgusting protest while ignoring real stand up guys like JJ Watt. This is not an intelligent decision by a men's fashion magazine.
On Monday morning, McHenry took shots at Kaepernick on Twitter, arguing that not only is he not worthy of the brand new title, but there were far more respectful members of the NFL worth shining a light on. McHenry first commented on Kaepernick’s previous wardrobe choice that painted police in a negative light.
“Wear socks depicting police officers as pigs; wear Fidel Castro as a fashion statement IN MIAMI; sue NFL for collusion when gf compares owners to slave owners… Win Citizen of the Year,” she wrote. “Serve in the US Military…nothing. What a joke, GQ. #Kaepernick.”
Later, she highlighted JJ Watt, who raised money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey earlier this year as someone who may be worthy of being recognized as Citizen of the Year.
“JJ Watt raised $37 million for Hurricane Harvey victims. 37 MILLION! But Kaepernick refused to stand for our national anthem (a year ago) and is Citizen of the Year. Right…”
