@LesterHoltNBC Shut up, nigger.

@LesterHoltNBC Take a knee? you get banned for life But……. Beat a women? You’re good Kill a bunch of dogs? You’re good SA women? You’re good DUI? You’re good @NFL is a joke

@HarrietEve9 @LesterHoltNBC The trope of police killing unarmed black people at scale has been thoroughly debunked. Why is NBC revivifying a lie?

@LesterHoltNBC

@LesterHoltNBC Colin you’re a hero to many of us. Thank you for all your sacrifices. Continue to inspire, we shall overcome.

@LesterHoltNBC Fuck off you untalented, ungrateful race baiter. I bet your white parents can't stand your arrogant ass anymore.

@LesterHoltNBC Your "work" consisted of disrespecting the country that put you in a position to be a mediocre quarterback. Your name has all but been forgotten.

@LesterHoltNBC I thought you said years ago that you didn’t care if your disrespecting our national anthem costed you your career, yet a decade later you’re still whining about this. What gives?

@LesterHoltNBC Proud always to be related to you even if it is only melanin count. Please allow the book to become a play and a movie and charge hella lot for the rights let me ask "Empress" Wintour at @CondeNast she may know the right fantastic people. Most Empresses do?!

Dude, your career was already fizzling out. You did what you did to try and keep up your celebrity. And Nike rewarded you. Oh, what’s that? You still could’ve played? Then I wonder why you punked out of that tryout where more than 20 teams were willing to watch you. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@LesterHoltNBC I can’t think of a bigger waste of time than watching this ingrate.

@LesterHoltNBC Colin, you are indeed a powerful man. You were instrumental in wiping out $220B in valuation of Nike stock. PS - you’re not a victim of racism. Didn’t you reject the Denver Broncos contract offer and then ran smack on Elway like the bitch you are? Be better bro, be better.

@LesterHoltNBC F this race baiting POS

@LesterHoltNBC Moving forward: Owners approved a policy requiring players on the field to stand or remain in the locker room. The NFL affirmed that Black lives matter. Nobody uses that phrase anymore because it was a flash-in-the-pan. The NFL and the public have moved on.

@LesterHoltNBC You just a racist, liar. F. U.

@LesterHoltNBC Believe me white folks would never stand for a flag that would go against them, so why would you expect someone else to?

@LesterHoltNBC You achieved nothing. Congrats

@LesterHoltNBC For me, the approach was wrong. If you want people to listen to you, you don’t start the discussion with utter disrespect. Kap: I want to talk about police brutality against black people. Me: Sure, let’s talk about it. Kap: Fuck you!!

@LesterHoltNBC What work? Can you quantify anything you accomplished besides having half the prosecutors in the country basically create chaos by letting repeat offenders off without bail to re-repeat crimes?

@LesterHoltNBC You will never be able to move forward with white people, they only understand violence!

@LesterHoltNBC This guy is such a fraud. What a clown.

@LesterHoltNBC White people only held him down. White people didn't raise him. White people didn't pay him contracts worth millions. White people didn't pay for his merchandise. Stand tall Colin! Never let America forget how racism held you back!

@LesterHoltNBC @Kaepernick7 thank you for loving US the way you do 🖤

@LesterHoltNBC Jesus, this retard again?

@LesterHoltNBC You're washed up. You are irrelevant. You are barely even black. Raised by whites, privileged, and you act like a Karen. And now your talking to Lester Holt? He looks like robocop without the helmet.

@LesterHoltNBC Shut up you stupid communist nigger. You should have just kept your mouth shut and continued being mediocre at the jew NFL. To think that you had the best life a nigger could hope for and threw it away to become a joke. Shut up and play football, niggers. Do yourself a favor.

@LesterHoltNBC He sacrificed everything. Especially money.

@LesterHoltNBC One of the biggest frauds in sports history.

@LesterHoltNBC Don’t believe even CK expected receiving as much backlash as he did. After his career was completely ruined, the NFL commissioner acknowledged the failure of the league in handling this situation correctly. Do you believe we actually have free speech?

@LesterHoltNBC

@LesterHoltNBC You look and feel like a "Holy" man! this delights. Plus, We so need more LESTER HOLT!!!!!

@LesterHoltNBC Maybe list the WORK so we can know..always hear activist say "Doing the Work"..what is it. I'm genuinely asking I hear this phrase all the time.

@LesterHoltNBC A bum by any other name is still a bum

Kapernick: “I wasn’t going to let them stop me or us from doing that work and moving forward.” "That work" Colin Kapernick is another creation of the machine. A new Gloria Steinem or Jane Fonda to sit on the North Vietname artillery, next Tarana Burke to carry on where the others left off. To demoralize the people, even in sports. @CurtisScoon

@LesterHoltNBC As a 30+-year 49er fan, Colin is the only player I actually despised. He made a fortune off of race hustling, race baiting and being a professional but fake victim. I can’t even stand (no pun intended!) looking at this guy. He’s an absolute disgrace.
