ANYONE BUT KAEPERNICK!

The Houston Texans are in desperate need of a proven quarterback after a season-ending injury to rookie sensation Deshaun Watson

Wednesday was a great day for Houston. The Astros won the World Series in the seventh and deciding game of the championship series. They beat a good L.A. Dodgers team on their home turf. This was clearly one of the best series in the history of major league baseball.

In the opening ceremony, all the ballplayers stood at attention during the playing of the National Anthem. And so it has been with the MLB players throughout the season. I understand there has been only one MLB player who has taken the knee, and that was Oakland’s black catcher.

The MLB is not the only league that shows respect for our flag and country. The National Hockey league players, most of which are from Canada and Europe, including Russia, all stand while the Star Spangled Banner is being sung. The same with major league soccer players.

It is a sad time indeed when foreigners show more respect for our flag and country than the black players in the NFL and NBA. And it’s a shame that the NFL owners and their commissioner don’t have the balls to order their players to stand during the anthem.

While the Astros and all Houstonians were celebrating an amazing victory, the NFL Texans announced that Deshaun Watson, their rookie sensation quarterback, had suffered a season-ending injury during a practice session.

That leaves the Texans with Watson’s backup quarterback, Tom Savage, who had been designated as the starting quarterback at the beginning of the season. Unfortunately for Savage and the Texans, he flopped in the first game and was replaced by Watson. The Texans signed Matt McGloin, who had been dumped by Philadelphia, as a backup for Savage. They also brought back T.J. Yates.

Savage, McGloin and Yates notwithstanding, it looks as though the Texans are in dire need of a proven quarterback and Colin Kaepernick, the creep who started the refusal to stand for the anthem, is more than willing to come to the Texans, or any other NFL team for that matter.

So far the Texans have resisted signing Kaepernick, but will they continue to do so if Savage and his backups flop?

I am sure the black players throughout the league want the Texans to sign Kaepernick. They are bellowing that the owners have agreed to boycott the former San Francisco quarterback.

And I suspect Bishop James Dixon would like to see the Texans sign Kaepernick. After all, Dixon has accused Texan owner Bob McNair of injuring and insulting Houston’s black community when McNair used an innocuous figure of speech to say that the NFL cannot allow the players to run the league.

Dixon may have felt insulted by what McNair said, but every time a player refuses to stand for the anthem, he is insulting all patriotic Americans and all of those brave soldiers who fought and died under our flag so that those idiots taking the knee can earn their outrageous salaries.

If the Texans are going to be forced to sign another quarterback, let it be anyone but Kaepernick! Let the creep go out and find a real job. Of course, if Kaepernick does not want to work, he could always be a community organizer like Barack Obama once was.
