Colin Kaepernick’s longtime partner, Nessa Diab, has lashed out at the NFL over its reaction to Harrison Butker’s comments.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker has been the talk of both social and mainstream media since his comments at a graduation ceremony at a Catholic college.
While he has attracted rife criticism, Butker has seen lots of support come his way. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell refused to condemn him despite a previous statement released by the league shortly after the speech went viral. He has also been defended by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Many have pointed out that Kaepernick was hardly treated with the same grace, having been blackballed over his decision to kneel during the national anthem.
Diab has reacted to the support Butker has received by sharing a post to her Instagram Story which reads: “You all line up to defend Harrison Butker’s opinion. But when Colin Kaepernick took a knee to state his, you all lost your S. Guess it was about racism after all.”

Another section of the post she shared claimed Butker’s speech was “misogynistic and harmful.”
“The different reaction to the two should tell you everything,” it continues.
“Tell me again how we don’t live in a place that has different rules depending on what body you live in.”
Colin Kaepernick Hasn’t Given Up On A Return To The NFL
Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL for nearly a decade, although he has tried to make his way back on a few occasions. He reached out to the New York Jets after they lost Aaron Rodgers to a season-ending injury last season, but to no avail.
He’s now 36, yet he keeps himself in shape in case an opportunity arises.
As for Butker, the Kicker will not be punished for what he said and will return to the Chiefs for next season after helping them win three Super Bowls.
