How and the Hell does Colin Kaepernick with "citizen of the year"? First let me get to this title. I am not familiar with GQ's protocol... have they always done a citizen of the year? was it man and woman of the year first and they just decided that for some reason that was too expensive or somehow insulting so they combined it? do they still do an man of the year, woman of the year and then a citizen of the year? I don't get it. But what I do get is that Gonzo... aka Kaepernick is NOT the Citizen of the year.
I'm sure you have all seen the posts and I usually don't jump on a popular opinion but when the people are right, they are right... Citizen of the damn year is JJ Watt. Hands Down. Guy took has platform and instead of dividing the country, decided to so something that unit it in a time a tragedy. He asked the American people for help. Help with the devastating disaster that Hurricane Harvey had caused to the Houston Area.
JJ Wanted to Raise 500,000 hoping that people would be generous enough to open their hearts and their wallets with the assistance of the rebuilding efforts to the Houston Area... an area that he plays for and an area he has grown to love. When all was said and done JJ Watt raised 37 Million Dollars for Disaster Relief efforts to that area of Houston.
Why is that so important not only to the Houston area but to the entire country? Houston was not the only area devastated from natural disasters this year. Florida and Puerto Rico were hit hard with Hurricanes, and California dealt with week long wild fires that left people without homes. FEMA (the governments natural disaster relief division... in case you live under a rock) is spread thin with so many disasters happening around the same time. This money assisted with FEMA being able to distribute its budgeted money to the other areas of need (like Puerto Rico that wants Billions of dollars to fix the entire country... don't get me started).
Kaepernick hasn't played football all year.... hasn't kneeled down all year.... hasn't been relevant until the President decided to weigh in and everyone turned his protest into a "I hate the president, he can't tell me what to do so I will do what he is telling me not to" protest. It's pretty pathetic that GQ needs publicity so bad that this is how they are going about it
If you're not going to give the citizen of the year to JJ maybe you should look at his teammate, Deshaun Watson. Rookie QB of the team just recently torn his MCL and is out for the year. Was going to win rookie of the year. Before he even got to start a game. He donated his entire first Paycheck to the cafeteria workers that serve them that were affected by Hurricane Harvey. Kid is right out of college and the first paycheck he receives that finally gets him PAID, he gives the entire thing away. Dilly Dilly!!!! JJ Watt, Dilly Dilly!!!! Deshaun Watson.... pit of misery for Colin Keapernick
