Longtime NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown called Colin Kaepernick a “trash” quarterback on Thursday and questioned his charitable impact ‘in the hood.’
One of the many people that agree with his comments is Michael Thomas. The New Orleans WR took to Twitter and wrote “he isn’t wrong wrong lol,” in response to Brown not feeling bad about Kaepernick’s current situation because he “took the deal” and even said he was “trash” on the field.
The topic came up as the host brought up the fact that Kaepernick has been shunned by the NFL after spending all of the 2016 season kneeling during the national anthem.
“But they gave him the money and they gave him a commercial, they gave him the documentary,” Brown said, via TMZ.com. “He took a deal. We don’t feel sorry for you. You took the deal. Fuck outta here. Oh, Kaepernick. Man, you on fucking Nike, man. Fuck outta here. . . .
“He don’t wanna play, man. He was trash, everything. . . . Kaepernick did all that and took the money and then got the commercial. We don’t see Kaepernick outside. Where he at? I ain’t never seem him outside. . . . All that’s cap. We ain’t respecting that, bro. You took the money, the commercials. We don’t see you outside. We don’t see him in the hood. He don’t do nothing. Like, we cool. But nah we ain’t even stan Kaepernick. “He not even from the hood. You don’t even been in the trenches. We like Kaepernick and all, but we ain’t really on that. As Black people we need to get that clear. . . . He took the handout, so he got to take the mayor out and, like, take responsibility for that.”
The seven-time Pro Bowler is also fighting to get back into the league after he was last seen in the NFL tearing off his pads and storming off the field during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 17 game.

Kaepernick launched the Know Your Rights Camp in 2016. The foundation lists its mission statement as advancing the “liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders.”
Its website says over 1,400 people have been helped across eight cities through its camps.
