Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.

At this point it seems Colin Kaepernick will not be signed to an NFL team. I’ve been a 49er fan my entire life and I saw his rise from Alex Smith’s backup to Super Bowl starter in 2012. He threw for over 300 yards and almost lead them to a comeback victory. The week before he rushed for 181 yards (still an NFL QB single game rushing record), and threw for 263 and 2 touchdowns. If you look at the stats comparison between Kaep & Steve Young for the first three years, the numbers are almost identical. Kaep was 21-8, 6261 passing yards, 41 tds to 15 picks, and 1004 rushing yards. Young went 19-10, 6113 passing yards, 43 tds with 15 picks, and 1223 rushing yards. His stats are right on par with Steve Young the hall of famer. For all those who say he’s not in the league because he sucks need to look at the truth. They also may need to look deep within themselves and admit they may be part of the problem. This country has a history of racism and cruelty towards black people and it hasn’t gone away. A black man took a stand for social justice. There is an obvious problem with police brutality in this country and all he did was take a knee to bring awareness to it.
