Colin Kaepernick Twitter Reaction: Internet Has Lots Of Support For QB’s Protest

http://www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/colin-620x436.jpg
If you’re an American and you’ve heard about Colin Kaepernick’s protest, you very probably have one of three opinions on the matter: You strongly support him, you’re strongly against him or you just don’t care and wish this story would be over.

And because it’s America and we have freedom of speech, you’re allowed to have any of those opinions, just like Kaepernick is allowed to have and express his.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has taken a lot of heat in the past week after he was noticed sitting during “The Star-Spangled Banner” in a previous preseason game, and his comments explaining why have been a topic of conversation, too.

Thursday night, he continued his protest by kneeling during the national anthem, this time during a road game in San Diego on a night where the Chargers were honoring military personnel — a mere coincidence, and something the team does every preseason.

People took to Twitter and reacted, of course. We wanted to know what those people were saying, so we did a Twitter search for “Colin Kaepernick” and scrolled through the first few hundred we saw. The reaction seemed to be very supportive of Kaepernick, as you’ll see below.

We kept searching in hopes of finding reactions on the other side of the fence in order to paint a fair picture. Unfortunately, many of those tweets denouncing Kaepernick’s decision included profane language and/or racist and derogatory comments toward Kaepernick, so we couldn’t include them in this list. But they were there, and so we did our best to find a few non-derogatory tweets to include and represent those people.

Here’s a snippet of what people were thinking Thursday night.

Tonight’s SmackDown couldn’t quite match the insanity of Monday Night Raw, but it was still a well-received episode overall, featuring progress on several major storylines.

The main event saw a match between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin, but we also saw a few more matches in the Tag Team Championship tournament, including one against The Hype Bros and the returning Headbangers, and another during which Heath Slater and Rhyno actually advanced to the next round.

Here are some of the best reactions and memes from throughout the show, presented in the order that they occurred.

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw was quite shocking to say the least. In the show’s main event, Triple H made a sudden return, attacking Seth Rollins and helping Kevin Owens win the WWE Universal Championship. The crowd in Houston went wild, as did thousands of WWE fans on social media, who were rooting for Owens but were dreading a possible Roman Reigns victory.

And that wasn’t all. There was also an incredible tag team match that saw Bayley teaming up with The New Day to fight Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and Dana Brooke. Bayley had immediate chemistry with The New Day, and the team ultimately emerged victorious. Plus, Chris Jericho and Neville had a pretty entertaining match, as did Cesaro and Sheamus.

The only low points for a lot of fans were the match between Titus O’Neil and Darren Young and a segment between Paul Heyman and Stephanie McMahon, during which the two discussed Brock Lesnar’s behavior at SummerSlam.

As usual, Twitter was full of Raw reactions all throughout the show, with several WWE-related terms trending and with thousands of users sharing their favorite memes. Presented in the order that they were posted, here are some of the best reactions from August 29th’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Bobby Petrino: My Twitter account was hacked for smut tweet

http://i2.wp.com/www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/bobby-petrino-twitter.jpg?fit=576%2C1024

Louisville football coach Bobby Petrino sent a statement on Thursday that attributed some inappropriate Twitter activity on his account to hacking.

Some people on Twitter noticed Wednesday that Petrino’s Twitter account had “liked” a smut tweet.

Here’s the statement Petrino sent in response:

“I was alerted this morning that there was inappropriate material on my official Twitter account. While the account is generally under my supervision, there are multiple people, and possibly an unauthorized user who have access to my account. We’ve always taken the appropriate steps to make sure our official social media accounts are secure and are we taking measures to make sure this situation never happens again.”

Getting caught up in a thing like this typically would be bad news for a coach, but it’s really nothing when you’re used to much worse scandals like Petrino.
