The Washington Post recently announced significant layoffs, a move reflecting the consequences of years spent echoing Democratic narratives and championing progressive ideologies. This decision comes as no surprise to many observers who have long criticized the paper for these practices.
In today’s digital age, deceptive storytelling and ostentatious displays of virtue are often exposed, especially with platforms like RedState and X offering alternative perspectives. The repercussions of such editorial choices have become increasingly evident.
In a demonstration of their controversial editorial stance, the outlet recently published a glowing tribute to a well-known figure, celebrating his controversial attempts to integrate social justice themes into the National Football League.
This figure, Colin Kaepernick, was described by the publication as the “most relevant player,” a claim that raises eyebrows considering he has not actively played in the league for several years.
The article stated:
The Super Bowl is being played in Colin Kaepernick’s former home stadium, at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront nearly 10 years ago, after he kneeled during the national anthem before a 49ers game. https://t.co/TX2l7r7msx

They waxed poetic: “The most relevant figure to Super Bowl LX is absent from it.“ No, WaPo, he is not the most relevant figure; in fact, he’s nothing but an afterthought to most fans. An unfortunate one, at that.

Although there are numerous WaPo writers whining on social media that they’ve lost their jobs, they only have themselves to blame:
In which a sports reporter at the Washington Post declares that “The most relevant figure to Super Bowl LX is” . . . Colin Kaepernick. They cannot fix themselves. They will not fix themselves. They are incorrigible, monomaniacal weirdos. https://t.co/sZRc6GxVT0

Look in the mirror, people:
You need to fire more writers.

Let’s be honest: Colin Kaepernick is not, and was never, a unifying figure. Although he showed flashes of greatness early in his 49er career, he quickly overshadowed that with his bizarre hair antics and his anti-American diatribes.
I hope for a great game this Sunday, but I am not at all sad that he will not be a part of it. Meanwhile, WaPo stalwarts, start applying to MS NOW — they are probably the only people left who will put up with your endless efforts to undermine the country.
