Colin Kaepernick : Spartacus Redux ?

Ex football quarterback for sanctuary city San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick registered his unique head outline today as a trade mark. Looks like Nike wants to couple that outline mass with the Nike whoosh for simple communication to the legions of simple athletic shoe culture buyers. Legions? Reminds me of first century B.C.E Roman slave revolt led by Thracian- born ( modern day Bulgaria) Spartacus. He was killed by the Romans in modern day Calabria, Italy in 71 B.C.E. Good peppers from Calabria.Thousands of his fellow slaves were killed also.Spartacus et al had a legitimate complaint. No slaves. And that means particularly they didn't want to be enslaved. I agree. Kaepernick claims he's treated like a slave. Kaepernick any way if you care to look at him doesn't meet the slave profile. Millions in net worth and now a revolt for a political career.Any sword play? Any blood? No. All he needs is a Hollywood agent and one antitrust attorney.By the way slaves were not all conquered peoples. Some peoples sold neighbors and family members to slave traders. Kaepernick wasn't taught that in school. It's not the PC approved narrative. Ignorance is bliss. Till it aint.
