'It's over!' Super Bowl champ Warren Sapp compares Colin Kaepernick to unwanted 'trash'

'It's over!' Super Bowl champ Warren Sapp compares Colin Kaepernick to unwanted 'trash'



Ex-NFL player and Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp assured viewers that activist and ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick won't be allowed to return to any roster in the future.

Speaking on BlazeTV's "Fearless with Jason Whitlock," host Jason Whitlock asked Sapp, "When will people stop with the 'Colin Kaepernick should be called'?"

'Never," Sapp replied. "Colin got $60-$80 million; started a production company. I think Colin is fine. I don't even see Colin throwing any more. I think Colin got the message the last time he went out and threw the ball. ... It's over," the former defensive lineman added.

The pair were referring to the recent injury of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was highly touted as a savior for the franchise before he tore his Achilles tendon. Former quarterback turned NFL analyst Robert Griffin III claimed he and Kaepernick have not received a call to suit up because they would be too much of a distraction.

“It’s not that we can’t play the game any more; it’s that we’re a big distraction if you bring us in,” Griffin III said, according to OutKick. “I had a general manager tell me this off-season, ‘Hey man, I know you can still play, you look like you can still play, but if we bring you in it’s going to be a distraction for our starting quarterback.'”

Whitlock then noted, "They're saying [Kaepernick's] agent called the Jets!"

"Did the Jets call back?" Sapp asked. "That's the thing, when you’re trash, you don’t put it on somebody’s doorstep and ring the doorbell and expect them to come out and say 'Hey! What is this trash!'" the former Oakland Raider joked.

"If you're a commodity ... they would pick up the phone and call ... they call your representative, your agent doesn't have to call anybody," he explained.


Kaepernick was also recently in the crosshairs of former MLB pitcher David Wells, who said he flat-out hates Nike for the company's support of Kaepernick.

“When Kaepernick took the knee, and you know, against our national anthem — and I’m a huge, huge military supporter; that’s what my foundation is all about — for Nike to jump on board and reward this guy for that, you know, and the things that are going on. I told myself if I was playing in today’s game, and we had Nike jerseys, I’d tape it up, I’d cut a hole in it.”

Wells placed tape over the Nike logo on his jersey for New York Yankees Old Timers' Day in early September 2023. He also reportedly convinced other players to do so, as well.

Former Yankee David Wells trashes Nike, Colin Kaepernick, and men in women's sports: 'It’s not right and it’s dangerous'

Former Yankee David Wells trashes Nike, Colin Kaepernick, and men in women's sports: 'It’s not right and it’s dangerous'



Former MLB pitcher and two-time World Series champion David Wells took shots at Nike for the company's support of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick when he kneeled during the United States national anthem.

Wells spoke to Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo and explained that had he been playing when Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, he would have cut out the Nike logo from his jersey.

Nike famously began an ad campaign with the quarterback shortly after his publicity stunt, culminating in a widely mocked image of Kaepernick's face that said, "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."

“When Kaepernick took the knee, and you know, against our national anthem — and I’m a huge, huge military supporter; that’s what my foundation is all about — for Nike to jump on board and reward this guy for that, you know, and the things that are going on. I told myself if I was playing in today’s game, and we had Nike jerseys, I’d tape it up, I’d cut a hole in it.”

In early September 2023, Wells appeared at the New York Yankees Old Timers' Day, where he appeared in a Yankees jersey with tape covering the Nike logo, Outkick reported.

Fox Sports reporter Deesha Thosar reported that not only did Wells cover the Nike logo, when asked why, he replied, "I hate Nike!" and reportedly convinced others to cover the logo on their jerseys, as well.

“[The tape] fell off,” Wells joked. “It wasn’t staying on very well. So, I have to find some thicker tape or some stickier tape.”

The former pitcher for the Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Boston Red Sox also discussed the politicization of sports, particularly with transgender athletes competing against women.

“Now with these companies that are coming out and jumping on board and trying to change the game and put a lot of politics in the game, to me, I think it’s confusing a lot of the players because they’re afraid to speak up.”

Wells pointed to former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines as a voice of reason when it comes to men entering women's sports. Gaines famously competed against a male swimmer in national collegiate-level tournaments.

“Riley Gaines, I mean, she is so spot-on when it comes to transgender (athletes) in sports; men playing women’s sports. It’s just, you can’t do that. It’s not right and it’s dangerous," Wells stated.

“If I was to say, I’m going to switch over and I’m going to go play women’s sports, I’m gonna hurt somebody, especially if I’m throwing 95 [MPH].”
