Here Are 7 People Who Actually Deserve The ‘Citizen Of The Year’ Award GQ Gave To Colin Kaepernick
By Evan Berryhill
GQ recently announced its 2017 Men of the Year honorees. One honoree is a basketball superstar. Another is a late-night television host with ratings hovering over 3 million viewers per episode. Yet another is Wonder Woman. And finally, there is a disgruntled, unemployed former NFL football player who is on a political mission.
That’s right. GQ honored retired professional football player Colin Kaepernick as its 2017 “Citizen of the Year.”
To recap Kaepernick’s exemplary qualifications for “Citizen of the Year,” he started a peaceful protest to bring awareness to racial injustice in the form of kneeling during the national anthem and in front of the American flag during the NFL pregame ceremonies.
