“Still With You”: Amidst Life’s Trials, Colin Kaepernick’s Better Half Nessa Stands Strong for Abandon QB’s 36th Birthday

Colin Kaepernick, the former QB for the San Francisco 49ers, is celebrating his 36th birthday today. The footballer-turned-social activist had a rollercoaster of an NFL career before his release in 2016. Though Kaep has recently had a rollercoaster of a time, his long-term girlfriend, Nessa Diab, has stood by him without fail.

Kaepernick hasn’t played pro football in over 7 years but recently tried to return to the NFL in A-Rod’s stead as the Jets’ new QB but was denied. Since then, the fans can’t seem to stop talking about his potential return as Kaepernick continues to exist as a fallen star of the NFL. Today, Kaepernick celebrates his 36th birthday, and Nessa posted a series of heartfelt images on the occasion.

Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend wishes him a happy birthday on Instagram

On 3rd November, Nessa Diab took to her Instagram account to post 3 images of Colin Kaepernick on account of his 36th birthday. In one of the stories, she posted a photo of Kaepernick taking a knee during one of the matches and captioned it, “STILL WITH YOU @Kapernick7 HAPPY BIRTHDAY  ❤️❤️❤️ #IMWITHKAP.” Diab was referring to Kaepernick’s political stance that ultimately led to his release and was hinting at her support for the move regardless of what was procured after.

Kaepernick’s knee cost him his entire career but even after going to war with the NFL, he is back and trying to restart his career again. The lengthy case battle finally came to an end when Kaepernick reached a settlement deal with the organization and was awarded an undisclosed amount of several million. But even after everything that transpired, the fans still want to see him back on the field as he has a lot of talent to show and a lot of things to prove that were left unsaid. But while Kaepernick is an inspirational figure, he’s had several failed ventures in life due to unforeseen circumstances

Colin Kaepernick’s literary troubles and his jeopardized football career

Undoubtedly, Kaepernick has seen his fair share of hardships in his life. He published a book titled, ‘I Color Myself Different,’ which saw worldwide critical acclamation. But as fate would have it, Scholastic Book Fair, the global publishing company recently announced that it will be making books related to racial discrimination a part of an optional category in the American education system. Thus, it relegated his reputation to being a renowned literary author.

In terms of his football career, he saw a glimmer of hope when the CFL (Canadian Football League) announced that one of their teams, B.C. Lions will be putting Kaepernick on the negotiation list. While he’ll get an opportunity to play football, it would certainly not be with the NFL he’s loved for so many years. It was also announced that Dwayne Johnson, the owner of the XFL League, made an offer to Kaepernick to join the minor league but Kaepernick refused as the pay is far less than the NFL he was banished from. The world of football hasn’t been kind to him but the fans still hold out hope for his return to the gridiron someday.
