‘He Is Not Good Enough to Be Controversial’: Kim Kardashian’s New Flame Pete Davidson Has Wild Take on Colin Kaepernick’s NFL Situation

Stand-up comedian Pete Davidson gave former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his situation a major spotlight in 2018. It took place during a segment in the beloved Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update Summer Edition, where Davidson candidly addressed Kaepernick’s exile from the NFL. It was a satirical segment where Davidson compared himself with the former Niners QB and invoked some key points.

This particular Weekend Update segment embodies to fans of the show why the SNL and Davidson combination is too hot to handle. The comedian begins by explaining the reasons behind a section of fans being upset over Kaepernick. Apart from making quirky comments about the player, Davidson makes a surprising point about how the league views Kaepernick.

While talking about why the NFL is making an example out of Kaepernick, Davidson states, “The NFL isn’t really screwing him because he is controversial. It’s because he is not good enough to be controversial.” The comedian shares his belief that being a Top 20 athlete in any sport protects them from exposure.

He even moves on to compare Kaepernick’s relevancy in the NFL similar to his own on the show. The comedian cleverly integrates the reality of the whole situation with his own for creating a hilarious moment.

There remain questions about Kaepernick being better than present NFL QBs. Kap might be getting the chance he has been deprived of for years. Amid reports of the Las Vegas Raiders being impressed by his tryouts, Kaepernick’s return to the NFL is realistic. The new 2022 NFL campaign will provide the former Niners QB the opportunity to showcase his abilities. He can show what he has to offer with a new team and in a different situation.
