Joe Rogan Believes Not ‘Elite’ Colin Kaepernick Wouldn’t Have Suffered His Fate if He Was LeBron James of Quarterbacks

The color commentator of the UFC, Joe Rogan, is one of the biggest names in the company. The former fear factor host enjoys unmatched fandom, which very few others in the company can claim to have. Joe Rogan also hosts his own podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ and talks about various issues extending from the fight game to politics and sports.

The named stand-up comedian, actor, and writer, Greg Fitzsimmons joined Rogan on one such episode of ‘JRE’. The two talked about how people can overcome every criticism if they are exceptional in their own field.

Fitzsimmons pulled up the example of NFL quarterback, ‘Colin Kaepernick’. Kaepernick protested in the US by kneeling during the playing of the American national anthem at the beginning of an NFL game in 2016.

His team, the “San Francisco 49ers” sidelined him, due to this act.

Joe Rogan said Colin Kaepernick faced it because he wasn’t exceptional

Joe Rogan presented his opinion on this issue. He implied that all these issues related to someone’s expressions or ideas won’t matter if they were exceptional in their field.

He said, “Tom Brady was a giant Trump supporter but people still loved him, even lefties who were football fans”. His views were apparent that what you believe or say doesn’t matter till you are winning on the field.

Talking about Kaepernick, Fitzsimmons mentioned, “There’s an argument that he was driven out for his politics.” Rogan was quite ignorant about Kaepernick’s on-field stats as he asked, “How was his performance? I don’t know much about football.”

Fitzsimmons also stated that Kaepernick was considered “a first rated starting quarterback.” Rogan asked in a bewildered tone, “They stopped using him because of his protests?” Fitzsimmons replied, “Obviously, it’s quantifiable to some degree.”

Simplifying the situation, Rogan stated, “If he was the LeBron James of quarterbacks, if he was just like this undeniable motherf**ker of motherf**ker quarterbacks, I bet he would’ve got away with it.” Fitzsimmons was in agreement with Rogan as he said, “He was on the bubble. He was not an elite quarterback.”

Rogan believes that as Colin Kaepernick wasn’t the absolute best at what he did, he had to face the consequences of his ‘kneel down’ protest.

What do you think? Was it right to sideline Kaepernick from his team due to his protest?
