    San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who refuses to stand for
    the National Anthem, has revealed that he did not cast a vote Tuesday. That
    did not sit well with sports analyst Stephen A. Smith. "My primary beef,"
    Smith said, "is that he made all of this noise about racial injustice, and
    you have to follow through! The one thing that empowers individuals in the United States is the power to vote, so how in God's name could you not
    exercise that right when people have fought and bled and died for you to have that right? A lot of us black folks feel the system could better serve us,
    but he came across as a hypocrite. He not only did not vote, but he made that public, which encourages young people to avoid voting!"

    He needs to have his head examined... and that has nothing to do with football. --
