Former NFL star Colin Kaepernick is rumored to be unemployed and broke. The Facebook page America – Love It Or Leave claimed that the ex-49ers QB is freeloading off his teammates. It posted a meme allegedly revealing Kaepernick’s financial condition.

Is Colin Kaepernick really unemployed and broke?

In the meme, America – Love It Or Leave wrote that Kaepernick’s teammate wants him off his sofa. The caption of the post hilariously defended their claim. The page wrote that the NFL removed Kaepernick from active status last year. So, his source of income, which was short camps with farm teams, has come to an end.

“He’s got nothing left. He should have just stood for the anthem,” the caption read. The page concluded by taking a sarcastic jab at the former athlete. It said that it looks like activism doesn’t pay the bills after all.

However, the information provided by the meme is not valid. America—Love It Or Leave posts satirical content on its feed. The owner has registered the page as satire/parody. The meme also has a ‘Rated Satire’ label. It is run by an individual named Busta Troll on Facebook.

“A subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense network of trollery. Nothing on this page is real,” the description read. There is no concrete proof that Kaepernick is unemployed or broke. Neither of his teammates have said they wanted him off his sofa.
