A ridiculous column from David Whitley of AOL Sporting News had people buzzing on Twitter. Whitley compares 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick's tattoos to those of prisoners. Sloppy, poor, played-out. Do better.
Kaepernick's parents were among those upset at the column.
Words from our friend Vinny Goodwill.
Just read David Whitley's column…terrible, lazy. I see we can never advance the conversation

I don't get how a lazy column turns into a referendum on what black folks do wrong or what black athletes do wrong… I quit
