It seems that notwithstanding a pathological level of data ingestion, I overlooked (maybe you did too....) the significance of the award to Colin Kaepernick by Amnesty International (whose doings normally register on me, i swear it...).
So, it seems, Amnesty gave him this year's "Ambassador of Conscience award.
"Get tht sonofabitch off the field and up here to get his statuette!"
The fat fuck in the White House has usefully informed us this week that the protests sparked by Kaepernick address issues not germane to their proponents.
