| HOUSTON (AP) — DeAndre Hopkins says he arrived to Houston’s game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a No. 7 jersey bearing the hashtag “IMWITHKAP” to support Colin Kaepernick and his protests of social and racial injustice because: “he’s standing up for what’s right.”Hopkins was photographed entering the stadium in the black jersey with white lettering and posted the photograph on social media before the game with an emoji of a hand making a peace sign and the word “love.”When asked why he wore the jersey during a news conference after the game Braxton Miller Jersey White , Hopkins would only say it was because “That’s my homie.” But the star receiver later discussed his motivation for the clothing choice to The Associated Press.Kaepernick created controversy in 2016 when he began kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest police brutality and social and racial injustice in America. He opted out of his contract after the end of that season and hasn’t been able to get a job in the NFL since. He’s suing the league for collusion.“I support his movement and everything that he’s doing,” Hopkins told The AP. “In my eyes he’s a legend. In a lot of people’s eyes he’s a legend. He’s standing up for what’s right.”Hopkins said he knows a lot of people criticize Kaepernick, but he wouldn’t let that deter him from vocally supporting the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.“There’s going to be negative things said about him, but I just want to let him know that a lot of people support him, not just (me), but my family http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-deshaun-watson-jersey , other people on this team,” Hopkins said. “Some people won’t stand up and speak out and say they support him because of what might come behind that. But I know that after this life is done I stood up for something that’s right, not just for where I’m at right now but for people after me.”Kaepernick retweeted Hopkins’ tweet of the picture and wrote: “Appreciate love from one of the best … thank you brother!!!”Hopkins believes it’s “very unfair” that Kaepernick can’t get another NFL job, and exaggerated the number of quarterbacks he played with in Houston before the Texans drafted Deshaun Watson last year to illustrate his point on the subject.“He can still play,” Hopkins said. “I know he can still play … he can win games for an NFL team. I’ve played with dozens of quarterbacks and I can honestly say that I think he belongs in this league.”Hopkins had seven receptions for 91 yards Sunday as the Texans beat the Cleveland Browns 29-13 to extend their franchise-record winning streak to nine games. The Texans will host the winner of the Colts/BESFs game, but when will they play?Find out here!"With the Texans winning the AFC South Jay Prosch Jersey White , it was a certainty that the Texans would host a playoff game on Wild Card Weekend.The only thing that was still up in the air was who they would play, when, and on what channel.We now have answers on two of those three questions.The Colts and BESFs are still playing, so the opponent is still uncertain, but it’s looking more and more likely we’re getting a rubber game against the Colts.This seventh AFC South game will take place on Saturday afternoon at 3:35 p.m. CST (1:35 p.m. PST) on ESPN.That the Texans are playing the first game of Wild Card weekend is nothing new, as the Texans seem to always get the first game on the schedule.But now we get to listen to the awkward strains of Joe Tessitore and Jason Witten call the game with special appearances by Booger McFarland and his crane o’ wonders along the sidelines of NRG Stadium.Join us then Alfred Blue Jersey , gentle Texans fan, for what will be an afternoon you will forget for the rest of your lives!Oh, and there are other games happening too, I suppose you might want to see the rest of the Wild Card schedule too:Saturday(6) Colts at (3) Texans - 3:35 p.m. (ESPN)(5) Seahawks at (4) Cowboys - 7:15 p.m. (FOX)Sunday(5) Chargers at (4) Ravens - 12:05 p.m. (CBS)(6) Eagles at (3) Bears - 3:40 p.m. (NBC)UPDATE:We also know when and who the Texans would play in the Divisional Round if they beat the Colts on Saturday afternoon. |
