After backing Serena Williams, former Iranian President Ahmadinejad now supports Kaepernick, says he should be in NFL
The popular football quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, now has the backing of the unlikeliest of supporters — former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Iranian leader, who is a holocaust denier and is known for human rights violations, strangely decided to back Kaepernick and slammed the National Football League's (NFL) decision to keep the controversial quarterback off all rosters.
The NFL has reportedly kept the quarterback off all the 32 53-man rosters as the latest NFL season is set to begin on Thursday. Ahmadinejad denounced the American sports league on Twitter and said: "The #NFL season will start this week, unfortunately once again @Kaepernick7 is not on a NFL roster. Even though he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league."
