Colin Kaepernick scores on long TD run, kisses tats

Colin Kaepernick has caught some (really dumb) flak for his body art, and he got the final word in after a 50-yard touchdown run.

Hey, remember that incredibly dumb, and possibly racist, column about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick being a prominent NFL quarterback with tattoos? I won't do you the disservice of linking to it, but Kaepernick has certainly seen it, and, after scoring on a 50-yard touchdown run against the Miami Dolphins, he either put the whole controversy to bed or kicked it up another level.

Sure, that could be Kaepernick kissing just his biceps and not acknowledging his tattoos, but we like to think Kaepernick’s a little more self-aware than that. His body art really shouldn’t be a controversy, but it’s kind of become one. I guess this could be considered his definitive answer to any questions on the matter.
