After supporting Serena Williams during her catsuit controversy last month, ex-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has now come to the defense of NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has not been included in this year’s season.
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.#ColinKaepernick #NFL
