Colin Kaepernick’s Girlfriend Nessa Calls Out the NFL Again: ‘I Really Don’t Like Y’all’

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Colin Kaepernick‘s girlfriend Nessa Diab blasted the NFL again.

It’s something she’s done in the past since team owners have been accused of colluding to keep Kaepernick out of the league for kneeling during the National Anthem. He’s been doing it since 2016 to protest police brutality against the Black community, as well as other injustices.

Nessa said if it wasn't for Colin Kaepernick, she'd slap someone from the NFL.

So far Kap hasn’t criticized the league on social media or anywhere else. He hasn’t even done interviews of the alleged collusion, which has been vastly different from Nessa’s approach.

In her latest message about the league, she expressed frustration at the NFL and what her man has been dealing with.

Nessa also said if it wasn’t for Kap, she’d have to put hands on somebody. Plus, the California native said she’s far different these days, which is another reason she wouldn’t go that route.

“I really don’t like y’all,” wrote Nessa on Instagram. “If it wasn’t for @kaepernick7 I probably would have slapped the sh– out of all you clowns. But I’m a better person now. Lol.”

Nessa received all kinds of advice after the post. Some people encouraged her to express her violent side, while others wrote the opposite.

“Slap them anyway, queen,” one person commented

“Keep your composure,” wrote another. “They want you to lash out.”

Just last month, Nessa slammed the league and said it’s shameful that teams know Kap is NFL ready but continue to turn their backs on him.

“Colin trains everyday,” she stated. “All the teams know. But they’d rather keep blackballing him. The league, owners and management are the ones who don’t want him to play.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
