Flavored Kaepernick
It was bound to happen. Ben & Jerry’s, an uber-liberal ice cream company located in Vermont, has named a flavor for former National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick, better known for starting the practice of athletes kneeling during the national anthem than for his NFL prowess.
Proceeds from the “Change the Whirled” flavor are to go to the former athlete’s anti-police foundation “Know Your Rights Camp” and will be matched by company owners Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield.
“I’ve teamed up with [Ben & Jerry’s] to serve up joy on the journey to justice!” Kaepernick tweeted last week.
His foundation’s website says it identifies and teams “up with top defense lawyers and civil rights lawyers nationwide to provide legal resources for those in need.”
