It seems like every other day a professional athlete is being accused of sexual harassment or assault. About half of the accusations are legit and the other half are generally sensationalized tales from individuals who are in search of their next big pay day.
And, the professional athlete under fire today is… San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The NFL player is currently under investigation by the Miami Police Department for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at a hotel in Miami earlier this month. According to TMZ the possible assault took place at Viceroy Hotel, and the investigation is still in its early stages, no actual charges have been filed against Kaepernick yet.
It should probably be mentioned that the alleged sexual assault took place less than a month after 49ers’ head coach Harbaugh publicly discussed Kaepernick’s upcoming contract renewal (Kaepernick’s current contract runs out in 2014). The head 49ers coach announced at a NFC meeting that Kaepernick should be valued at around $18 Million.
It seems like too much of a coincidence that Colin Kaepernick’s name and the word “18 Million Contract” were plastered all over the internet for the past week and a half, and then all of a sudden someone remembers that he sexually assaulted her a month ago. Do you think that the 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick really sexually assaulted someone last month in Miami? Or do you think he is the next professional athlete to fall victim to a sensationalized story created by a greedy scam artist? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
