Colin Kaepernick unloads on Twitter troll for questioning his offseason workouts
By Sam Richmond
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick did not hold back when a Twitter user questioned the work he is putting in this offseason.
On Wednesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided to share with his Twitter followers just how much work he’s putting in to improve this offseason.
1000 abs.... arm workout..... 10 min straight on the jump rope.... 2 hour study session in February..... that's what we call a recovery day!

While most would view that workout as impressive and one that shows how serious Kaepernick views his craft, one Twitter user didn’t see it that way and decided to let the quarterback know.
@Kaepernick7 @49ers ab workout won't help find open receiver #study

This tweet turned out to be a huge mistake because Kaepernick saw it and proceeded to absolutely unload on the Twitter troll.
@battman_returns are you illiterate or just ignorant? Read the tweet again better yet give me your breakdown of every defensive coverage

That, folks, is how you destroy a troll.
While simply ignoring Twitter trolls is the likely the best move for Kaepernick and athletes everywhere, it’s hard to blame the QB for getting fed up considering just how much time he’s clearly dedicating to football this offseason.
Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews is among those that supported Kaepernick’s rant.
@Kaepernick7 good for u

The 49ers drafted Kaepernick in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft. In 48 career games, Kaepernick has thrown for 8,415 yards, 50 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
After failing to lead the 49ers to the playoffs this past season for the first time in his career, the 2015 season is poised to be an important one for Kaepernick. Contrary to what this Twitter troll thinks, it seems Kaepernick is putting the work in to make it a successful year.
