Randy Moss did not approve of Trent Dilfer’s Colin Kaepernick criticism (video)
When Trent Dilfer criticized San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Sunday, co-analyst Randy Moss made the best angry face to capture how the rest of America felt.
Colin Kaepernick has taken plenty of criticism for his decision to sit during the national anthem in a not-so-silent protest against racism and police brutality in America.
When NFL analyst Trent Dilfer joined Kaep’s critics on Sunday, former wide receiver Randy Moss was…less than pleased.
Though Moss didn’t interject during Dilfer’s rant and nodded along when his fellow ESPN analyst made eye contact, he did shoot him the world’s angriest, funniest glare in response. The phrase “If looks could kill” seems appropriate here.

To be fair, Randy Moss kind of always seems to have a displeased look on his face. Dilfer didn’t seem alarmed to see his co-analyst staring daggers at him during his rant, so perhaps that’s just how Moss’ face looks when he’s thinking about something.
But seeing as how Kaepernick’s protest is about race and police brutality, there’s a good chance Dilfer’s words rubbed Moss the wrong way — even if Dilfer’s said he admires Kaep’s passion for the issue and that his biggest problem with Kaep’s actions is how they’ve “put himself and his stance above the team.”
You know, because football is more important that civil rights issues and whatnot.
Whatever the case, Twitter naturally blew up after Moss’ death glare, finding the whole thing hilarious.

No matter where you stand on Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the national anthem, he has opened up a national dialogue on these issues. While it may be seen as disrespectful to U.S. veterans, there are much larger issues at stake than one player sitting down during a two-minute anthem during one of 16 football games over the weekend.

Kaep’s actions have drawn in plenty of criticism and support from around the league and even across the major professional sports, but if Sunday night taught us anything, it’s the following two things:
Trent Dilfer is still the worst, and you do NOT want to piss Randy Moss off.
