Boomer Esiason: It’s OK to take a knee…if you’re a pussy!

NFL fable Boomer Esiason has cursed quarterback Colin Kaepernick for holding a knee to criticism military savagery — yet it turns out he has a double-standard on that sold form of expression.

If you’re a cat, you’re cool.

Wearing his other shawl as commissioner of a Feline Football League and a annual Kitten Bowl, Esiason shielded a mouser’s unalienable right to make a mount by holding a knee.

“Every cat has their right to demonstrate how they feel,” Esiason told a Daily News during halftime of a taping of a Hallmark Channel eventuality on Wednesday. “And it’s something we try to get opposite to them in a locker room before a game: We wish them to be happy and in sequence to be happy, they have to be themselves.”

Colin Kaepernick is not alone in his criticism anymore

The sly flip-flop is a distant cry from what Esiason pronounced final month, when a CBS sportscaster and former Jet quarterback suggested that he binds humans to a opposite customary than cats.

“I can't contend it in a strongest, many approach way, that it’s an annoyance and it’s about as unpleasant as any contestant has ever been,” Esiason pronounced about Kaepernick.

“And we don’t caring what a means is. The NFL football margin is not a place for somebody to serve their domestic ambitions. Can we suppose if a actor went out on a margin with a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat? It’s a same thing.”

But Esiason feels differently about cats — to him, a cat gridiron is not a same dedicated place.

“If they wish to be adopted — and no one is going to take an unfortunate kitten — (they need to) put on a good performance,” he said. “It’s all about them being adopted during a finish of a game.”

Esiason urged sports fans to compensate tighten courtesy to Kitten Bowl IV stars, Pawdell Beckham Jr., Howie Longhair and Tony Slomo, yet he pronounced Beckham’s relentless showboating “becomes a daze out there.”

At slightest Esiason’s comments on a cat phenom were unchanging with what he pronounced final year about a likewise named and equally hot-tempered Giant, whom Esiason pronounced was an “embarrassment” for losing it in a diversion opposite a Carolina Panthers.

Esiason was on palm to foster Kitten Bowl IV, slated to atmosphere on a Hallmark Channel before Super Bowl LI on Feb. 5.

The event, that is purr-fectly lovable on a own, has a critical purpose: a adoption of scores of cathletes from North Shore Animal League America.

But Esiason coughed adult a fur round on a toughest doubt of a day: Is he a dog or a cat “person”?

“Both, actually,” he said. “I am a dog owners and we did have a pleasing Persian cat with blue eyes. I’m an animal partner and we wish to find these kittens a good home.”
