Colin Kaepernick makes incredibly insensitive remark about Houston's flood image

Storms ripped through Texas on Monday and caused major flooding in Houston, even trapping Rockets fans in the arena after Game 4 of the NBA Playoffs. On Tuesday, Colin Kaepernick posted a photo referencing the storms, but it was not in good taste.

The 49ers quarterback captioned a picture of Houston's flooded streets saying, "I warned you the #7tormscoming !!! #Houston."

Kaepernick used the #7tormscoming hashtag before, referencing his playing number, but using it in the aftermath of a serious event like the flood was obviously a mistake.

While he removed it from Instagram, the damage had already been done. Kaepernick quickly tweeted he didn't mean to disrespect anyone.

Later, he issued a more formal apology, stating he wasn't aware of the severity of the storm.
