In the grand tradition of celebrity announcements that may or may not be serious, Colin Kaepernick’s declaration that he’d consider leaving for Russia has left everyone—supporters and critics alike—wondering what his next move will be. Will he actually board a flight to Moscow, or is this just another way to highlight his ongoing battle for respect in the U.S.?

Only time will tell. But if one thing’s for sure, it’s that Colin Kaepernick knows how to keep people talking. Whether he’s kneeling on a football field or musing about life in Russia, he’s not going away quietly.

And if he does end up in Russia, well, we can only hope he packs a warm coat.
