Everyone has a breaking point.

For San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, that point came on Wednesday when someone decided to unleash some snark in his direction.

It all started innocently enough: Kaep had just finished a workout and was riding the endorphin wave that comes from getting stuff done.

Then some unsuspecting follower thought he could get in a dig and the quarterback wouldn't notice.

Note to the public: There's a chance that if you tweet at a famous person, he or she will see it. Well, Kaepernick saw this one and he returned fire.

And then another:
