Football How do you feel about NFL being sued by Kaepernick? - Page 8

Jodi Foster gave him a role back in 2011!

Guess what neither did the NFLPA but they are supporting anything that takes 5 years off their CBA agreement. Union slimeballs...

2) He can voice his beliefs on his own time. Not on the sideline where he is employed to play football. He didn't voice them he acted in a manner that disrespected the flag and the words of the anthem. And yes he shouldn't have done so on the time clock. Yet he broke rules that were not punishable by the NFL and the 49'ers were too scared to act on his action and suspend him.

3) Not really relevant to the conversation, so I'm not addressing it.

Which backup job has Kap turned down?

Which backup job was he attempting to get? He didn't opt out of his 49ers contract to go be a backup somewhere. He thought he was going to get a starting gig. When that didn't materialize, his agent put out feelers that he would accept a backup job. He overestimated his own value. So then the Seahawks and Ravens started to test the waters. As was already pointed out, his girlfriend called the Ravens owner a racist and a slave owner and called Ray Lewis an "Uncle Tom." He muddied the waters and then tried to play nice afterward. At that point, it wasn't salvageable.

And putting all that aside, who really wants this circus for a BACKUP QUARTERBACK? Not even the starter.

None of this requires collusion. That's what really gets me. None of the owners had to call each other or sit down in a room and agree not to sign him. No one wants to deal with this nonsense.

I don't know. Someone made the claim he turned down some backup jobs. I was wondering which ones. I was not aware that there was a pending offer from someone.

To people who say he is a backup at best. There is no way he is worse than the Jags and Browns starting QB's.

Too bad Lewis didn't murder Kaepernick.

Seems like a harsh thing to do to someone for kneeling

Oh **** off. Go back to drinking and watching fox and friends....moron.

**Ragged Robin** · 10-16-2017, 10:19 AM

seems pretty dumb and a waste of a lot of money he probably could use to support his currently unemployed lifestyle instead

Gravedigger · 10-16-2017, 10:56 AM

Some court will give it to him as a severance package. I have no problem with it, their are tons of worse lawsuits out there than this one, by far.

I agree. The NFL will settle, which is what Komrade Krapernick wants, imo.

I can't believe people actually defend the nutjob.

Maybe he should add Ray Rice and they can make it a class-action lawsuit.

Kaep has some support, Ray Rice would hurt his case associating with him given the video/backlash.

Kaepernick is buying that support from his so called foundation that I can't seem to find financial's on....

Kap's angling for a settlement. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Gonna be tough to actually prove collusion unless teams were really careless, and even then you'd have to show teams conspiring with one another in hard copy form.
Good luck with that.
