Every team in the NFL could have given him a interview and tryout and determined he wasnt a fit. Just like any of us can job hunt and not get hired collusion my ass.

Like George said try the cfl who knows he may star there and get a second chance at the NFL. But this is about a free payday not work with this guy.

Question is, if he loses, will he incite a riot?

Strongside 10-16-2017 06:12 PM

Yeah, I mean...I am pretty much 'meh' on the whole kneeling during the anthem thing. I come to watch these guys play football...I in no way give a shit about their political views or affiliations. I cheer for the uniform. If you're helping the team win, great...if not, bye. The politics are neither here nor there for me.

That said, with the insane and unprecedented shortage of quality quarterbacks in this league...if this guy were good enough to offset the drama and media circus that he will no doubt bring to the table he'd have a job. Period. The fact of the matter here is that he is not.

THIS IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM DIFFERENT THAN THE TIM TEBOW SITUATION.

If Tim were a good enough NFL quarterback to justify coaches, players and management having to deal with a constant barrage of a media shit storm, he'd have gotten signed. He isn't, and he didn't. End of story.

Kaep is in the exact same boat. He can sue for collusion all he wants...but the fact that he just isn't that good of a player remains.

And yet, I'm 100% confident that he can play the CB or Nickel positions better than Phillip Gaines' sorry ass – so perhaps he should entertain a position switch.

He has a legit case. That said, he can die of an aids fire.

I wonder if he his already tight on money. That's the primary reason why everyone works right? I bet he blew so much of his money already and now he doesn't have paychecks coming in any house and several car payments and a possie to feed when he goes to the clubs.

For me, it boils down to a single point. Since this all started (him not being on a team) we have not heard a single word out of him. Total silence. There have been irrelevant protests at the league office in NY, not a word from Kaep himself. Numerous media and sports personalities fighting for someone to sign him. He still remains silent.

How can you possibly expect any team to sign a guy that can't stand up for himself to be THE leader of 53 alpha males in the locker room? Such false outrage for a guy unwilling to open his mouth regarding this great travesty in roughly a year?

I'm sick of the whole ****ing thing. Sick of the 'protest', sick of the reaction, sick of the media coverage, sick of people telling everybody what to do. Honestly I never gave two shits about the national anthem anyway. Sure, I would stand at an event, would take my hat off if I was wearing one, usually put my hands behind my back. Out of whatever sense of respect I feel obligated to have. All the while hoping that it would end quickly, wasn't sung too badly and that the damn game would finally start.

This whole thing, at least the last couple of weeks once the administration got involved, is misdirection from more important news anyway. Get people arguing about this and they can stop talking about Vegas and hurricanes and North Korean hydrogen bombs. All the while diverting the.conversation completely away from what the protest was supposedly originally about.

Yes he will try, he seems to be sending money out to those who will protest to get him a job.

A guy who listens to his lawyer?

Could he have been setting the NFL up for the suit?

Kap is learning the hard lesson of "what comes around goes around".:shrug:

Pablo 10-16-2017 06:44 PM

I'm just thankful I've been able to witness all the crying and butthurt this guy was able to generate. Very impressive.

Winning hearts one kneel at a time.

It's obviously going on, but Barry Bonds had a .480 on-base percentage and a 1.045 OPS in his final season before MLB teams colluded against him and he didn't win his collusion case against MLB. Kaepernick won't either.

How in the hell does me pointing out that what you think the effect is existed before the cause and thereby can't be due to the cause?

Strongside 10-16-2017 08:19 PM

I am seriously considering going as Kaepernick to a Halloween party this weekend. I already have sleeve tattoos, but I could easily buy a cheap ass jersey (or make one) and wear an afro wig...and maybe carry around a tape player that plays the anthem. Then I can just sit down all night and no one will **** with me.
