Isn't it also a completely relevant question? Kaepernick has one of the biggest Nike endorsements in Football, on par with top active QB's. Earlier this year, they released the below high production value video showing his apparent readiness. Thereby also furthering his victim status, because clearly """a racist conspiracy""" is preventing him from playing.
If there was any truth to his ability and readiness to start an NFL game under center, Berry would have been on the phone. Heck, the Jets would have been when Rodgers got injured, and there were plenty of such examples in previous years.
Questioning the narrative around Kaepernick has merit from both a sports and political point of view.
