As the Allman Bro's once said... "it just ain't my cross to bear." But if other folks want to organize against something, then more power to them. Folks on both ends of the spectrum organize for and against things all the time. You and your friends here are organizing against Kaep getting a job in the NFL. Do you want to be told you can't? Or that continuing to do so means you will no longer be able to do something you love to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Make-Believe Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 It was 100% Kaepernick's right to kneel and protest the national anthem. Zero issue with him doing what he felt was right. It is 100% any and every team's right NOT to invite that protest and controversy by hiring Kaepernick. Zero issue with him not being in the NFL.

The Gipper Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 If you think about it, to some people in this country (Cuban refugees) Kaepernick's wearing of a Fidel Castro shirt is equatable to the guys who are marching around carrying Nazi and Confederate flags. To them, Castro was the embodiment of terror, torture, tyranny, slavery, despotism, hatred, bigotry, and mass murder. Do you think he had any insight to that fact?

The Gipper Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Isaiah Crowell still has a job. WSS It is a matter of talent. Kaepernick is backup talent who thiinks he is better than he is. It is a football matter. I mean, people think that Tim Tebow was given a raw deal because he was a Christiian, and that the NFL didn't want a Christian activist in the league . It is horseshit on both accounts. It is talent...and the willingness to recognize where you are talentwise. Do you think Kaep can hit a curvebal?

Sure that is possible but I don't think that is the case. Owners are out to win football games and make money. What does Kaepernick bring to the table? He brings the baggage of being a distraction to a team which no team wants. Does his talent level outweigh the negative attention and distraction that he would bring? I don't think so. And I believe that is why he is unemployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kaepernick were a member of Al Shabab, and could play like Joe Thomas...someone would sign him likely. (and you contradicted yourself...you said you don't want him....apparently for his politics...which means that you do indeed give a shit...one way or the other).

I personally think the % of owners "banding together to blackball him" is 0%. That said, owners individually and NOT in concert may have said: "talent not worth the distraction".
