Kaepernick is unemployed by his own doing
The left wing of the sports media can't figure out why he hasn't been signed, and is even resorting to blackball/collusion claims.
Kaepernick is not employed because given his problems (lightning rod of controversy due to his activism), he's not talented enough to overcome those. At best, he's a starter who could yield maybe 5-6 wins. On the flip side, he's a backup. I want my backup QB to be seen and not heard. I don't want organizational resources being expended on dealing with that nonsense from the media, fanbase, etc. If you argue that he's a starter, I still wouldn't want him. If I'm teams like the Jets (sup ip), I want to go 1-15 next year because I want to win the Sam Darnold sweepstakes. Winning 5 games next year is a terrible result.
I support his right to be an activist, but employers don't have to support them unconditionally. Kaepernick made himself less employable with his actions, and it's his own fault. Fake black dude from the Daily News doesn't understand this.

Re: Kaepernick is unemployed by his own doing
Further to your sentiment, I agree he gets what he deserves. He should not have been so eager to direction attention to himself over his team. I would not want him on my team.

Yup. He's not a bad person and don't begrudge him wanting progress in the world, but his actions went against the culture of the NFL.ip_law-hokie wrote:Further to your sentiment, I agree he gets what he deserves.

Yes, he wanted progress as he saw it. Doesn't mean I agree with it, but continue to be triggered. [emoji106]CFB Apologist wrote:Progress.. lolnolanvt wrote:Yup.

As long as it's progress as you see it, nolan won't begrudge you. This is what happens when you have a generation of kids who learn their ethics in daycare by watching power rangers and Barney the purple dinosaur.CFB Apologist wrote:Progress is a cute little term you libs like to throw around, yet it doesn't mean what you think it means...nolanvt wrote:Yes, he wanted progress as he saw it.

Kaepernick when to crap as soon as he signed a huge contract. Literally, he became Crapernick as soon as he got paid.
It happens.

I thought it was the whackjob girlfriend? Likely all the same, get big paycheck, get black radical girlfriend, turn into a whacko to please her and lose it all.

A lot of stupid people athletes are incredibly lazy. I'm amazed that the NFL hasn't devised a more incentive-based pay scheme.

Exactly - NFL has it figured out better than anyone.
