SO, did Kaepernick have a legit point?

4 yards passing and 5 sacks, then benched! Ha ha ha! SCREW YOU!
 
I've always loved Harrison. Now I love him even more. Thank you sir.
 
So now that he's unemployed he announced that he's going to stand from now on. What a sellout! Way to pick your heroes, Tibs!

Maybe he's still afraid of Harrison...or he wants to be a Steeler haha.
 
Like most of these liberals, he's all for social justice, until it affects his paycheck, then it's different. What a phony.
The only people more phony will be the media liberals who praised him and will now refuse to criticize him for this blatant sell out move.

Now that he's looking for a job, yeah.
 
Good luck Kap finding your life's work. I hope you managed your finances well. You are going to need it.
 
Predictions for his next career:

1. He'll try acting, fail miserably, end up in porn.
2. His fiance is a BLM leader. He'll become a BLM leader himself.
3. MSNBC will hire him to sit next to Rachel Madcow.

1. Please no. No no no and eww
2: Chances very high. MTC's gut feeling thinks about a 90% chance
3: MTC's gut feeling predicts about a 75% chance. Madcow and the lesbo haircut and Kapperdink and his tattoos and oddball way of thinking = made for tv ratings
 
I **** you not, all afternoon on 93.7 they were asking 1) should the Steelers sign Revis and 2) should the Steelers sign Kapernick to be Ben's backup?
Most of the callers agreed with me, yes on Revis and no on Kapernick. Politics aside, he just ain't that good.

He was a trendy QB. The league caught onto him.
 
Meh people have done worse to appease their piece of ***... I always saw it as that... then he kind of got caught in the media frenzy and had to push through it... likely cost him his career... taking on a weird political stance because of a woman is probably more frequent than one thinks... in any case there were better options for him to articulate what he claimed he wanted without looking like he was anti American...

In a way I feel bad for the guy. He is just dumb in so many ways.

The people who oughta have their ***** kicked are the people using him to get whatever the hell their point was across, because that is what they did. Guys like that horse's *** Harry Edwards. They have to relive the 1960s. See, Kap will go, and they will prey on the next dumb athlete to come by. Until you get rid of guys like Harry Edwards, it will continue.

Have you watched Revis play lately? I don't want him either. Not even at the vet min.

That's makes him better than everyone we have except Willie Gay. :towel2:
Actually I think he's one of those guys who may have lost a step at cornerback but would be a perfectly fine safety.
 
I would respect him more (and hear me out before you all think I'm siding with him) if he continued to kneel. THEN it would show that he really means what he says and that he does feel passionately about something. Do I agree with it? No. Now that he's testing the market, he's saying he WILL stand.....which shows that he isn't as courageous as he thinks he is.

How long was Kap gonna keep this up though?

A protest is temporary. An event to make a statement.. All forms of protests whether they be marches, sit-ins, hunger strikes, come to an end one way or another.

And what a convenient time for Kaperdick to give it a rest. He shoulda protested a game or two to make his stupid statement and then called it quits.

Eh, this is all absolutely perfect - to me. It worked the way it should have.

Colin has the right to be a dumbass because this is the USA and we give people the right to Freedom of Speech. Amen for that.

He exercised that right and polarized a good portion of the nation. It also started a national discussion I think was good to have. Thumbs up.

Most rational Americans disagreed with his protest. In the end, the "free market" spoke, so to speak. Without any violence, Krap eventually felt the justice of "social engineering" (as I say to my kids often). He behaved in a way that most Americans, and his employer disagreed with. And when it came time for his team to cut or release him, when they had that option, they realized he was far far more trouble than he was worth and let him go, probably happily. Because his behavior wasn't socially condoned (in general), he engineered himself out of the organization and onto the streets.

And now that social engineering is working against him still. No team wants him.

Colin finds himself on the street without a microphone, without a team, unloved, and unwanted - much due to his politics (obviously a good bit due to his diminished talent). He wasn't fired. He wasn't hurt. The "free market" and social engineering aspects of it all just came to bite him in the *** in the end.

Good.
 
He hasn't been released or opted out yet as far as I can see. Just sayin'...

Colin Kaepernick has opted out of his contract, becoming a free agent.
This was the fully expected move. Kaepernick leaves behind one year and $16.9 million to hit the free-agent market. The 49ers haven't ruled out bringing Kaepernick back, but it seems like a total long shot. The Jets have been rumored to have some interest, while reports out of Cleveland have indicated the Browns will not target him. Kap should be able to compete to start somewhere after a solid second half of last season, throwing 16 touchdowns to four picks.
