He hasn't seen his name on Sportscenter lately, reality has started settling in.
You can’t prove collusion here. When you alienate yourself through your own actions, that’s not collision. That’s just common business sense. Cardinal rule of business is that you don’t hire problems. They’ll only manifest themselves and contaminate your organization also. Owners have seen, assessed and determined they don’t want that cancer to affect their team. They own the team. Their house, their rules apply. Nothing to see here. Pay not attention to the man behind the curtain. Lol
There was an article about a month ago that talked about how the ravens were gonna sign him. Right before they signed him, his girlfriend tweeted out that the ravens owner was racist. Ray Lewis was in his corner trying to get him signed with the ravens until he/his gf pulled that move.
Despite his actions the military would still take him.
This is exhausting. In my opinions we go to
Sporting events, concerts, etc to get away from politics and the grind of life. And it almost never fails that whoever is performing uses it as a platform for insert xyz cause.
Sure there is social injustices, bad cops, hateful people, etc. There are more than 300 million Americans, we are not all Going to agree.
I personally think you should stand for the flag and national anthem. But that's my opinion as someone who is patriotic. There are others who say that kneeing is the right of the person. I'm not posting to argue either side.
I'm just simply posting to say I'm tired of it, and because of all this I have turned off the NFL games.
Last year CK said he realized his actions would affect his employment, but obviously he didn't think it would matter. Now that he realizes it is going to probably end his career he wants to sue the owners. I believe employers have the right to hire and fire who they wish based on who fits their program/business.
Until you see yourself as equal, you will never be equal. When rules and exceptions have to constantly be created to make you equal then you're never going to be equal. I know this comment may be "out there"'for some of you, and for those that want to argue it are missing the point.
Honestly not trying to be political, just over the politics.

CK is done. And I am glad he is done. He deserves what he has gotten. Has always been a punk and life caught up to him
If you own a company (NFL Team) why can't you hire who you want to hire ?
I have thought a lot about this, is Colin Kaepernick really the guy to lead the fight for discrimination? He was raised in a home with white parents, a star athlete from childhood. Has he ever experienced racism? I doubt that he has, he has lived what most would consider a dream life. This would be like a male leading the fight for women's rights back in the day. How much does he actually understand about racism? I believe him to be an attention seeker who made his stand at the worst possible time. I believe racism exists, I believe reverse racism also exists. Kaepernick could have done a lot of good things with his position to help unite people he instead chose to tap on the wedge that is in this country. In my opinion
Never have understood the term reverse racism. Racism is racism, whether it be towards a minority faction or majority doesnt matter
Just let the man's post stand for what it is. There is no need to correct him. Reverse racism/reverse discrimination is a correct term for describing racism perpetuated by minorities and/or affirmative action.
That word gets thrown around too loosely. You can be a racist for just about anything these days.
Definitely something a racist would say.
You actually typed these words, with a straight face? "Has he ever experienced racism? I doubt he has, he has lived what most would consider a dream life"
1. How would you know? (You don't)
2. If you are a successful minority, you don't face racism?
Try again
Great, I hope he gets paid a massive amount. I'm totally on board with what he is fighting. Holding my fist in the sky for Kaepernick!
It's ok whoever was trying to correct me I have ignored. Their superiority was more than I could take in the past. Or they could just be a clown.
You're just a trolling jackass, and seemingly ignorant at that. That is the problem I have with you.
Racism is discriminating based on skin color or race, so what would the reverse of that be? Thats why the term makes no sense, but carry on with the stalking
Yup, right there with you. If the convicted criminals and abusers of women can work in the NFL then there is a place for Colin. MLK would be proud!
I know how star athletes are placed on a pedestal. I know he has been one since a child. I clearly stated that was my opinion, ironically after your words of wisdom my opinion remains the same.
AKA, I'm a white dude with an inferiority complex and need to feel opressed.
Exactly! I just don't understand the passion for Kap's protest but the silence on the issues that he is protesting.
The fact its commonly used doesnt mean it makes sense. I know you could care less but continue on
Actually, I just believe in hiring on the basis of merit and not skin color. Skin color doesn't make you any more or less qualified.
Come on 1994, there are so many silly and unfounded racial claims made in todays political correct culture it makes your head spin. Last week it was Dr. Seus(spelling) books. Some claims, no doubt are legitimate, but good lord its gone crazy.
Not bad ones , for sure. Nobody deserves to play in the NFL. Everyone deserves to work and support their families
Kaepernick is obviously not a bad QB relative to other ones in the league. Based on merit, he should clearly be in the league.
He has alienated himself. His baggage is too much for any smart owner to take on at this point.
He disqualified himself with some ignorant protests that got him blacklisted. He made his choices, now the owners are making theirs. It would be bad for business for anyone to hire him at this point.
He would make someone a good backup, but he wouldnt accept that position. There are a few teams he could probaly start for, unfortunately for him being a qb for an NFL team carries a responsibility that isnt all on the field
