Liberals hold rallies across the nation demanding that . . . someone sign Colin Kaepernick?

Priorities.

I doubt they’ve lost interest in impeaching Trump, but I guess it says something about the American left that they can make other demands driven by pure ideology without any regard for the merit of the idea itself.

The left - at least those who know what football is - has become convinced thaat Colin Kaepernick is being “blackballed” by all 32 NFL teams because he refused to stand for the national anthem last year. This has become such an article of faith that they are now getting ready to hold rallies in 15 different cities demanding that someone sign the unemployed quarterback:

Saying Colin Kaepernick has been “ostracized” over his political views, a New York City-based group is voicing its support for the free agent quarterback by organizing rallies around the country Wednesday.

Krappernick suits up and I will not watch the NFL this year.

Just like last year.

The NFL teams should say they’ll sign Kaepernick when Ann Coulter gets to speak at Berkeley.

The exercise of freedom of speech can have consequences.The Football league allowed Kaperprick to exercise his free speech rights, but its not against the constitution if they do not like what he did.

The nation does not want Kapersnick, and if they keep him, it will effect the bottom line and ticket sales, as well as add risk to whatever franchise he would play for. That’s not black balling, that’s good business sense.

At ten bucks a pair he can assume his kneeling posture and shine my shoes (or kiss my a$$). Go home and get your shine box, Colin.

Sign Colon and get Michael Sams for free. That way he could make passes at his tight end. It'd be a gridiron lefty love fest.

God these people are morons - can't they go back to defending death cult known as islam and its homicidal members called muslims, you know the death to America theme they so enjoy, and Russians helped Trump steal the election.

Maybe the snowflakes should buy themselves a football team for their ‘social justice warrior’ cr*p.
The Kap story outcome truly warms my heart.

Well of course these ‘idiots’ are behind this nickenpoop...he disrespects our Flag, Our Country and everyone in it...only for the ‘money’ always follow the money...

If the NFL or any Professional Organizations wants to make any money off the American People, they best not have someone on their fields that has as much disrespect as what this idiot was showing!!!

BOYCOTT NFL; NBA; NHL AND ANY ONE ELSE THAT DEMANDS ANYTHING BELOW THE STANDARDS OF OUR GREAT NATION!!!

According to the left his 1-10 record last season should be enough to make any team jump through hoops to sign him.

Let’s see I as an NFL owner of an 2 billion dollar enterprise will teach my coaches that I do not want this public relation nightmare anywhere. Ear my team. Maybe the commissioner can hire him to read the draft selections next year

Kaepernick’s time in the sun is over. He had his chance and blew it; now he should skulk off into a hidden corner and fade away. No one on the left will even remember his name a year from now.
