Looking past his tantrum didn’t he have a 1 win, ten loss season last year?
The NFL can never acknowledge his antics had anything to do with them losing money. Since the NFL supported him sponsors can take them to court to get out of or reduce their contacts early due to the league purposely devaluing their product. If the NFL admitted to what clearly happened sponsors would easily win most lawsuits. The NFL’s rear is in the wind on this one but they stayed politically correct through the whole thing which is all that matters to them and the left.
When the Raiders won’t even pick you up, you’re done. They’re famous for taking in strays.
You're right, the league won't admit it.
But they don't have to.
You can see what's happening right now. Kaepernick is toxic.
You don't disrespect the national anthem, and thereby the United States, and play in the NFL.
The two acts are mutually exclusive.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Nobody will sign Kaepernick, or if they do, it'll be for well bellow his market value, necause any team who signs him will lose massive amounts of revenue.
Money talks and bullsh!t walks. I hope Kaepernick enjoyed his one season being a disruptor, because the guy basically destroyed his NFL career.
At this point, I don't see how Kaepernick redeems himself, other than to issue some kind of groveling mea culpa...
“The NFL is still living through the backlash that really had its seeds sown with the treatment of Tebow.”
That’s absurd.
Kaepernick’s problem is NOT his politics. He is a terrible QB past whatever prime he had.
However, saying politics is not his problem is like when hearing that JC Penney’s is closing another 138 stores, saying that politics had nothing to do with that!
The idea that half of NFL teams hate what Kaepernick did about the National Anthem is just some Leftist writer’s imagination. NFL team executives are even more PC than other big business executives.
CK has played himself into a backup role for which there are plenty of other candidates who would do as well for less money than CK expects, and be happier in that backup role.
Nobody who can perform is too big a jerk for the NFL.
20 percent genuinely believe that he can’t play.
10 percent fear the backlash from fans after getting him.
10 percent have a mix of those feelings.
60 percent (”the rest”) genuinely hate him and can’t stand what he did [kneeling for the national anthem]. They want nothing to do with him. They won’t move on.

I just had to excerpt those numbers, because it’s not often that you read the truth on that disgusting, spoiled brat’s rudeness. The author says 20% of teams think the loser can’t play and the other 80% don’t want him because either they or their fans can’t stand him. I’d call that a big win for America.
hmmm- the ‘fake American’ (New liberal snowflake trigger word) is unemployed- lemme see if i can conjure up a tear.............. Nope!
There, I said it. It's racism on the part of NFL owners, clear and simple.
-not
I hope Philip Rivers, who I love, retires. I hope the Chargers, who I now hate, sign Colon Krappernick. The most hated quarterback would be a perfect fit for the worst NFL owners, the Spanoses.
So NFL teams won’t hire a quarterback who (1) offended a large part of the fan base, (2) started his NFL career strong but proved since then that he doesn’t have the Right Stuff. Obviously racism.
I would say it is even simpler than that.
NFL teams are first and foremost, businesses and businesses hate bad publicly. Kaepernick’s playing abilities (or lack there of) do not make up for the bad publicity. It does not make good business sense to hire someone who is going to piss off a substantial number of your customers and seriously reduce your team’s earnings potential.
“So no, nothing would be better without the NFL, it would be all the same problems, only with a different league.”
I failed to add in all the other Alphabet Soup Sports “Associations.” These are private businesses. They should not be allowed to gain access to places to “Play” by having the taxpayers finance them. I like motorsports, but I don’t see anyone getting the public to pay for those venues. Bruton Smith owns the Charlotte Motor Speedway (NASCAR). He came out here to California and bought Sears Point Raceway out of bankruptcy, has spent millions of his own money to make it a world-class facility and had to battle with the local dairies and wineries over the noise. But it’s a big time money maker and no government money was involved.
“Kaepernick’s problem is NOT his politics.”
BS. That’s exactly it. I was in SD when he was boo’d off the field. They didn’t boo him because of his performance. That was secondary.
Third, the rest genuinely hate him and can't stand what he did [kneeling for the national anthem]. They want nothing to do with him. They won't move on.
Well, actually we have sort of moved on, haven't we?
Agree, he would be toxic in a locker room.
It’s the way I see it.
Well, you reap what you sow, Colin....
True, but don’t be surprised if black “leaders” start pressuring the NFL with racism charges the longer Kaepernick is left unemployed. Much as I can’t stand these so-called leaders, I would enjoy watching the NFL having to deal with them.
