The country would be infinitely better off if the NFL just went away entirely. Cities and counties wouldn’t be co-opted into wasting taxpayer financed bond money building these a$$holes places to play that they grow tired of all too soon and then want to move on to fleece the next public entity, and maybe the brain dead jerks who let this crap rule their lives would have a chance to think about where our country is going. That may still be a problem because these fat-asses are too used to drinking beer, farting and watching TV all weekend, every weekend and as a consequence their cognitive powers have left them.
I remember back when OJ Simpson was on trial, one of my college-degreed engineering employees told me that “OJ could not have done it because he was a sports figure!”
" THROUGH me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
...or semi-pro. I hear those guys make about $30,000. Not per game, per year.
In a perfect world, Colin winds up being Tim Tebow’s pool boy

I wonder how many of the fans will come back?
Between the kneeling protests, “hands up, don’t shoot” protest by NFL players, and the network coverage of the 2016 election, I am done.
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.
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.
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?
Well, you reap what you sow, Colin....
Even EJ Manuel got signed!
He should try for a job with a team outside of the USA. I’m sure he would find that more comforting than the discriminatory USA. s/c
Otherwise, he will have to wait until a mid-season injury sidelines an NFL starter before somebody will take a gamble on him.
