On Wednesday afternoon, the NFL will be forced again to confront a story it must wish to go away. At an hour when the leagues employees should be hustling home from their New York office they will walk into a rally on the street outside, organized to ask the same inexplicable question that has perplexed many for months.
Why is Colin Kaepernick still unsigned?

Release all of the Cleveland scum, and replace them with SEC players. They would field a better team.
No, it’s easy. Take away his eligibility. Problem will solve itself from there on out.
They don’t have to sing the american anthem or say the American pledge but they sure should sit there respectfully, quietly and otherwise unnoticed when the officiating begins.
‘They’ means anybody.
The NFL has become unwatchable now.
Yes. All they need do is announce that the NFL is the National Football League. We play football. We do NOT make or direct government policy.The game honors our Nation, its Banner and its National Anthem. If any player cannot accomodate themselves to those realities without engaging in disrespectful displays, they must play somewhere else. They are no longer in the league. Effective immediately.
"All NFL players, coaches and referees will stand silent during the playing of our national anthem and show the proper respect. Any player, coach or referee who disobeys this directive will be suspended for no less than 10 concurrent games...without pay. Please comport yourselves accordingly. Thank you for your support."
Of course, they have no incentive to do so, thus their alleged conundrum.
if you don’t open the door, you won’t have to deal with what you let in.
This goes for NASCAR, as well. They’ve monkeyed with the program too much. The old way, “line ‘em up and drop the green flag” was good enough to make NASCAR the biggest draw in sports. With all the monkeying, the attendance continues to decline. If it ain’t broke, don’t “fix” it. This week they removed all Confederate Flags. That’s gutless stupidity gone-to-seed! I’m outta’ here!
Phony black man, pussy -whipped, Che Guevara shirt wearing living in a mansion with a sports car douche!
I think FredZarguna’s post said it best, but I know what you mean. Many quarterbacks run because they can’t read, but talent can look downfield while they run.

Why is Colin Kaepernick still unsigned?
Because he is locker room cancer and ticket office kryptonite.
Easy to understand if you do not have a liberal arts/journalism degree.
Follow the money...
Reporters, or ‘journalists’ as they call themselves (there really hasn’t been a journalist since Edward R. Murrow died) are deficient in three areas: Firearms, Military Equipment and Sports............plus math and science...............
The NFL has to get control of their stage. It belongs to the league and not to the talent. The word needs to go out that sideline personnel must stand for the national anthem. If you dont want to stand, you must stay in the tunnels until the anthem is over. That is all. Any on-field disrespect during the anthem will be fined $10,000.
Randall actually made the transition to being an (almost) pure pocket passer late in this career. His best season as a QB was with the MiniVikes.
Sure they know how to stop it. Make it a condition of employment by the NFL or it’s teams during contract signing.
If you do anything while in the team uniform that can be viewed as being disrespectful to the nation, you will sit out the game and not be paid.
Three such incidents in one season and you will be suspended by the league for 6 games and not eligible to play in the play off.
The fourth incident or during playoffs and you will be suspended by the league for the next season.
It is an issue of will, not ability
The owners and coaches just don’t have the BRASS to stand up for America. It’s Americans who’ve allowed the owners and coaches, by buying tickets, clothing and other play things, to pay these overgrown football playing children millions of dollars. American viewers in the stands and tv should stop watching and buying football goodies. How long with these super arrogant, ungrateful ninnies last?
Belichick and Kraft are patriots. They also don’t kowtow to punks.
Well said.
