Marshall: NFL teams can show support by hiring Kaepernick

[Night Hides Not]

Nobody wants to pay $10 million for a backup quarterback with tons of baggage. The average salary for a backup QB is well under $5 million.

As usual, and as sure as night follows day, every “injustice” always comes down to the 1% demanding the right to decide who gets hired, who gets their cake the way they want it, or who has to be fired.

Marshall: NFL teams can show support by hiring Kaepernick

I love all the comments you have received on this topic.

I think Colin Kaerpernick will not be hired ever again by any NFL team since he started taking the knee during our National Anthem and disrespecting our U.S. Flag.

We will see the response from the fans this weekend to see how it has affected the NFL. I do hope that Roger Goodell gets fired as the commissioner of the NFL. He is a piece of work.

I think these Black football players do not understand that we just had 8 years of an America Hating president in Obama and the FLOTUS Moochelle hated this country as well. We know these things for a fact.

Even our darling MSM has never ever said or written anything about our America Hating Obama and FLOTUS.

I can guarantee you that an NFL team will have a pregame ceremony in honor of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson before they ever sign that @sshole.

I was going to say they can’t really be that stupid.... but that has been proven time and time again...

[Calvin Locke]

Let *them* buy their own franchise, and then they can hire whatever eligible player they want.

And, since Goodell has his head up his butt, I'm sure if they want to "necklace" people (sans flaming gasoline) during the anthem, they could get away with that too.

Here’s A Better Idea:

Other than the normal boycott, we can and will do this on Veteran’s Day Weekend:
 
Let’s unite and call for a National boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend. Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums. Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin. Continue with the weekly boycott of televised games. If they can’t support our military, then we shouldn’t support them!!!! I’m in, are you? re-post if you are!!

Notice Marshall did not make a public statement DEMANDING the Bronco’s sign him.
If Marshall feels so strongly about The Anti-American’s unemployment
status he should demand the Bronco’s sign him. Even offering to quit
so The Kap would have a spot.
I don’t think Marshall will do either. I wonder why?

[tennmountainman]

The issue for owners is once you hire the Kap, a team can never fire him.

[rawcatslyentist]

Hank Jr. got blackballed too! Dint hear a peep outta them then!

[ColdOne]

If he was a great player he would have been hired by now.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Who does Marshall want to lose their job?

Some white guy who is a practicing Christian and votes Republican, no doubt.

Well I say, “If they take a knee, just give’em the FINGER!!”

And, bravo NRA, herein: https://youtu.be/z3j1ZKz7PWQ

“Blackballed”...that's ...racist?

Ohhh, but wait, it was a black guy saying it, so it's ok...whewww

Johnny Manziel is having to suffer the indignity of being on behavioral probation for a year if he wants to sign with the CFL. So being a decent player doesn't excuse much in Canada.

Tim Tebow, who took the Denver Broncos to the AFC West title, couldn't get a contract.

Colin Kaepernick, despite being a better chia-head than Mr Snoid, broke his contract and walked away from SF.  He's got nothin' comin'.


Mister Snoid

[grania]

Now that the situation has snowballed, I wonder if an owner would do that. They have an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars and huge expenses and payroll to meet. Keep in mind, they’re successful businessmen who reached that ownership level.

[faithhopecharity]

K start all this racism and anti- American BS. When he had the opportunity of playing football. Now, any team that hires him will pay for it dearly at the gate and in its broadcast and other revenues. Could quite likely bankrupt a team. He did it to himself. He’s now unemployable

[clintonh8r]

In other words: Make him an affirmative action hire. Got it.

Even the collection of NFL owners has one village idiot!

(Right now it looks like they all have volunteered for the title.)
