It appears Colin Kaepernick brought NFL to its knees

Did Colin Kaepernick bring the NFL to its knees?

That’s at least a strong possibility, since the NFL agreed to settle with the former 49ers quarterback and ex-San Francisco safety Eric Reid in their collusion lawsuit.

The big question now: Will Kaepernick, a dedicated social activist and philanthropist (he has donated at least $1 million to a variety of social-justice causes), simply continue his activism, or will he attempt an NFL comeback? And if he wants to come back, will he get a chance to do so?

I can only hope that some team hires him and on the first offensive play he's centered the ball and his 10 team mates stand aside allowing a 11 man sack.

Is this another “gay” thing from San Fiasco?

[rhombus10]

If he gets enough loot he can buy a seat in Congress. What else can he do? He can’t play football.

[humblegunner]

Irrelevant!

What about Joosy Smollett and JUSTICE!

on the first offensive play he's centered the ball

Joosy offensive too and ball...

his 10 team mates stand aside allowing a 11 man sack.

What about Joosy and he man sack?

This racist.

[yldstrk]

the only thing Colin is dedicated to is Colin.

[Izzy Dunne]

All the defense has to do is to sing “Oh, say, can you see?” as the ball is snapped.

He’ll take a knee right away...

[DIRTYSECRET]

According to John Clayton the settlement was between $50-80 million. I’m sure he’s laughing all the way to the bank.

[himno hero]

so? employers no longer have rights?

[discostu]

No. They threw what for them is a negligible amount of cash at him. He’ll never play in the NFL again. And they kept how teams run out of the publicly available court record. And 10 years from now Colin will appear in People’s “where are they now” section. With a possibly a mention 40 years from now when he dies.

[Gay State Conservative]

I have it on good authority that his long lost uncle,a Nigerian oil billionaire.has recently died and left him USD 350 million. All he needs to do to collect is forward his back account number to a PO Box in Logos,Nigeria.

[Clutch Martin]

Aw, let him play. At this late stage in his non-career he’s probably not going to be very good at all. And then maybe he will get a clue...

But, from a business perspective what NFL team would be in their right mind to hire a prospective quarterback at this late stage in that quarterbacks non-career only to find out he’s going to suck, and that particular NFL team would have spent millions of dollars when they could have just taken it down to the men’s room and flush it down the collective of toilets, and not gone through all the BS in the first place.

[yesthatjallen]

The NFL opened to door to endless lawsuits.

Anyone can claim they weren't picked up for any reason and sue

Watch for the new lawyer industry to fire up.

[dfwgator]

Shouldn’t he play in the AAF first, to show what he’s still got?

[Baynative]

I’m almost sorry that I haven’t been an NFL fan in 25 years because I’d like to take action on this issue and swear to walk away.

[waterhill]

It is sliding that way....

[Rashputin]

Ok, the representatives of the rough, tough as nails, NFL bent over. What I wanna know, is did Kaepernick use KY jelly?

[Kid Shelleen]

How is it that billionaire limousine liberal NFL owners like Jeff Laurie and Shad Khan colluded against Kaepernick? Were they deposed?

[the_daug]

doesn’t matter to me and have not watched nor read any pro sport crapola for two years,

[himno hero]

....so he plays for the AOC team, guaranteeing success for a that touch him..

Did you see how Carl Marx’s grave was defaced last week?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I can already see the new bambulance chaser ad. “If you were denied a quarterback position by the MFL, you might be entitled to a SUBSTANTIAL cash award ...”
