Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday for a potential role with the 49ers' NFC West foe. But that isn't stopping a New York-based organization from putting on a demonstration on May 24 at 5 p.m. EDT in front of the National Football headquarters in Manhattan in a show of solidarity with the quarterback.

In addition to his national anthem protest, Kaepernick has been outspoken on social issues to the press over the last year, which some say has led to his difficulty in being signed by an NFL team after he opted out of his contract with the 49ers in March.

Could be related to the 49'ers 2 and 14 season but what do I know.

Why would the Seahags pick him up? They have SuperBowl ambitions...ambitions that aren't entirely unrealistic.One would expect the Vikings,Bears or Jets to sign him.

[Steely Tom]

Something for ESPN to sink both remaining teeth into.

[Obadiah]

A New York based organization, huh? And just what New York based organization, and who is funding this organization and this national protest?

[DoughtyOne]

I think he has the right career choice right now.

He’s out. Works for me.

[longsufferingjetsfan]

We may laugh at this now. But this is just the first step in trying to bully the league so some team signs him. They will be filing lawsuits next saying they have proof the league is blackballing or colluding in keeping him out.

We need counterprotests.

“Why would the Seahags pick him up? “

Because thier coach is a left wing moron.

[stubernx98]

“Why would the Seahags pick him up?” He is at the head office now. The Seahawks BU quarterback is in trouble with the Police. Fans will not be happy.

[A message]

I doubt that 3.2 QBR on 1 for 5 passing for 4 yards when the weather got a little cold in Chicago has anything to do with it either.

[Mears]

Some people have waaaaay too much time on their hands-——(and the all voted for Hillary).

[MtnClimber]

Send him to cuba where he can worship raul castro and get everything for free.

[nickedknack]

The “Kick My A$$” tour, sponsored by George Soros’ grandson, Pajama Boy.

[DesertRhino]

Well, a 2 and 14 record, you really do have to stand up and take notice of that.

[Obadiah]

Yeah, these people must have a lot of disposable time on their hands if they can go out and protest on behalf of getting a job for some multi-millionaire.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I’ll call Tim Tebow.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

He should look for work in Canada. His skill set might actually play up there.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Vikings couldn’t afford to sign him.

The seats would be empty.

[Maudeen]

Who is still watching football anyway? It has turned into a royal circus.

[TexasCruzin]

Krapperneck can go straight to hell and not pass go.

[DoughtyOne]

I was thinking, Aww I'll donate to the FReep-a-thon a little later,
and then I woke up here!
