“First, some teams genuinely believe that he can’t play. They think he’s shot. I’d put that number around 20 percent.
“Second, some teams fear the backlash from fans after getting him. They think there might be protests or (President) Trump will tweet about the team. I’d say that number is around 10 percent. Then there’s another 10 percent that has a mix of those feelings.
“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. They think showing no interest is a form of punishment. I think some teams also want to use Kaepernick as a cautionary tale to stop other players in the future from doing what he did.”

Aw that’s a shame.
Some fans genuinely hate him. And I don’t doubt there are some football players that genuinely hate him.
Some hate him. Just his guts.
NJ might be full of liberals, but the football stadium isn’t. And a lot of the fans come from outer boroughs in NY.
The Jets know better than to EVEN THINK IT.
Cause it’s not physically possible that me or ANYONE I know would watch them again.
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.
I hate him like a rat with rabies!!
I have a question, please.
Would he be able to retire? At what point does an NFL player retire and draw their pension?
The reason I ask is because, I hope his girlfriend spent all his money and in 5 years I would love to see this POS broke living amongst the ghetto dwellers that he embraces.
Browns are trying hard to get rid of their fans (like me). If they took this arsehole then I’d be gone. I almost wish they would take him...give me a good reason to stop being a fan of the worst team in the NFL.
He chose very, very poorly.
You’re talking to a Jet fan. Worst team in football is a tie.
As a lifelong NFL fan i will state, for the record, this assh*le is poison. Won’t even consider watching any games while this dink is in the league
I was going to say that they both fight for worst team every year, but this year Cleveland won being the worst.
He’s never been in the ghetto. He was adopted and raised by white parents in Wisconsin. Worst case scenario: he’s back in Wisconsin managing a cinnebun
Including Team Bigbob.
I think that 5 years is the minimum playing time whereby a player can collect retirement but.....it would be minimal and not payable until the age of 65.
He did this to himself.
5 or so years ago, the rivalry between two young guns - Kaepernick and Russell Wilson - was such great fun. Both played with such passion.
Then Kaepernick started to blow up with some off season issues and quarrels with his team and coach (who wouldn't have problems with Jim Harbaugh, in all fairness?).
Sad
Jaguars. The home team. worst of the worst.
