I mean, he’s not wrong. It definitely would have an impact on the fan base. The NFL as we know it is going away sooner or later. Why not have it go sooner, in a burst of social-justice glory? Via the IJR:

Exactly...see my post at #28.
I agree. I too think he is finished. I don’t think he will play again.
Btw, 130,000 people have pledged to boycott the NFL if CK isn’t hired by some team.
The NFL audience = Trump voters. That’s why the NFL lost 10-12% of its viewership last year. They know politics is toxic.
I think they’ll risk the 130,000 liberals not watching.
I would like to ask his supporters if there’s a secret nationwide good QB shortage that the rest of us don’t know about. I hate to break the news to his fans that he can be replaced.
Looking at some of last night’s game, both the Panthers and Texans have fairly able depth at QB. And that’s just two teams.
That, minus much of the doucheness, pretty much describes Cam Newton as well.
Would anyone REALLY CARE?
Haven’t we heard enough about Kapernick already?
Hate me if you will but those overpaid “athletes” contribute nothing (directly) to the Gross National Product, they only provide “entertainment”.
I remember Johnny Carson asked Robert Blake that question about what would he do knowing he had a short time to live. He said "There are a lot of people who need killing".
I think it’s a great idea. Maybe a cancelled season would give the owners and managers the balls to cut out this social crap in the games.
It’s a game. You can play. You can quit. You can watch, you can ignore.
Green is the only color that matters...
Like your post!
I see this as a problem of clueless management. The Kaepernik kneel-down was while he was an employee. It was just wrong to not insist on a standard of behavior while players are on the field as part of the team.
Thanks. I was inspired... the wife splashed some rum in my coffee.
You mean like rioting and burning down your own neighborhood?
Ironic how new information comes to light (smoking can kill you) and then it's perfectly clear with the benefit of hindsight.
Football, boxing, and certain other things that involve practitioners knocking each other out will become the domain of a uh, subset of the population...
IF someone is still playing football in 20 years, don't be surprised to see teams importing raw athletes from the third world as cannon fodder. One way to beat the salary cap, one would suppose.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 12.3% of the U.S. population is black, and 12.5% is Hispanic. Gallup Poll results from March 26-28, however, show that slightly less than one in 10 Americans can accurately identify that the population of either blacks or Hispanics in this country falls between 10% and 14%
Well, it is actually 68% black. But that is still a very CLEAR majority and I would think more than enough proof, for most people, to know that Colin’s failure to land a job has ZERO to do with his race!
Charles Barkley is the man.
The NFL survives on taxpayer welfare:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19smEPxvpHQE3pByhDDPbyyA-SMdMjF5Y2uk-g_LkMZs/edit#gid=0
$7 billion in taxpayer funds to build stadiums around the country so these idiots can insult our flag and our country.
In a recent study 110 of 111 former NFL players had CTE.
Need to shut down football for good.
Let these overpaid morons go back to flipping burgers.
This affirmative action crap is patently un-American.
If the guy had an ounce of talent, someone would sign him. I mean It’s not like he ran a dog fighting ring and killed a bunch dogs. Oh, never mind.
I dislike Cam Newton. I was somewhat neutral on him for a while, but when I began seeing more of him the year before last when he went to the Super Bowl, I disliked him more, the more I saw of him.
I generally don’t like hotdogging. I don’t mind a player celebrating, even one a little over the top. But there was something in the way the Cam Newton celebrated that was akin to (even if he didn’t do it because it would be a penalty) getting right into the face of the person you beat, holding the ball in front of their face and taunting them. There was something innately “personal” in it the way he did it.
But when he had his post Super Bowl meltdown, that did it for me. It froze him into the douchebag-baby mode for me.
When Brady lost in 2007 and 2011, he dutifully went in front of the cameras.
When Matt Ryan gave his shell-shocked interview after last year, my respect for him went up 1000 percent. That had to be tough.
But...the losers of big games all have do that, and most handle it in some professional way. Cam Newton should have too, but didn’t. I thought it reflected horribly on him.
Yeah, there's a hole in the lower half of his face that keeps emitting noise of some sort. He has the capability to close the hole but refuses.
Unfortunately, people keep pointing microphones at the hole and broadcast the output.
my hubs said the same thing.... if he could play and make $$ for the team, he’d be on one.
