Marshall: NFL teams can show support by hiring Kaepernick
ABC News ^ | September 28, 2017 | Arnie Stapleton, Associated Press pro football writer

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall says he appreciates NFL teams supporting the rights of their players to protest during the national anthem. He also suggests they show it by giving Colin Kaepernick a job .

"The dude, he's in shape, he's yoked, actually," said Marshall, who saw his ex-college teammate on a TMZ video recently. "He's so strong. He's ready to go. He told me he's been working out when I last talked to him. He said he's just waiting for a call. That's the next step."

Marshall is among many players who believe Kaepernick is being blackballed by NFL teams over the movement he started last year when he declined to stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the 2016 preseason to bring attention to racial inequality in America....

Kapperdick is poison as a player, no team will ever sign him. On the other hand, I betting there’s a commissioner’s job opening up real soon...he’d be perfect!

Maybe Brandon Marshall should step up and give him his slot?

...Didn’t think so.

You would figure one bleeding-heart owner who hire him even to be the #3 or #4 QB on the team, just to make a statement.

The NFL has a hard 53 person active roster limit. Before any team could sign him, they would have to first get rid of someone currently on the team. Possibly Brandon Marshall or some other concerned active player, in the spirit of solidarity, could solve that problem by voluntarily giving up their slot to make room for him.

I wouldn’t hire that SOB to catch dogs. (Course being NFL, he would probably start a dog fighting ring).

Yeah, affirmative action in the NFL. And you said what about Tebow? KMA Marshall. I’m gone.

I was a Bronco fan. He’s the reason we turned the off last year. He is a big part of the reason they are still off.

A team that hires him is doomed.
Once this talentless, one-read idiot gets on a team, that team will be bombarded HOURLY by blue-haired, nose-ringed SJW’s DEMANDING he never be benched or cut.
