ABC, The Hill Report Kaepernick Grievance against NFL Cites Trump as 'Organizing Force' in Collusion
Newsbusters ^ | October 15, 2017 | Jay Maxson

Kaepernick’s complaint says Trump and Vice President Mike Pence “engaged in various public relations stunts designed to retaliate against Mr. Kaepernick and other players that have joined in Kaepernick’s peaceful protest.” The complaint calls Trump “an organizing force in the collusion among team owners in their conduct towards” Kaepernick, and claims NFL owners have described Trump’s administration as “causing paradigm shifts in their views toward NFL players.”

As a shareholder I would vote out Mark Murphy if he hires Krappernick.

So how long until delusional Krappydork adds all (former) NFL fans for 1) not watching games, 2) not attending games, 3) not buying old gear with his name/number, 4) not calling for his mandatory pickup to a maximum contract by the team of his choice, 5) not joining his ill-conceived flag/SSB “protest”, 6) not recognizing the genius of his Mohammedan (Pigs Be Upon Him) girlfriend, 7) (fill in the next senseless reason here).

“Collusion”. Colon never heard of that word until Mueller came along.

LOL, really?

Really, Really?

If Trump was the “organizing force”, what about the rest of the time the POS was unable to find a job? Did he just plain suck then?

Oh, yeah...that’s right. He did.

I though he was cut from his team- but I just read the other day that he OPTED OUT...

Is that true?

Is it normal for a player (let alone a starting QB) to ‘opt-out’ of a contract without already being eyed for a new team?

He made his bed... he can sleep in it.

I can’t imagine that there was NO ONE around him telling him to knock it off.

I also just read that the first time he did this he was just too lazy to get up off the bench and sat there through the anthem- and they suspected that he made up the ‘protest’ as an excuse.

I see him as the type that never can be told anything. He’s right in his mind, not matter what you tell him.

I’ve seen and heard the same type of behavior when trying to debate some black liberals on TV and on Hannity... no matter what the counter argument offered to them they just hold to their point- even if it was just proved to be wrong, and argue even more and more convoluted stupidity, until you just have to give up because they are just not hearing anything.

Well, they have Madison, so Kapercrap would fit in perfectly there, but don't know about the rest of the state.

I am guessing most Packer fans are knowledgeable enough to say:

"DO NOT WANT!"

Trump should suggest a compromise and offer Kap the starting QB job on the New Jersey Generals.

I think he is signing a book deal with Hillary’s publisher titled “Me too, What Happened”.

He’ll be put on a team of course.
He will be the LEFT Front of 4 NFL refugees hired to haul a very heavy wagon. Those “kneelers” are just the right size and have the stamina to haul freight a good way between “time-outs”>

Everyone but us and Trump are allowed their 1st Amendment 15 minutes of fame.

Who is the "organizing force" in the protests? What about our grievance against the protests?

Yeah, we are just around the corner from the boos from fans resulting in a suit against the Owners as tolerating a hostile workplace environment. Could the NFL, the Player's Union, and the Owners have messed this up any worse? Are they being fed polls from the same people who said Hillary would win in a cakewalk? So sad...

This egomaniac can't accept two things:

1. Everyone hates him.

2. He sucks as a QB.

Tell this greedy crybaby that he HAD a contract that HE DECLINED to seek better pay.

His minimum salary demands were then know by the rest of the NFL.

All prospective employers determined that price, along with the political baggage was too high.

THAT is a valid business decision!

When the Seahawks brought him in for a workout it was clear to them that he wanted a starting job and not to be Wilson’s backup. They wished him the best and said no thank you.

I think that was the same offer that the Ravens were talking about. In the Ravens case...the GF made some weird social media comment, and that freaked them out. Their offer was pulled back.

The thing is...for a back-up quarterback, at best, you might get in the $1.5 million range. After he pays taxes, his agent...he’s probably only got half of that money left. He had zero thought about this problem when he started the kneeling business, and no plan for a second career in the real world.

"Who cares."

The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.

The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.

Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

Percy Bysshe Shelley

This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!

ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!

They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.

This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.

All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.

The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.

We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.

They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"

The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.

The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".

We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.

Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.

We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
