Colin Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers in the offseason and has been a free agent ever since -- even though he said last month that he's "ready now" to play in the NFL. Depending on who you ask, Kaepernick's fate isn't about him being blackballed for kneeling during the national anthem last season to protest social injustice, but is simply a function of poor play in recent years.

I guess using the white man’s just us system is okay!
Sounds like he doesn’t agree with allowing others to express their beliefs.
Rich.
Spoiled.
Greedy.
Hypocrite.
I revel in his pain. I wonder if he’d like a do-over?
They won’t hire me either. Who do I sue?
I saw a copy of his grievance on line and he describes himself as “a top tier NFL Quarterback.”
He should go play football in a country he admires, like Cuba or Venezuela.
I don’t follow football, but I can’t recall hearing that the teams rejected great players for any moral reasons. I’m sure there are a lot of decent men playing pro football, but there are a lot of slimeballs, too, and they seem to just get slapped on the wrist.
Oh the outrage and injustice!?
Shoot your mouth off and behave in a manner which is contrary to that required of your job requirements and anyone will find getting work a mighty bit difficult.
I was reading an article yesterday that stated by suing the NFL he has pretty much guaranteed he will never play again. The guy is a moron, he totally destroyed a multi-million dollar career and for what? Because cops killed some heroin dealers? He should have looked at the stats and facts before he decided to diss the flag and national anthem, he would have seen how out of line he is.
Cops make around 15 million arrests per year in the USA. A good portion of those SAVE black lives, impossible to tell how much, but a hell of a lot when you consider how many gangbangers are taken off the street. Out of those millions of arrests not even a handful could be called questionable, and those that are questionable, what happens to the cop? The cop gets fired like that one last week who was fired for arresting the nurse. And if a shooting is questionable what happens? The cop is tried for murder EVEN THOUGH almost all those questionable shootings have happened because the cop feared for his life, almost always because the person refused to listen to the cop. Out of those millions of stops, I can only think of one that seemed to me to be premeditated murder and that was police officer Michael Slager who pulled Walter Scott over for a broken tail light and when Scott ran away, Slager shot him in the back multiple times. Slager pleady GUILTY last May. He’s now waiting to be sentenced where he could be sentenced to 25 years to life, so WHAT the F is Karpernick complaining about?
No leg at all. To establish collusion it pretty much would take proving a conspiracy among 32 owners and front offices, all working with each other, to make certain Kraperdick would not have a job this fall.
There is no legal remedy for each owner concluding on their own, for any reason whatsoever, “no way in hell am I bringing THAT here”. The hearing would be great:
“So Mr. _______, given the hot garbage you had at the QB position going into the season, did you think about bringing in my client for a tryout?”
“Yeah, I thought about it for a few seconds.”
“And what were those thoughts?”
“No way in hell am I letting that whiny, kneeling, attention seeking, fan alienating a$$#o!@ near my team.”
“Did you consult with any other owners to reach that conclusion?”
“No.”
“Did you share these thoughts with any other owner?”
“No.”
Do that 32 times and...
Judge — “Case dismissed.”
Collusion is REALLY hard to prove.
Even if you have a handful of teams where the owner says “my coach and GM wanted me to give him a tryout, but I just didn’t want to have him on my team. He kind of p!$$@d me off with this kneeling BS last year”, that STILL does not prove collusion... That would take a coordinated effort among many (if not all) of the owners. They did not need to consult with each other to decide to stay away from Kraperdick.
I agree with your analysis, but I do not think this is the end game. Kaepernick’s end game is either to shame an NFL owner to hire him, or get some big book or story contracts.
Or even get a settlement for a couple of mil to add to the retirement account. Of course, your evaluation is probably spot on; he is a complete attention whore and an agenda slave to the progs that want to destroy football.
That pitcha there would be a step up from being a metastasizing cancer in the entire NFL, to honest work, for whatshisname.
If so, every job I never got/get was/is due to collusion by past employers and Human Resource managers colluding with future potential employers.
I am an industrial electrician. If I blow $hit up, write lousy programs to run machines, and have a negative impact on my coworkers and the operation as a whole, I think I should find another line of work or I won't be finding any.
I see what you did there.
His hair is his major liability.
Give him a couple of weeks to get up to speed, or even change Green Bay's offense to the 49ers offense that Colin (kinda) knows how to run.
Do every single thing to accommodate and appease and to defer to him, on and off the field.
Let him have his own TV show, like a coach's show, except he gets to scold anyone he wants for racism or whatever.
"Yes Colin, Of course Colin, Whatever you say Colin."
Just totally let him have every D$%^ thing that he wants, and make everyone totally deferential and submissive to him... and then watch it all go down the tubes.
It would ruin the Packers, of course, but it doesn't matter, because Colin and Roger and their ilk have already ruined the entire League.
Oh... the last part. Colin gets to be accountable for it all.
One would suppose that all he could do after that would be move back to SF and run for office.
Colin Kaepernick: “They refuse to hire me just because I am an agitating prick and that is racist.”
Please watch this video of a black police officer going off on the knee-takers. You’ll be glad you did.
