Colin Kaepernick reportedly filed collusion grievance after Titans snubbed him
CBS Sports ^ | October 16, 2017 | Ryan Wilson

Posted on 10/17/2017 5:21:28 AM PDT by C19fan

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.

Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!

More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.

Or the Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!

So the Ravens actually considered hiring this idiot... and it won’t play well in Coliflower’s collusion suit:


Ray Lewis: Ravens were ready to sign Colin Kaepernick until ‘racist gesture’ by girlfriend

September 6, 2017, 12:15 PM

“An unflattering tweet from the girlfriend of Colin Kaepernick was behind the Ravens’ decision to not sign the controversial free-agent quarterback, Ray Lewis said Tuesday night on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL.”

“The Aug. 2 post by radio host Nessa Diab compared Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and Lewis, a longtime face of the franchise, to characters from “Django Unchained”: Leonardo DiCaprio’s cruel plantation owner and Samuel L. Jackson’s loyal house slave, respectively.”

And thats the problem he has, check out this girlfriend an her mother.

They have successfully co opted him into the BLM movement and thereby also Catch 22 ed many players in the league..

In other words, you are with us brother, or you aint a brother.....

Some info on girlfriend

According to reports, before he began dating Diab, Kaepernick’s social media didn’t show much about him except that he enjoyed playing football and hanging out with friends, but since he began dating Diab, his social media focus has shifted to black nationalist and Black Lives Matter related posts.

“31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur,” says Fox News.

Diab’s social media account has plenty of photos and posts related to her job as a DJ but it also shows her stance as a black rights activist and Islam defender.

He is entitled to whatever he wants. Entitlement mentality.

‘The guy is a moron, he totally destroyed a multi-million dollar career and for what? Because cops killed some heroin dealers?’

Here’s a little secret......Kaepernick’s girlfriend is calling all the shots. She is the one who destroyed his career and is now destroying the entire NFL.

Whaaaa, nobody likes me! What a big lazy baby. There’s a lesson to be learned for the rest of the players. Shut up, play ball, don’t disrespect anyone and you’ll keep cashing those HUGE 1%-er paychecks.

Will she still be his girlfriend when his multi-million dollar NFL contract fails to materialize?

Getting a high-priced lawyer. I think Colon is getting help and money from someone who has the means to further his case. I would not be surprised to find out that Soros is doing the funding.

Besides, how does a person who no longer has a high dollar job and his parents are of modest means, how does he pay for his "collusion" fight that would put most people into the poorhouse?

You wanna kill the NFL? Just go after its reliance on symbolic patriotism.

I for one am not going to fall for the trick.

I think he should be hired by somebody in the NFL. If he can bring down ratings and revenue between 15% and 30% from the outside, he can collapse the whole league by January from the inside.

Oh, what a great idea!!

I would say “not a chance” since all any team would have to do is produce colon’s dismal playing stats, but he’s black, he’s liberal, and it wouldn’t surprise me if SCOTUS ruled otherwise.

Every time I hired someone I envisioned what it would be like to fire them.
If any team is STUPID enough to sign this guy, they lose complete control of the team. No matter how terrible he might play, you won’t be able to bench him.
