The One Simple Reason Why Colin Kaepernick Isn’t Playing Football that Everybody Missed

With all of the hot air that's been blasted about former NFL Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, I'm surprised that everybody seems to be missing the most obvious reason why no NFL team has signed him. If you're lucky enough to not have any idea who this nimrod is that I'm referencing, I've written about him a few times previously. So why am I wasting more time on him? Because in this post we get the big reveal, and can finally put an end to this "controversy" and put this idiocy behind us once and for all.

The latest development in this story is that Spike Lee has been organizing some "Stand with Kaepernick" rallies to protest the NFL offices, as if somehow the league commissioner is supposed to force a team to hire a particular player. National Review's Jim Geraghty raised a great point in one of his podcasts along the lines of "If the rally is for Kaep, shouldn't everybody be sitting or kneeling for him instead?" And of course, in typical Leftist hysterics, they laid out a list of demands for the NFL:

1. That the NFL institute a policy to protect players' rights to have freedom of speech, so they can kneel, raise a fist or express opinions on social issues, if they wish.

2. That the NFL establish a review board to, Green says, "examine issues of social injustice." As Tamika Mallory, a social activist and co-organizer of the 2017 Women's March, put it in her speech, "The NFL, just like the NYPD, cannot police itself. Any organization that is only being looked at from within is a failing organization. There must be a unit of people internally and externally that look at racial and cultural sensitivity issues within the NFL."

3. And that the NFL develop some sort of program to "reinvest into the communities in which they serve, where there are high rates of unemployment, high rates of mass incarceration. To re-invest those funds into the community," Green says."

To respond to each of these demands:

1. That freedom exists - it's called the 1st Amendment. More on this in a bit.

2. They expect the NFL to create jobs for otherwise unemployable parasites with worthless degrees in grievance studies.

3. "Re-invest" money into the kinds of organizations of what my buddy The Destroyer of Colons dubbed "The Nonprofit/NGO Industrial Complex", which he defines as "Jobs programs for Lefties when there's not a Democrat in office"

Good luck with all of that. And of course, the race hustlers in the NAACP are calling for a boycott of the NFL until some team decides to take on the headache that is Kaepernick. Personally, I would have loved to have gone to one of these protests with a camera and survey the protesters about who they think will win this year's Super Bowl - the Cavaliers or the Cubs.

As if this isn't irritating enough, the Smithsonian is planning on adding a Kaep exhibit in the African-American History museum for his work in bringing attention to the fine work that Black Lives Matter is doing. In other words, our tax dollars are being spent to glorify domestic terrorists that destroy predominantly black neighborhoods. But Conservatives are the racists.

Back on topic, NFL ratings were down last season. Depending on who you ask it was due to being an election year, or it was tied to the National Anthem protests. The reality is it's probably a little bit of both. But it's not just TV ratings that are hurting. The secondary market of sports bars is taking a hit as well.

And Kaepernick just isn't good enough to be worth the headaches.

Good observations. Between yours and mine we have the real reason he’s unsigned.

Unlikely. The season is more than half over. If he turned down NFL contracts which compared to any CFL contract would be a King’s ransom he ain’t gonna be heading north.
