You need to ask yourself why no NFL team would touch him with a 10' pole.

Let me think of all the "liberal" NFL teams. How about Seattle Seahawks? I was going to say S.F. 49ers but Colin Kaepernick used to play there so he had already wore out his welcome with that team.

How about Seattle Seahawks?
Pete Carroll did an interview several months ago where he expressed regret for not hiring Kapernick.
Part of the cringeworthy podcast:
“I think that there was a moment in time that a young man captured. He took a stand on something — figuratively, he took a knee — but he stood up for something he believed in,” replied the 68-year-old Carroll, who has been coaching the Seahawks since 2010. “And what an extraordinary moment it was that he was willing to take. I don’t know that he had any idea what the impact would be, as it turned out, but what a symbol of courage.” “We’re not protecting our people,” Carroll added. “We’re not looking after one another. We’re not making the right choices. We’re not following the right process to bring people to justice when actions are taken. So I think it was a big sacrifice in the sense that a young man makes, but those are the courageous moments that some guys take."
The Seachickens did not hire the whiner, though.
