“Kaepernick is having a mental meltdown. He is washed up and is about to be cut, which leaves him nothing in a league without guaranteed contracts. He is misdirecting his anger and will tell himself he is being cut because of his protest, which is not true. I would be so embarrassed to be his parent and watch him do this.”
I’m wondering if this wasn’t done on purpose because if the 49’ers cut Kaepernick, now he can scream racism. Just a thought.
I suspect if you talked to him he would be very earnest about it all. I doubt he is consciously aware of why he is doing this. It would probably take a lot of therapy before he would admit to himself why he's doing what he's doing.
I'm just really, really glad the Broncos were not able to sign him in the offseason.
