“NFL world reacts as Colin Kaepernick makes major move.” But, if one reads the actual story, one would see that there was no “major” anything behind the headline.

His letter to the NY Jets asking for a practice squad role. Shouda been told 7-11 is hiring.

In 2017, a media reference to the Ravens’s “pursuit” of Kaepernick was intended to prove that Kaepernick could still play and was being blackballed for his protests. Yet the Ravens did not sign him. “Nothing” was once again the order of the day. But a casual observer would conclude from the headline that Kaepernick was in demand and that a signing was imminent. By the time it became clear that no signing would occur, the headline would be forgotten and the media’s credibility would remain intact (so they believed).

The media person should have been told “we don’t tell you how to fill the slurpee cup at 7-11 so we’ll do it our way”. The headline would NOThane been forgotten.
