Report: NFL Interest In Bringing Kaepernick Back Was ‘Fake’
LaCorte News ^ | 9/8/2020 | Damjan Tutarkov

Former San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick will remain a free agent for the fourth straight season after no team showed interest in signing the former quarterback-turned social justice warrior ahead of the 2020 season, slated to begin this weekend.

The story: Kaepernick became a free agent following the 2016/17 season after his controversial decision to kneel for the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality against black Americans.

But as the Black Lives Matter movement spread across America following the death of George Floyd, professional sports organizations, including the NFL, have allowed players to kneel during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner and display political messages and the names of victims of racism and police violence on their helmets and jerseys.

In the meantime, the NFL has also admitted it was wrong to see the kneeling as controversial, prompting speculation that Kaepernick could be signed before the opening of the season.

His last year he had around a 20% completion rate. Not NFL quality.

In NFL circles it’s no secret that CK simply doesn’t want to play football anymore. If an NFL team came out and publicly offered to sign him tomorrow, he’d come up with a bunch of lame excuses or ludicrous demands just so he wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of showing up.

He was not a top tier QB to begin with and even a top tier player who has not trained or played in 4 years is not coming back to NFL caliber. Add to that the simple fact that he is also 4 years older.

And none of the above takes into account he is an ignorant, flaming ahole.

Colin Kancer, loser, hasn’t figured it out yet. He wasn’t good enough in his last (2-14 season), and he’s lost more of what little he had each year. Good riddance to a worthless whiner.

If any team owner believed that signing Kaepernick would cause a net increase the team’s number of viewers he would be signed in an instant. Professional sports are no different from any other entertainment industry. They are learning that when they stop entertaining they stop making money.

John Elway said the Broncos made Kaepernick an offer and he turned it down.

Is it true that this punk recently got some kind of multi million dollar payout from some court or from the NFL?

It was probably an offer that was fitting for a player whose most recent NFL production was a 2 and 14 win/loss record.
