How about this reason: He is a fourth rate quarterback in a league where most teams have but three quarterbacks.

He was discriminated because he’s an ass***e...

lol. Good line.

And WHO in their right mind would take on someone who is CLEARLY only a 2nd string at best at this point and will bring such BAD publicity?

Didn't he sue the NFL and was awarded millions?

Why would anyone hire this narcissistic diva and risk alienating fans? Besides, he is overrated.

He doesn’t really want the job. If he got it, he’d flop and be out after first game if he’d even survive practice. He’s making a career out of being a martyr and idiot.

I am sure every NFL team will line up to put a mediocre crybaby trouble maker with a litigation lawyer on speed dial in their locker room /s

A lot of Kaeps own backers are furious at him after that little caper. I don’t keep up with Pro Football, but from what I see, those who run the sport take it very seriously.

There were too many mixed messages being sent, one of them being Kaep rejected an NFL stadium to conduct his trial run, opting instead for a High School field, some 44 miles away.
A lot of the pros had a problem with just that point.
Why would you do that, if not to simply confuse, distract and jerk people around for show? Many feel they sort of wasted their time.

I spell his first name “Colon” for good reason.

The NFL is making enough mistakes that’s costing them. This would doom any team that took him in. They may as well have hired Al Bagdaddy as their center.

The NFL is very stupid to play this game with him.

Kaepernick is not signing anywhere unless he gets playing time, which primarily would come from a starting QB spot. I don’t think there is any team desperate enough to have Kaepernick as their starter, and if they are, heaven help them.

“...but do believe it’s wrong to deny employment to an athlete because of his political views and the way he lawfully expresses them.”

An imbecilic statement. He is free to express whatever political views he so chooses on his own freakin time NOT while on the companies timeclock costing his employer millions.....PERIOD!

The only sports job he’s good for is under the stands selling hot dogs.

Reading Mirrengoff is like reading a run on sentence— when you reach the end, you have no idea what he is saying. His legalize and verbosity is frustrating. Powerline is a great site, but his writing is futile and exacerbating.

Umm because he was an avaerage quarterback that thought what he wanted was more important than his employer.

He’s a prick. The cost of him on your team, hell the cost of him just being in the NFL is way more than any benefit he can provide.

The league is only just now starting to recover from the damage this jagoff created. They are beyond stupid to let him back in

At the time of his benching in 2015 he was dead last in the NFL in QB ratings, and he was clearly not helping his team. Even Niners legend Jerry Rice said that Kap needed to ride the pine. Kaepernick’s defenders fail to do their research to see how badly he was playing when he got benched. He decided to become an activist rather than improve himself as a QB. That’s why he is where he is today, and that’s not in the NFL!

I never managed to feel sorry for Kaepernick, but do believe it’s wrong to deny employment to an athlete because of his political views and the way he lawfully expresses them.

It is 100% appropriate to fire someone if his conduct on the job harms business profits. It's not that Colin Cancer was leading political activities on his own time; he was showing a shocking level of disrespect for our flag, our anthem, our country, out military, and our ancestors - while in uniform to do his job. I will never again watch NFL, and their tolerance for Colin K's conduct is the reason. They're treasonous but not stupid; they won't volunteer for another round of offending their remaining viewers.

Generally, if you blow off the interview, you won’t be called back.
