Al Sharpton to the NFL: 'Give Colin Kaepernick a job back'

Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy at George Floyd's funeral in Houston on Tuesday, and during it asked the NFL to "give Colin Kaepernick a job back."

“The head of the NFL said, ‘Yeah, maybe we was wrong. Football players, maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest,'” he said. “Well, don’t apologize. Give Colin Kaepernick a job back. Don’t come with some empty apology. Take a man’s livelihood. Strip a man down of his talents. And four years later, when the whole world is marching, all of a sudden you go and do a FaceTime, talk about you sorry. Minimizing the value of our lives."

“You sorry? Then repay the damage you did to the career you stood down, ’cause when Colin took a knee, he took it for the families in this building,” Sharpton added. “And we don’t want an apology. We want him repaired.”

One does not possess the right to protest on the clock.

The NFL will need to hire people to scrub down the stadiums after every game.

Well I see Al is back doing what he does best, extorting money from private business on the threat of boycott.

Only time I’ve ever agreed with Sharpton. Give Colon a job. NFL will die more quickly.

What a dunce. The league doesn’t hire players, individual teams do.

I hope he makes the NFL grovel even more. I, along with a few people I know, are done with the NFL.

It’s unbelievable that even if you support someone’s cause, you are required to approve of their method of protest. If you don’t, you are part of the problem.

I fully support Kap being the QB of any team he chooses! Ruth Bader Ginsburg too.

I also think Helen Keller would make an excellent place kicker.

Charles Manson for free safety.

Jabba the hut as offensive tackle.

Diversity!!!!

I am surprised that a-hole Seattle coach hasn’t done it yet.
That guy is such a schmuck.

See how liberals lie? They are now saying Kapernick lost his job because he was denied his right to protest.

Nobody was stopping Kapernick from protesting, ON HIS OWN TIME!

When you protest while in uniform, at work, during the NATIONAL Anthem then THAT becomes the problem. He lost his job because of insubordination, period. No other team or company wants someone like that (except for Nike who are exploiting it to the hilt).
