Editorial: It's not enough to apologize to Colin Kaepernick. The NFL needs to give him a job
Los Angeles Times ^ | June 16, 2020 | The Times Editorial Board

Posted on 06/17/2020 7:13:42 AM PDT by artichokegrower

National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell may have just been trying to score PR points with players and the public this month when he tweeted out a statement condemning systemic racism, acknowledging that there would be no NFL without Black players and encouraging players to "speak out and peacefully protest."

Why doesn’t Goodell just step aside and let Kapernick take over as NFL commissioner?

That might appease the mob and the guilt ridden owners as well.

Right-if you have talent... you don’t need to beg for the job.

The ‘employer’ will recruit you … with a very attractive and competitive offer...because some OTHER employer will want to hire you too!

This guy is a has been-that never WAS

I notice it’s they give - not him earn.

How bout listing all of his “famous quotes” and pics of him, you know, the Cuba stuff, et al?

He’s far more than just a kneeler

Maybe one day they will allow whites to play. Maybe form their own league. Separate but equal. Isn't that what they are after?

More seriously, I could care less if Kaepernick plays or not. I'm never watching the NFL again. I'm never buying one of their authorized products. I hope every person that loves America does the same.

Krapernick would be a good fit for the Chargers. He and Spanos deserve each other.

OK, let's be real here -- Crappydick was good enough to have been signed. he might have even won the starting job somewhere.

But, him not being signed had nothing to do with his ability or his PROTEST STANCE -- COLON DID NOT WANT TO BE SIGNED!!! HE MADE SURE HE WASN'T SIGNED!!!! He demanded the TOP SALARY of all QB's and required that he be Guaranteed the starting QB job.

NFL GM's rightfully told him to go pound sand.

Or, to really show how supportive Goodell is he should resign and appoint kapernut as comish.

Why doesn’t the LA Times give him a job? Pay him the salary he wants, too.

It’s way too late for that. I think they should give Kaepernick an entire NFL team. The owners should all draw straws. Short straw loses his team to Kaepernick.

Oh, and one more thing. They should also make Kaepernick the NFL Commissioner. That Goodell guy just isn’t woke enough.

If Gooddell wants him, let him hire Krapernick as a VP and pay him a QB salary, that makes about as much sense.

Everyone wants to make a stand and symbolic gesture against “racism” now. LOL

Really obvious shallow race baiting, where now everyone jumps on the band wagon.

We make more important decisions EVERY DAY other than what we blog. Do what we do:

DO NOT BUY NIKE

DO NOT BUY GILLETTE

DO NOT MAKE NFL NASCAR OR ANY “KNEELING” SPORT A PART OF YOUR LIFE

...And tell your FRiends to do the same.

Some excellent dirt track racing out there...

Leave the corporate sissies to themselves.
