He can put his money where his mouth is and give the job to him

I don’t think Kaepernick wants a spot on an NFL team anymore. Better to be the angry black QB denied a role because of his race than get put into a starting role and flop spectacularly.

Apologize for what? He’s still an America hating, Che Guevera supporting commie who leads the charge disrespecting our flag and national anthem.

Why doesn’t Goodell just step aside and let Kapernick take over as NFL commissioner? That might appease the mob...

NOTHING appeases the mob. NOTHING!

Kaepernick is a fourth rate quarterback. No team carries four quarterbacks. No team has to worry about losing three quarterbacks in a game because of all the rules protecting quarterbacks. Kaepernick does not have the abilities required to compete for an NFL quarterback position.

For what job might Kaepernick be qualified? Can he yell, “Popcorn! Get your popcorn here!” But I would hate to see him replace an existing vendor.

I remember the pig socks. We are having the funeral for a county sheriff murdered while on duty. The NFL can go to hell.

I cannot help remembering the guy who was “Legally blind’ who sued UPS because they ‘wouldn’t hire him as a driver’.

Judge threw it out of court.

Considering the thugs who are allowed to work in the NFL, does anybody think that Kaepernick would be unemployed if he were able to help a team win more games? Several years ago I remember that he refused offers from teams because he was offered backup roles or he wouldn’t agree to the pay offered. My bet is that he is worth more to Nike as an unemployed Marxist than as a backup in the NFL. I’m pretty sure he has made more money as a Marxist mascot for Nike than he would have made on an NFL roster.

Take the politics out of the discussion, Kaepernick is a mediocre athlete. His numbers do not back up his claim that the NFL is discriminating against him. On a good pro team Kaepernick would be fortunate to be a bench warmer.

Kaepernick has no problem with the fact that Nike operates sweatshops where the workers are virtually slave laborers.

The L.A. Times has become very anti Jew and and anti Israel.
That may have something to do with their slump in distribution.

What’s this “GIVE HIM a job” stuff? Whatever happened to QUALIFYING FOR a job? What happens when we start GIVING jobs to everybody whether they’re capable of doing them or not? And on THAT subject, Kaepernick LOST his previous job when he failed to do it well enough. How has he improved his skills in the meantime? And his attitude?

I always assumed that the NFL drafted, traded and hired based on talent.

I guess not.
