Sports used to be the last true meritocracy.

He will be signed.

He will start.

He will throw 75 touchdowns with a .983 completion percentage as black DB’s start falling down five yards short of the receiver.

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

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.

The military, too, until the Obama years when top promotions became dependent more upon political reliability than on ability.
