Kaepernick appeared to be angered by the NFL pushing its social justice initiatives while his former teammate Eric Reid remained a free agent to start the season.

Hey Colon Colin, No one is guaranteed a job. And every person is replaceable, whatever the profession. Welcome to the world of grownups.

You can’t appease the Left. They are never satisfied.

kaepernick’s record was 1-10 in his last season, 2-6 in his second to last season. Not hiring him is based on his ability, not his politics.

Hopefully very soon they will have to close the stadiums due to lack of interest. Who is going to spend one more minute watching these freak show games.

Why do we continue to abide such fools? Mr. K, please sit down, shut up, and grow up. It’s past the time you became a man and not a sniveling grown child.
