He is unlikely to see the field this season because they will have to pay him in full next year should he get injured. Getting paid a lot now just sitting on the bench. Distraction city.

If I wanted dialogue I’d watch Wall Street Week instead of the NFL.

Kaepernick doesn’t bother me. He’s just a has-been and a fool. My beef is with Goodell and the NFL for not coming down on the right side on this issue. Goodell has all but endorsed Kaepernick by allowing him and his homies to turn what should be a pleasant diversion into an annoyance. I can see BLM trashing whitey when I watch the news; I don’t need it when I watch a football game.

They don’t want a dialogue, they want to lecture us.

All this is 100% Jed York’s fault.

Joke: “I left two ‘niner tickets on my front seat. When I returned I saw my car window smashed. There were now four tickets.

The democrat/communist media/entertainment/propaganda complex violated an unwritten rule of American life they should have known existed, but in their partisan hubris they thought they could ignore: DO NOT MIX SPORTS WITH POLITICS. Sports was the one thing that united Americans of different political stripes. I have liberal friends who, like me, are Cub fans. We argue politics but love the Cubs. Sports are our escape from all the political divisiveness.

They crossed the line. People are pissed. They have a product that is 0% necessity and 100% luxury. You would think they would value its image above all else, but no. Americans are turning their backs on it. And my guess is that they will learn nothing from this, and in fact will double down on it.

Not a football fan, don’t even watch TV (for probably 10 years now).

But, why is this an issue? He has an employer, and he has a “supervisor”, and he has “work time” and “non-work time”. Said Anthem standown occurs on “work time”, where he should be obligated to do whatever the team and league want. If he did a “stand-down” when he was supposed to be running footballs down the field, he’d be out on the street in 5 minutes flat.

The NFL’s refusal to allow the Cowboys to salute the slain Dallas police officers is as least as egregious as allowing the idiot 49er to warm the bench.

“Bringing dialogue”??? Is that what they’re calling killing ratings these days?

“Dialog”? Really? All I see and hear are leftists shouting down anyone who tries to discuss anything with them in a rational manner.

Yeah, he’s okay to do that just as the Hands Up Don’t Shoot T’s that were worn. But don’t you dare put a small decal on your helmet honoring those five cops that were shot. No No No otherwise we’ll fine you.

The only dialogue I want to hear in the NFL are “OMAHA” and Norman and Beckham trash talking.

Haven't watched an NFL game in at least 15 years. It began with the obnoxious show boating and was exacerbated by ridiculous SB half time shows.

Once an avid fan, I don't miss it a bit. As I grew used to no NFL I dropped NBA with the same pleasant result.

Professional sports have long since jumped the shark. Most of them act like spoiled children and are treated like “heroes”. Heroes for what — playing a kids game? Really?

Also, the games haven’t been very good.
