Famed film director Spike Lee has joined the Colin Kaepernick debate, suggesting Sunday in an Instagram post that one of his hometown teams -- the New York Jets -- should sign the unemployed quarterback.
"The New York J-E-T-S Need A Quarterback," wrote Lee, who said he spoke with Kaepernick over brunch. "Who Is The J-E-T-S Quarterback? Is My Man Joe Willie Namath Coming Back? Crazy Times We Live In."
Lee used his post to rail against the NFL for excluding Kaepernick, who ignited a firestorm last fall because he refused to stand for the national anthem as a way to protest social and racial issues.
Lee said it "Smells MAD Fishy To Me, Stinks To The High Heavens" that Kaepernick, who opted out of his San Francisco 49ers contract, still doesn't have a job.
Kaepernick will stand for the national anthem during the 2017 season, sources have told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Kaepernick no longer wants his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created, sources said. The amount of national discussion on social inequality -- as well as support from other athletes nationwide, including NFL and NBA players -- affirmed the message he has tried to deliver.

Spike, form your own team and have at it.
It’s a business decision.
He’s not that great a QB, and the fans don’t like him.
He made that bed, and now he gets to lie on it.
Lefties believe they have a divine right to blacklist and blackball conservatives, but God help you if you return the favor.
Why does anyone want to deal with a prima donna?
Fans don’t want him and fans are the biggest driver in anything a team does.
It’s from ESPN, and they wonder why they’re losing 300,000 subscribers a month.
Call it the hate whiteys.
They really can’t understand it.
Wow...
“Kaepernick will stand for the national anthem during the 2017 season”
Will be weird in NFL Europe.
When one is a (copulating rectum) like Kapernick,
nobody wants them on their team. Simple reality...
ESAD Spike. Retard.
What a combination—Spike Lee and Colin Kaepernick
I hate this guy-—he was angry that things were improving in his old Brooklyn neighborhood-———he calls it gentrification when it’s just urban renewal.
Fine, Spike, buy a team and sign him yourself. Good luck with that.
ESPN is PROUD to be a leftwing sinkhole:

Most people who can buy football tickets have jobs and probably hate leftists. Colon Cancer Kapernick destroyed his reputation. He should join the Venezuela Football League.
