Colin Kapernick not yet re-hired? Is the entire NFL racist?

Skip Bayless and 100,000 Change.com signers are calling for a boycott of games this NFL season if Colin Kaepernick isn't signed. Director Spike Lee is planning a pro-Colin rally in front of NFL headquarters on August 24.

Kapernick, the seven-year veteran quarterback, caused controversy last year by remaining seated or kneeling during the National Anthem, declaring, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

He choose to opt out of his contract with San Francisco in March and has remained unemployed since.

Hmmm. Let's see. I have a mediocre candidate for a QB position that I am fairly certain will bring negative attention to my team. Uh, I think I'll pass. So to speak. Of course we all know what's really going on. DJT and the kkk and neo-nazis have put the word out not to hire him. Right?

No. Look at his lifetime stats. He just isn’t a very good QB.

Skip and his 100,000 need to buy their own team and hire him.

He’s not good enough to justify the baggage he brings to the team. Simple as that.

I think mainly it’s now little more than clickbaiting for the media. And it is so passive/aggressive especially for the white cuck media I’m seeing it as a classic white liberal power play over blacks as their mommy protectors.

The NFL is selling a product and this Chump has gone out of his way to poison it.

Almost certainly there are behavior clauses in all Player contracts and he should have been released before the kick off of his first episode of politicizing the product.

That is what would happen at my work if I deliberately and publicly violated their standards.

Pro football is all about money and nothing else. Last season was the worst for the NFL in years in part due to the antics of this guy. Why would anyone hire him or anyone else who’s goi g to hurt their bottom line?

I read somewhere this week that CK was offered a contract by some team and he turned it down so that he could continue with this protest gig that he's got going.

Clown's nowhere near a good enough football player to be turning down offers.

Looks to me like he's more interested in pushing his muzzie girlfriends hate buttons than he is playing football.

Race has nothing to do with it. Kapernick showed disdain for our country and now he is shunned.

The wrong question was asked.

the correct question is:

Is extreme political correctness by SJW’s racism?

The correct answer is “yes, of course”

Shades of Tim Tebow and the claims that he wasn't signed because the NFL is anti-Christian. Or Michael Sams claim that he wasn't signed again because the NFL is anti-gay.

If a player can help a team then he's hired. If he can't then he isn't.
