The fury surrounding the employment status of Colin Kaepernick has been taken to a new level, reaching full-blown froth on Wednesday night in the form of a rally at NFL headquarters attended by thousands to protest Kaepernick being unsigned by a team.

According to Tim Rohan of TheMMQB.com, the group of activists who organized the rally -- The People's Consortium for Human and Civil Rights, led by president Reverend Stephen Green -- had three demands of the NFL.

1. That the NFL institute a policy to protect players' rights to have freedom of speech, so they can kneel, raise a fist or express opinions on social issues, if they wish.

2. That the NFL establish a review board to, Green says, "examine issues of social injustice." As Tamika Mallory, a social activist and co-organizer of the 2017 Women's March, put it in her speech, "The NFL, just like the NYPD, cannot police itself. Any organization that is only being looked at from within is a failing organization. There must be a unit of people internally and externally that look at racial and cultural sensitivity issues within the NFL."

3. And that the NFL develop some sort of program to "reinvest into the communities in which they serve, where there are high rates of unemployment, high rates of mass incarceration. To re-invest those funds into the community," Green says.

Typically speaking, the noise surrounding an issue like this dies out once the games start being played. But this is not a typical situation: Kap doesn't have a job, which means with each week that passes and each horrific quarterback performance that we watch unfold, the noise could get louder.

The ultimate in this season's haute couture ... a chic NAACP official protest shirt ... goes perfectly with your pussy hat ... makes the perfect libtard statement ... and helps that poor out of work jock land a much-needed job.

Who knew Saranwrap was still alive.

The washed up has been Sarandon has nothing else to do, so why not???

[circlecity]

They are just showing every NFL owner what will be surrounding their team offices if they should happen to sign CK and every have to cut him.

Not only is the Hollywood Left the same indulgent, parochial, and sanctimonious people as the denizens of the fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy, but their mental stability is highly questionable, too.

Damnit, Janet.

[RooRoobird20]

Dried up Old Saggy Boobs, trying to ensure she gets ANY kind of future acting jobs.

[pepsionice]

It’s amazing over the hyped up nature of a guy who had a 3-star college career...managed to have one single great 5-star NFL season, and is washed up at the age of 29.

[Paladin2]

CK for POTUS!

[pas]

Google employee writes a note and gets fired. That is good. Bad quarterback who hates america does not get hired and that is bad.

[Envisioning]

Reap it NFL! LOL...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If Demands 2 and 3 result in NFL green flowing to Revrun Green, then I think he’ll back off on Demand 1.

[dennisw]

Doxx and fire white boys but hire this second stringer for sure! I await the outcome to see if NFL owners (aka slave masters) cave. My take is they will not but might shuffle him onto a one year no-show contract then GOODBYE.

People like this who behave in such trashy disgusting or offensive ways should not be featured by the mass media Enemy Within. The media should focus instead on reporting real news about significant events and subjects of genuine consequence to our future. Not about some idiot former ball player and his Silly Sally fellow traveler groupies.

Yep.

[Rapscallion]

Sarandon has been on my boycott list for years. Nothing new.

[CodeToad]

Ugly liberals wearing their vaginas on their heads because they are desperate for someone, anyone, to look at their real ones.

[tumblindice]

Let's do the time warp again.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! I guess being out there hating America and “protesting” about losing the election beats sitting at home eating pancakes and getting fat because President Trump won the election.

[Batman11]

“They are just showing every NFL owner what will be surrounding their team offices if they should happen to sign CK and ever have to cut him.”

Exactly. The only reason I miss seeing him play, (I don’t) is the chance to root for him to get the crap knocked out of him.
