Professional NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick can't find a team to call home in the National Football League, but that didn't stop the NFL Player's Association from celebrating his charity work this week.

The official player's union of the NFL named Kap as the organization's Week 1 "Community MVP" on Friday. He received the honor "for his commitment to empowering underserved communities through donations and grassroots outreach," the NFLPA announcement notes.

Maybe they’d have more luck if they named it the GFL.

It certainly isn’t the “national football league” any longer.

Global Football League

This idea will go as flat as their idiotic behavior has.

Maybe the PCFL would fit better.

Leftist Political Correctness seems to have taken over.

In 1983 he bought the New Jersey Generals for $9 million and made them into a good team in 2 years, but the USFL failed as a league (couldn't compete with the NFL) so that whole thing sputtered out.

Herschel Walker is a Trump supporter.

BTW nice Hail Mary

It's funny. When it happened, my first reaction was, What the Hell were those Tennessee DBs thinking? Looks like Butch Jones is an even worse coach than McElwain.

Wow, De Kingfish from Amos N’ Andy!
I remember when the guy who played The Kingfish, Tim Moore, retired, and when asked what he was going to be doing, he replied: “Nothin and I’m going to be doin it slow!”

The league is full of guilty blacks and whites.
They know that they are overpaid false gods, and we are suckers for watching them.

I'm done contributing to any business or activity, or whatever...that just takes us Patriotic Americans for granted or for suckers. (not much difference)

Good lord, they think they are such slaves, or so they pretend.

It's a bunch of phony damn virtue signaling.
These people are some of the most over privileged on earth.

It looked like a normal long pass rather than a Hail Mary. Hit him right in stride. Hey Mac, you have a quarterback, USE HIM!

There’s nothing political about this idiot not getting hired. If he had anything worth offering he would be taken. Went 2-14 and he only won one of those. Michael Vick was a convicted dog fighter and was snatched up almost immediately. Who wants a washed up trouble maker.
