His collusion case is gonna go to trial, and he'll be cashing another check, this one will be signed National Football League. The NFL owners can be called to testify, and guess who else can be called to testify? None other than Donald J. Trump.
No way this goes to trial. Kap cashes his check, there will be a non disclosure agreement, and the NFL breathes a sigh of relief.
...and he'll STILL be an unemployed football player.
I disagree with both but ever notice that everyone knows Kap's name while very few know who Malcolm Jenkins is?
I don't think Malcolm Jenkins was getting the same media attention for raising a fist that Kap was getting for taking a knee. In addition, Kap held a more glorified position on the team, so even taking all of this out of the equation, more people knew Kap than knew Jenkins.
Again, you're too focused on money. How about the love of the game? How about the fact that he wanted to retire on his terms?
It's hard enough for these guys when they retire because so much of who they are involves being in uniform. But he's been shunned. I don't say that out of pity because I always said he had the right to do what he wanted and team owners had a right to do what they wanted if they didn't like it.
He could have gone about this a completely different way and come out a hero, but he chose an ineffective, lazy way to protest that amounted to little more than grandstanding, in my opinion.
He sacrificed his career for nothing because in the end, taking a knee didn't do a damn thing.
But you can't say that. You don't know what police officer out there somewhere in this country, who might have stop and given pause when they were dealing with a young black man they just got the call about. You just can't measure or see outright something like that. Some officer probably thought and wonder if he was kneeling about me. You don't know what potential situation his kneeling might have defused. And I'm talking about the real reason for his kneeling, nothing to do with flag or anthem.
I guess the numbers are in. Nike Sales are up 31% on the Colin Kaepernick ad. The right wingers are way out of touch with America. So much for their feeble boycott.
According to data from Edison Trends, online sales of Nike products jumped 31 percent between the Sunday before and the Tuesday after Labor Day, nearly double last year’s 17 percent increase over the same time period.
Tuesday. One day of sales. Big friggin deal. It would be amazing if a super controversial campaign like that didn't generate short term interest in the product. Let's see where Nike's sales are in a year.
