Lol, good grief.

This is the most absurd thing I've read in a long time. Kaep is easily one of the top 64 quarterbacks in the NFL and will more than likely be on an NFL roster for the 2017 season, probably as a backup.

You obviously aren't familiar with sports.
Dear, It doesn't matter if he is the best in the Universe if the NFL (owners) decides he isn't good for business. He will be out. It's not anymore complicated than that..

And they haven't decided that.

And his head coach said its Kaepernick's right to protest and that he (the coach) would not be telling Kaepernick what to do IRT protesting.

No, this entire thread is much ado about nothing.

The point was that you are going to see more political activism in pro sports, like it or not. Not to get off the subject of Kaepernick, but since you mention Hockey, what do you think of the NHL partnership with the "You Can Play Project" or this current month being called "Hockey is For Everyone", which is basically both league and player activism for LGBT recognition, inclusion and rights?

Grace cancels out Karma. But if Grace ain't goin your way, Karma kicks in. Karma is just sort of a universal accounting system, ever reminding us there ain't no free lunch.

There also aren't too many perfect Christians, thus the need for Grace.

Oh, now to the thread topic, Kaepernick who?

Owners have allowed the signing of players who have beaten their significant others to a pulp, ran over and killed pedestrians, facilitated dog fighting rings and had serious substance abuse issues.

This guy kneeled during the national anthem. Then donated millions to help the relationship between the local community and law enforcement. And he's one of the top 64 QBs in the NFL.

If you can play, you will play. So, he'll be on a roster in 2017. It's not anymore complicated than that. Stick to what you "know".

Now you are substituting your judgment for what the billionaire owners might decide.
