Sarsour is an anti-Semitic, Muslim terrorists supporting, vile person. Did Colin convert to Islam?

No one is going to sign a player that sucks. I assure everyone if Brady was doing the same thing, he will still be playing.

Sarsour? She is a joke, and the Dems and everyone would be best to distant themselves from her.
He is not being signed at this point because some owners feel he is not good enough to chance a distraction. Kap is still better then the starters for at least six teams.

As far as current players protesting that are on rosters, the owners have no choice. Since there are no specific rules pertaining to National Anthems in the leagues "Collective Bargaining Agreement", owners can not discipline or cut players for doing so.

Speaking of Brady, it is rumored in the Boston area that if the Pats trade Jimmy Garoppolo, Kap may very well become Bradys back-up. Also rumors now floating in Philly the Eagles being interested in Kap. His unemployment status may or may not end very soon.

I beg your pardon, but this person quit. I find it difficult to believe I am alone in this. Whether or not enough people write in and/or quit to make a difference, I don't know. I do know that some people mean what they say.

Agreed. This guy decided to exercise his option.

You know what, the owners of the other teams can exercise their option to not pick up him.

Some dumbass from the NAACP was on Tuckers show basically crying racism because CK doesn't have a job. Tucker was trying to tell him that 70 percent of the league is black. He was hired as a black man.

I'm struggling to find the reason why the NAACP is mouthing off on this issue.

If Mr Kaepernick is hired just to shut all these different groups up, it will be a rather hollow "victory" I would think.

Personally, I stand with Kaepernick. As a pro athlete Kaepernick is using his platform to highlight injustices...
Everyone's a racist----you people wore the word out. And you made a mistake. Kaepernick isn't a pro athlete.
He'll be working the drive-thru window at Popeye's.

Probably should be chick- fil -a . Kaepernick and chick- fil- a employees have a lot in common this year , neither will be working on Sundays.

LOL! I didn't realize most of those players were starters! I was thinking Tyrod Taylor would be one of the six in the article. Once again, LOL!

Not with 30 plus million in earnings. I'm pretty sure he'll be just fine financially. That said, the biggest critics of Kaepernick are the white supremacists and their supporters. He defiantly ruffled some feathers..

No, that is going by soft stats, and by "execs", and taking into his account his league stats, not recent. Hell, Peyton looks great going by that, despite having one of the worst years in QB history his last year at Denver, and a championship ring at that.

He though certainly not the worse, is not the best, and it is more than stats, it is also team fit as in does his style fit what the HC and OC have in mind. Even the best QB will not be wanted if he does not fit the offensive style.

All in all, his 2016 season was a disaster, it was his Ryan Leak year.

I criticize him because bringing advocacy and politics into sports is stupid.
