Good to see your racism out in the open. Always best to know what one is dealing with. As repulsive as it is.
Shame your buddies, who are black and is the only reason you like them, can't dominate two parent families and stop neglecting their children. How about you stop marketing welfare?
Yes, I totally agree with you. Many, if not all, of the most vocal and upfront "Christians" on this forum are also many of the most spiteful, hateful people who post here. I've long observed that so many people use their "faith" as a security blanket to hate others who are different.
That is true, but everybody who proclaim to be a Christian is anything but a Christian. Fake Christians as I call them. You just can't be mean and hateful and expect to walk right into Heaven, it don't work like that.
You don't ever get to tell me what to do. Which is what you were against a few posts ago. The hypocritical thought process you have here is laughable.
I am speaking for the truth. Make something else up.
You can't speak the truth about something you don't understand.
"You do know he turned down an offer to continue playing early on, right?"
He started his little childish game AFTER he was benched because he became ineffective as the quarterback for the team.
Np other team wanted him AFTER he showed he cold NOT be effective.
He turned down a $7M offer from Denver in 2016 while he was still under contract with SF for $12M, tough decision LOL. You might want to ask the question why none of the other 20 teams in the NFL saw fit to give him an offer for the next 2 years, everyone was solid at quarterback.

But 2016 was the last year of his contract in SF, having opted out of the final year. He should have been looking to 2017, when a $7 million contract would have been far better than what he actually got, which was nothing. Judging from his on-the-field results in the final year of his contract in SF, Kaepernick was comically overpaid at $12 million. The 49ers probably could have gotten more bang for the buck if they had sprung Ryan Leaf from prison and made him the starter.
His unwillingness to accept a valid offer from Denver exemplifies Mr. Kaepernick's poor decision-making skills, which no doubt played a part in every other team taking a pass on him. That is, if his declining QB play, his annoying tendency to become a locker-room headache, and his self-serving, publicity-seeking SJW posturing hadn't already been enough. (And they most assuredly were.)
Let face the facts: No professional football franchise wants a QB who can't make good decisions, either on the field or in everyday life. Kaepernick's poor decision-making was the reason he never played after the end of the 2016 season. And that's why I find it difficult to believe that the NFL rewarded Kaepernick's astounding personal stupidity with a reported $60 to $80 million settlement.
Regardless of whether, on the field, he could still muster, it was obvious that the NFL thought Kaep was bad for business. And it wanted to do everything to get rid of him. The reported amount of the settlement, if accurate, speaks volumes.
I doubted whether Kaep would play in the NFL, again. My doubts still stand.
With what I said, the kneeling was a social justice issue. The aftermath was that of labor and business.....
Kaep won his labor/collusion dispute, with an award up to $80 million. Add to that the $30 million from Nike, and he's sitting on up to a cool $110 million.
The NFL got rid of someone who they thought was a headache for their business! That's how the NFL rolls, whether one likes that or not. Look at how it deals with off-field incidents. It makes its ruling, and changes up once public backlash starts. (See Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Josh Gordon). And Kaep was the biggest headache of them all, because much of it's supporting fans of the NFL business (the ones who pay for them PSL's as well as regular seats) are flag-loving conservatives.
For Kaep opponents: Kaep is gone. Enough of the hate. Time to keep it moving......!
For Kaep supporters: Folk want see Kaep on the field as a symbolic gesture. To see him behind center, while folk put their fist in the air in pride. But Kaep got his money; a lot of money. Time to keep it moving.....!
For Kaep: A 31 yo, QB, out two and a half years, in a quickly changing pro game, sitting on up to $110 million. Would it not be a good time to chill with his dollar bills, instead of getting hurt at his age.......and to keep it moving?

They didn't "reward" anything, Kap's legal team would have had access to emails between the league office and owners which would have shown collusion, and not only would the NFL have lost this lawsuit against them, they would have gotten even more bad publicity and been exposed for the douchebags that Goodell and the owners have shown themselves to be.
"but he's better, right now, than 50% of the rostered QB's in the NFL."
Says YOU!
You DO know a NEW football league just started and OFFERED him a contract and he turned it DOWN. Why don't YOU get a team and offer him a contract? Or are you just another " do as I say", type and will EVER put your OWN skin in the game?
With "all" the people supporting him, getting the money shouldn't be an issue! I'd bet a LOT of the EXISTING players who knelt with him would give you some money.
"Put or SHUT" as they say!
If is so good, why didn't ANY TEAM TAKE HIM?
We hear on here ALL the time business owners ONLY care about the money. WINNING brings in fans which which BRINGS IN TV and the MONEY!
"Do players not have the right to refuse employment or must they sign any contract offered to them?"
If he REALLY wanted to play and it was the ONLY contract offered, YES, you take the contact and PROVE you are better. THEN you can ask for MORE MONEY.
He CAN'T TURN DOWN A CONTRACT then claim nobody will take him.
Or it all just about the money and NOT whether he can play or not?
The Ravens had an offer in the works but his girlfriend Nessa (Handler) destroyed that opportunity for him.
The new football league offered him a contact and he countered with a $20 million contract request. The players on that new league are not making anything north of $250K.

His lawyers will take a nice chunk from that $60 to $80 million.

Standard is 1/3. So, that means around $20-35+ million.....!
