If Kap ever plays again in the NFL- it will be the happiest day ever for the media! They make sure he is in the headlines every day.

When the Green Bay Packers do their annual report, as a publicly held entity, we'll possibly get some idea of the settlement amount. Until then, it's all conjecture and BS.

Kaepernick got his money, he signed a non-disclosure and that neuters him forever. And, he will never play any type of professional football again in this country at least, possibly the world

Trump won so big, #AGAIN.
Trump added gasoline to the fire with his comments, it went against any reasonable solution. Some owners backed the players so Kaepernick can thank Trump for his help. When a company settles a lawsuit there is usually a non-disclosure agreement, besides what is there to disclose, pretty obvious that the NFL conspired to keep him out of football.


I don't see how you come up with a win for Trump but then again you are one of his supporters and the threshold for defining a win is pretty low.

Maybe some day we will.

Yeah I only saw it referenced as speculation. We'll never actually know since it's confidential.

That figure is made up from thin air, only an uneducated estimate. It also doesn't include massive attorney fees and Uncle Sam's cut.

Winning the Presidency and getting to appoint conservative judges are pretty big wins. Stay angry and be jealous.

Wow, $60 million? I thought it wasn't about the money? Will he be giving 90% to social activism?

This is why playing the race card and being a victim is such a big business in America, he earned more by kneeling than he ever did playing.
Kap should have sued that sob in the White House for stirring the pot with made up bs.

I hope he blows it on drugs, drink, women and cars. I want him to do it just to upset people like yourself. And I want him to put it in your face that he’s doing just that. I want you all to be super angry about it.

Now what!

I'm just glad this is over. To be honest, I've never thought Kap start kneeling in good faith, and I didn't think he had a credible case of collusion. I think he was mad he lost his starting spot and decided he wanted to make a nuisance out of himself. I think someone from his camp put out the story about two years ago that he was willing to stand for the national anthem, but it still didn't result in a team signing him, so he lawyered up and filed suit.


My question is, other than that one interview, how much has Kaepernick actually said about police brutality? It seems like more people bring it up to defend him kneeling than he has to bring awareness to the issue. And it shouldn't be lost on anyone that this entire issue has been about him and his relationship with the NFL, not police brutality and what we can do about it.


My guess is, that was the point all along.
