That said, Kap has done nothing near as worse as Michael Vick or some other NFL players that are either still playing or had many many 2nd chances....Kareem Hunt.
He did not violate ANY laws.

Lotta conservative feelings are hurt right now. First, Nike’s big gamble on Kap is paying off, and now he grabbed the bag in his lawsuit. LMAO

Damn!! Good for you Kap!! I love it. I love all your haters too. They make my day.

Nope, but he drew unwanted attention to himself and his employers. IF a team were to employ him they would face loss of revenue for having him on their squad.

All Kap had to do was show some support to us troops do a few PR events with them, but I never saw it. It looked like a FU to the country so he's unemployed. But he's free to do that.

I wonder if Kaepernick is smart enough for that.

Im a conservative but I dont really care what he does and if he plays or not, i dont get emotional over sports. You have to wonder if this was his plan all along. To never play a game again and Make $$$$$ still has a functioning brain and health.

This is the world liberals have created and want.

but when he is begging to get back onto a team, you would think that he would have signed the ebst deal he could make and go back to playing football. but instead he chose to sue the NFL to keep his name out in the public and to get as much money as he could get. the fact is that he really did not want to play football, just wring as much money out of the NFL as possible.


yes he is a victim of his own making, and he can go on playing the victim card to those that like to cry over someone being a victim. but those of us that see this for what it really is, a huge money grab, he is no victim and never has been. he is just a has been.
LMAO...that’s a LOT of butthurt in a single post. Y’all really wanted to see things go disastrous for Kap, didn’t you? You’d all be happy if a report came out talking about him losing all his money and he’s broke nowadays...living on the streets. You’d like him better then. Just as long as he’s losing.

Unwanted attention? No, he WANTED the attention. That was the whole point.

And he got the attention, the balance of his contractual money (a lot of money), and the lawsuit bag. That’s a nice day at the beach if I must say so myself.

I’m proud of him.

this works out to about 2 mil per team. Shoe money in the NFL, and money well spent to get rid of a zit like him. And since I don't have to pay any of it or receive any of it, bfd.

Meh...nonsense. You pay. You buy plenty of Nikes and watch a lot of NFL football on the Sunday Ticket. You buy the jerzees and everything.

The more you guys try to pretend as if you’re not fans, the more I know that it’s a fib. You guys are trying too hard.

You know who does something like this to its citizens? North Korea.

I hope he keeps 100% of the $$.$$.

Maybe next ,Trump and his wanna be dictator buddies can rally the Pope , and the local minister to go after people who choose to pray outside or at home instead of church, or on Thursday instead of Sunday

NFL Football can take a long walk on a short pier. They suck.
