no, they can tell from the dna sample whether or not you descend from people of sub-Saharan Africa origin. in a grossly over simplified explanation, they know what part of the dna sequence determines skin color among other things that people of sub-saharan africa share in common.

I did not realize this. If this is true there really is no legit argument by the race baiters for their stance on CK football career, though they tend to ignore facts.

You mean his career 1 sack? He isn't even in the league right now. Dude, pick a better player.

Kaepernick hasn't been signed because he's terrible not because he's on some blacklist.


Exactly. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Michael Vick tortured and executed dogs for fun.

He signed another 100 million dollar contract when he got out of prison.

If talent > controversies, you get signed. Period.

Haha. I wonder how those black players would feel about giving up their fame, lucrative endorsement deals, and multi-million dollar NFL contracts and trade all that in for a regular 9-5 job making $40-50k a year.

Hmm...so a bunch of guys who own businesses worth billions and have annual incomes in the tens of millions are supportive of a politician who campaigned on a platform of lowering taxes and promoting business friendly policies? Color me shocked

That Shaun King post was the cringiest (and i fricking hate that word) thing I've read in years.

"I used to dream about being an NFL executive"

Well its a good thing you're not if you think Kaep still has what it takes to be a starter in the league.

This. I agree with it too. It's a business and it's about putting butts in the seats and merchandise sales. So for that reason why would a owner want someone who is counter to that.

For anyone that thinks he isn't signed because he's not better than 99% of backups are retarded.

How is this different than any other employer/employee relationship? My employer doesn't give two shits about my "issues and causes" and I'm getting nowhere close to NFL level compensation.

Travis says something overtly racist, and the O-T gets chubby.

If your talented enough, there's some teams that would be willing to deal with the PR backlash if they think the player will help their team.

Kaepernick's problem is that he isn't good enough to be a starting QB and teams don't want to create a PR problem for themselves to sign a backup QB who will be holding a clipboard on the sideline all season.

I was watching his periscope live yesterday when he was talking about this. It will be interesting to see what CT has to say today.

Yeah, if being enslaved means getting paid millions of dollars a year, then go ahead and slap the irons on me.
