Freedom of speech/expression in no way alleviate you from the consequences of your words and actions. Combine that with mediocre job performance and it is not difficult to see that he remains a free agent.

I'm taken back by your failure to comprehend the major pitfalls of this issue. The issue is not where you are forced to do something. The issue is where you are allowed to exploit human beings. Prostitution is illegal because it allows for the exploitation of human beings. It creates unsafe working conditions and takes advantage of underprivileged and vulnerable individuals. There is no scenario where child labor is acceptable. Price gouging is also unacceptable. Yet the free market would utilize a utilitarian approach and could use these methods but cover them up (i.e. International sweat shops).
It is the government who keeps the greed of corporate organizations from tapping into these practices. So back to CK, we need to be careful that we don't support unethical business practices just because we are offended by the individual who is the victim of the censorship.

Obviously, there are a couple things at play here.
1- He is statistically a terrible QB, especially the last few years.
2- HIs political stances are a display of borderline mental illness.
If he was worth a shite as a playmaker teams would look past number 2, however he is not so number 2 ruins him completely.

Prostitution is illegal bro. Im guessing you are going to stay with "gotcha" emotional arguments in favor of government intervention in the the market. I cant logically refute your emotions bro.

The NFL is a private organization.
They can "fire" him or "blackball" him for whatever reason really.

It's about the dollars. His actions last season turned a lot of fans off and in return the fans turned off the NFL. The owners are simply responding to the paying customer who doesn't want to be subjected to his antics or to the antics of anyone who wants to join in. The NFL isn't going to damage their product over 1 swj, average qb.

So you don't understand the dynamic equivalence of human trafficking, prostitution, child labor, etc? If it weren't for government regulations these could be practices.

He is a distraction and an employer has the right and need to provide a harmonious work environment, even in football. He was dumb as a bag of rocks to do what he did and I wouldn't trust him as my quarterback

He's a sub 60% completion guy
A distraction
And who knows what he actually expects. If he came out saying he'd be a happy backup at league minimum he'd be signed by morning.
If he wants to compete to start and be paid accordingly- even without extracurricular activity he'd be unsigned

It's funny that the media is trying to force NFL team to pay Colin Kapernick millions just to play football. It's not their millions it's the NFL owners. Their defense is always "He just wants to play!"
Play him a thousand a game and see if Colin would turn his noise or not.

Poor mulatto boy, taken in and raised by a white family, received the love and support that enabled him to pursue a career that made him a millionaire was CLEARLY beset by racism and must protest.

Maybe they are passing on him begause he's not that good
This is the answer to the question no one is asking

He's not a particularly good QB anymore. They should just pass for that reason alone.
However, I respect their interests in protecting their businesses over the optics of being perceived as being against his political (religious?) beliefs.

NFL teams don't want a mediocre player (their back up QB in this case) to be a distraction to the rest of the team. This isn't political in nature. If he had his own reality series, teams would probably do the same thing.
This is identical to the Tebow situation. Coaches don't want to have to constantly answer questions about a reserve player.

Other than SF and Seattle most teams would receive a huge backlash for picking him up. Added, he would be a huge distraction off the field. Throw in there he is not a big help on the field. I get it.

Do you get it? Kaepernick averaged 186.75 yards passing per game last season. For comparison, the 25th ranked qb in the league averaged 228 (Marcus Mariota). Kaepernick isn't good. End of story. His talents do not exceed his problems.
Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady could pledge allegience to ISIS and they would still start on Sundays. When you throw for less than 200 yards a game you can't afford to disrespect your country and the police officers who protect it daily.

NFL is a private company that in large part is really a brand. They are all about protecting the brand. If Colin wanted to be a football player that's fine if he is good enough.
But - he ain't THAT good, and he is using the NFL brand to leverage his own agenda. That's no bueno. Roger ain't gonna stand for that shite.
