frick him-

quote:


The first episode of the new Netflix series, Colin in Black & White, opens with former National Football League quarterback and current social-justice activist Colin Kaepernick comparing the NFL Scouting Combine, where NFL teams assess prospective players, to a slave auction.

‘Before they put you on the field’, Kaepernick says, addressing the camera, ‘teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that may affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact.’

Then, to really drive the point home, the black football players who are being examined around Kaepernick exit the field, walk past him, and go back in time. Now wearing loincloths and chains, these black men are transformed into human chattel and auctioned off. At the end of one sale, the slave dealer and a football coach bend space and time to shake hands. White hands.

At least we can be sure that no descendant of Al Davis would ever let himself be a part of a huge Virtue Signaling event.

He lost the starting job in SF to Blaine Gabbert that's when he started his kneeling shite.

Colin Kaepernick, with time to knock off the rust and prepare, would be better than any option the Seahawks, Panthers, and Texans currently have. He'd be better than any QB (sorry TuAnon) that the Dolphins currently have. He'd possibly win the job in Atlanta, too.


Florio is such a bitch

My gosh is that an actual article? As someone stuck in the 9-5 rat race, PLEASE sign me up for this new form of slavery. Incredibly short-sighted. Talk about a show that should be “canceled”. Sad thing it’ll be the #1 trending show — through actual viewers, or the “algorithms”

He had about 1.5 seasons of solid QB play when he was in his mid-20s almost 10 years ago now (decent seasons being in 2012-13). He has been completely out of football for 5 whole years and will be 35 years old this year yet he can somehow come back and play well enough to even be a backup?

Why would he want to be a slave again?

He literally said the NFL was slavery.

And why would ANY NFL team want to rehire a former uppity slave?

The guy is gonna be 35 years old during the new season. If he had some elite qualities a team would have already found them by now. I'd rather take a chance on someone ten years younger than someone who's been out of the league almost as many years as he played.

This is the NFL trying to take attention away from the Jon Gruden and Brian Flores proceedings. Look guys, shiny hook over THERE.

Hopefully they sit him down and say “we may take on the headache if you could help, but you suck at QB”.
