I debate that. I see no real difference in the Saints games and Pels games...... Maybe for the tv audience but the live crowd feels identical when I am there

we talking over the entirety of the leagues. Not one person’s experience in one city.

Would fans that have both NFL and NBA teams in their city like to comment?

Just wanna point out that the NBA has a rule about standing during the Anthem.

There's studies on this stuff bubba, one persons experioence in one particular city means nothing. This should be common sense to anyone.

Here is my take on why he hasnt been offered a job, almost everyone agrees that he is a backup level player now. So he gets a job with say......the Browns, with the shite show that the QB job is there now, how long before the narrative changes? Now its, he isnt "starting" because he expressed his views.....no, its because fricken Kizer is better than you, no one wants that. Once he is hired as a backup for ANY team the narrative will change and said team will feel pressure to play him. Then, bench him? Oh hell no! Cut him? That would be worse......He will never play in the NFL again.
if he plays and proves to suck, he no longer has the narrative that SJW status is keeping him out of the league...

He's already proven this. He's been below average the last two years, one of them being bottom of the league. He hasn't been above averages since 2013.

Lol a basketball coach evaluating an NFL quarterback then commenting on a league he knows nothing about. This guy is a classless POS.

Actually he isn't go to an NBA game the fans going are still more "white" If a player decided to kneel they may have the owners with them but the casual fan would still probably be a conservative white guy and upset. Look at what happened when a player didn't want to stand before.

Maybe Kerr can give Kaepernick a job as an assistant on his ultimate douche squad, the Golden State Warriors.

But the NFL has a different fan base than the NBA. The NBA is more urban, the NFL is more conservative, and I think a lot of NFL fans are truly angry at Kaepernick, and I think owners are worried what it's going to do to business."

Probably true

True, and I dislike the guy, but he’d still be on a roster somewhere if he didn’t go full SJW retard. He’d be a backup somewhere.

#1, that's a subjective statement

#2, It's not about talent. It's about talent comparable to publicity. If you are causing problems "off the field" (per-se), then your talent level has to be very high.

Owners are willing to put up with "X" amount of non football issues comparable to "Y" amount of talent.

Kaep's talent is no where near the level it needs to be to offset the insanely negative publicity he would bring to the team that signs him.

Steve Kerr is talking out of his arse and doesn't know what the frick he's talking about.
