you’re acting like SJWs are capable of logic and rational thought. They are impervious to such things. That’s what makes them insidious.

Well if you started cutting all the kneelers you'd have a product so crappy that the owners would lose way more money than they are now. Let's get real


There were only a handful of kneelers in the beginning. You could have easily gotten rid of all of them in the beginning...if it was the leagues intent was to shut these guys up.

But clearly it wasn’t.

Would Lebron waste his time on this issue if Kap was white?


And to take the stupidity even further, Kaepernick is just as much white as he is black

...and another NBA player opens his mouth and shows his ignorance.

Obviously, Kaepernick's political expression is a part of why he's not signed. But, "blackballing" is very different than that.

It can be like that old MTV show Rob and Big.

CK can pick up Brons dry cleaning, play video games with LeBron, go to BLM marches, wash Brons car, join a Raw Foods group together that forages. CK can organize a neighborhood watch for LeBron to prevent future gate hoaxes.

Skateboard around the house after writing letters to Al Franken and Hillary Clinton.

Why can't people wrap their minds around the fact that it's not solely about "talent".

1) Kaep is not a good QB to begin with.

2) His talent level relative to the negative backlash he would bring from fans/consumers is the reason he is unemployed.

If Kaep was Tom Brady level, he'd be starting for an NFL franchise. I've said it a thousand times. Players are signed and/or not signed based on more than just their talent. If a player's talent is high, owners, franchises and fans are willing to put up with a lot of "off the field" bull shite. If a player's talent is negligible, then a franchise's tolerance for other bull shite is limited.

It's not difficult to understand, but people are so hell bent on his skin color being the reason he isn't on a team, that they completely ignore rational and logical thought concerning the matter.

Kaep made a choice and now he's experiencing the consequences of that choice. Welcome to being an adult.


Absolutely, it's like most people can only juggle one variable at a time. Is kaep talented enough to be on a NFL roster? Sure, but the talent and upside are not worth the circus. Same reason Tebow got limited opportunities.

It really is a product of the media's own doing, but it's a better story to make it about race or the protests.

NFL has lost millions of dollars because of him. They now have to do these self-serving military ads during every game because of him. Name another industry where you lose millions of dollars because of an average employee that was making millions and that same industry will give him a shot to make millions more?

Sorry that i am not sorry. Lesson learned for other average employees. If you want to cause massive problems for your employer, do not expect to have a job.

Or for that matter name another industry where employees are allowed to make political protests while in their uniform on the job.
