Nothing more high character than a man who holds lifelong grudges against football teams for not signing you to multimillion dollar deals.

The way that this privileged fricker has been portrayed as some sort of martyr by the media is one of the strangest, most infuriating things that I've ever seen.

His pouting over losing his starting job has led to more bullshite in this country. I wish that he would do the world a favor and drop dead.

First it the cops doing wrong, now it's the NFL.

What more proof do we need that this was all about attention for him, and he used race and his standing as an NFL Player to get it.

Goodell totally screwed this up and it's part of the reason we are where we are today.

If the NFL has two national anthems, then you are un American if you go to a game or watch on TV.

My thoughts on this:

1. It was an entirely ridiculous comparison
2. but he wasn't saying the NFL is slavery. He was saying the measuring and testing process before the draft was like slavery. (it's not)
3. It would be entertaining as hell either way if he got on a team again. It would be a circus, basically.
4. What is up with his fake "black" accent?

So, a typical tedious and lengthy job search?

- Spend tens of thousands and 15-20 years in school
- Do a bunch of unpaid volunteer shite
- Spend hours refining resume and cover letter
- Apply and get rejected x100
- Some HR drone finally bites
- Hiring committee evaluates what you did in college
- Sit through anywhere from 2-10 interviews with various levels of management across multiple departments where they ask absurd questions and want to know why you got a B in chemistry, why you want this job, why you want to live in X, are you capable of Z
- Wait agonizingly for days or weeks between each interview
- mental health, self worth, and meager savings dwindling
- student loans payments hauling arse towards you like a freight train
- finally get the call that you got an offer, but due to budget cuts, the salary posted is now 20% less
- accept the job out of desperation
- spend the first 6 months adjusting to the culture and feeling like an imposter

Yeah go ahead and sign me up for your “slavery”, Colin. I’m so fricking sick of hearing this race pimp’s name. He should have been banished to the most cob web infested corners of sports history, yet some buffoons keep giving him airtime.

He sounds like Jimmy The Greek...who got canceled over 40 years ago for saying something very similar. Colin is so oppressed.

Really? So does he have the same view of employers who mandate the vax? Are they not doing the same thing on the same level as the teams employing the athletes…with the exception of the millions of $$$!

Sounds like they are just trying to determine if they and their medical staffs feel like you’ll have a long career or maybe an underlying condition that might affect the organization.

I really wish the Texans would sign him and then keep Watson. See what he said after Watson beats him out
