The smartest words to come out of the NFL in 5 years. Meanwhile, let the NFL continue to be irrelevant. Division & hate deserve to fail.

Are there any football metrics where Kaepernick is better than Tebow


I hate to say it, but he’s won more playoff games.

Difference is that Tebow isn’t returning at QB, arguably a position neither of them would succeed at. Kaepernick was given a try out and shite all over it for optics.

A team owned by a Muslim doesn't want Kaep. I love it

Wait. The league is mostly black but they are saying Tebow is getting the job because he’s white? Seems like you have much more of an advantage if you are black.

I’m taking crazy pills

He is a great man of God and he's proud of it. That's all that's needed for people to hate you these days. The devil is waging war on all fronts.

I'm sure if CK was offered a non-guaranteed, vet minimum contract, to play a position he had never played before. He would accept, they just hate him because he ain't white

If Tebow or any other pro athlete is smart, he will get his money completely out of this country and into the hands of a good independent wealth manager in Switzerland. No way I'd invest a dime in the grease fire of an economy that is this country's economy. He wouldn't be patriotic by doing so, he'd just be playing stupid. I hate that, but the truth is the truth.

Kap has no interest in returning to football. He makes WAY more money and draws WAY more attention in his new profession as a professional victim/race baiter than languishing as some teams practice squad QB.

The media puts the message of the vocal minority out there as if they represent everyone. They don't. Most Americans, black, white, whatever are tired of this divisive crap that the media keeps churning out.


Exactly this. In these days of social media and the 24 hour news cycle, the media amplifies the voices of the craziest on both sides for ratings and clicks.

Kaep doesn’t actually want to play. If he did he would no longer be a victim. Remember when he did that practice a few years ago and 20 something NFL teams sent a scout and then he decided not to even show up and gave a press conference about how racist the NFL was instead? What other scrub player would get that kind of attention for a solo practice? And then not even practice?

The dude is a clown and deserves the criticism he gets. The grifters in the media trying to pit Tebow against him to prove racism are the scum of society.

Smith said that Kaepernick would just divide the players in the locker room.


This is something that fans really don't understand. If there is bad team chemistry in the locker room a player dreads going to work instead of being excited about it.
Bobby Cox had tremendous success with the Braves getting undervalued free agents who were terrific. His rule #1: 'Are they liked by their teammates?'

Kaep even trying to play football?


No he isn't. He doesnt want to. As soon as a team signs him, the narrative of him being blacklisted and discriminated against goes away and he can no longer making millions being a warrior of social justice doing nothing but sitting on his arse. I guarantee Kaepernick loves his current position.

Isn't it still taxed the same though? Not understanding the difference between here and there.

No because the IRS has a double taxation treaty with the Swiss. You still have to jump through a bunch of hoops at filing time though. Fatca forms etc. Another plus is the Swiss have the lowest income and corporate taxes in the developed world. Highest income tax bracket is 18%. Not sure the exact figure for corporate tax but it is the lowest along with Singapore and maybe still Hong Cong. Investors in the US don't know jack about world wide markets, and that is a bigger handicap than taxes. They don't know how to use the entire playing field.

Having known Jimmy a while back I am proud he is willing to speak up! More people need to do this in order to counteract cancel culture.
