Colin Kaepernick Sentenced to NFL Limbo for the Crime of Speaking His Mind

The bigger issue is why RBs have been 'blackballed' for so many years in the NFL......the anti-White racism is real in the league

 

The Broncos are my favorite team, too. I'd vomit if they sign this imbecile.

We already have another @sshat, Marshall, taking a knee, like the idiot, Kaepernick. (I think it's Marshall). If he continues taking a knee during the anthem, then I hope they trade his sorry @ss.

I don't care what they want to protest, but I'm there to watch football, I don't want to see some idiot trying to distract everyone with his personal garbage.

 

So this waste of space has the right to force his views on others and distract from the game, but no one else's views matter?

The hell with that. I hope this idiot never get signed by another team. Maybe he can EAT his political beliefs.

 

Well, he could protest at home. In his freaking garage. And he could invite someone who cares (if he can find anyone), just so he'd have someone to pay attention to his sorry @ss while he whines.

 

The guy is an idiot. Free speech means you can say whatever you want. It doesn't guarantee there will be no repercussions.

 

I read posts like this and I'm reminded of how the Giants Owner got a lot of fan mail telling him that if they dared sign Kaep they'd absolutely never come to another Giants game. All I can think is how much I hope these same people (forum members included) who despise Kaep for sticking up for others cut the bullshit about morals and beliefs since they were awfully silent about their own team's kicker beating his wife several times.

 

The NFL does not know what it's doing regarding investigations. They've been "investigating" Zeke Elliot for about a year now despite the cops clearing him. And the head investigator? A big time Giants fan. She has described a room in her home as a Giants shrine.

So IMO, that's why the kicker never really got in trouble, and Zeke is still under investigation.

 

I definitely do enjoy reading people's posts about how Kaepernick is such a poison and how they'll boycott their team if they sign him while ignoring the various arrests from their own team, some of them for incredibly serious crimes and then feeling as though they have some sort of moral high ground. I also enjoy hearing the various lectures on how he needs to stop spitting in the face of real patriots, even though protest and dissent are considered patriotic acts too.

 

This I believe. I already mentioned earlier how Ray Rice got only a 2-game suspension for the domestic violence incident, right before the video surfaced. While at the same time Greg Hardy got suspended and still signed a year after that for the same thing.

 

actions have consequences

 

Yes, but there was no video, Hardy's case was tossed in court and he got the whole thing expunged. Ray on the other hand, was on video, was on probation for it, and was at the end of his career anyways.

 

There were pictures of what Hardy did that came out later towards the end of that season.

Don't know if I'd say Ray Rice was at the end of his career otherwise, the year before was his first lackluster year in the league.

 

There were pictures of her that she said that's what he did. She was not willing to testify in court at the real trial, and in fact lied on the stand in the bench trial(which in North Carolina is kind of their version of a grand jury so to speak). There were no official transcripts of the bench trial(that's right, they don't use a court reporter at all in those) but Hardy paid for a court reporter to be there and take it all down for his side since the state was not going to(at the bench trial). She was found to have changed her story.

We will never really know if he did it or not. According to the courts, he's not guilty and his record is clear(for that instance anyways).

 

Well said! Anybody in the U. S. is welcome to go to a city park and "make a statement" to anyone who wants to listen. But that doesn't mean that people have to listen to it, or that anyone should feel obligated to pay millions upon millions of dollars for the 'privilege' of doing so....

 

Kaep is free to do whatever he wants to do and believe what he wants to believe. But, other people, myself included, should NOT be forced to witness his arrogant drama displays. Let him engage in his stupid protests at home — NOT on the job. Screw him. He deserves to be out of work.

Professional football games should NEVER serve as a stage for self-centered, self-righteous whiners. Period.

 

As I said, I hope this same righteous outrage you have for Kaep is the same for the domestic abusers and actual felons in the league.

 

I if think Colin Kaepernick wants to take up social justice, maybe he should take up politics, or go to a local university an participate in a Cry-in, or what ever they're doing this week.

Most teams don't want distractions, they want to win games, and what not.

 

You seem to have an obsession with Kaep. No matter what any poster says, you take Kaep’s side. It makes for a boring thread, since your position is that Kaep is always right.

And you keep referring to any other position as “righteous” thereby implying that other peoples’ views do not matter. Further, you’ve done yor best to turn this whole mess into a racial issue when it is not. Kaep could be protesting against eating cotton candy as far as I’m concerned. If he protests against eating cotton candy while he is on the field, I’d say he should be removed. The stadium is not, and should NEVER become, a platform for the use of this idiot in his attempt to force his beliefs on others.

We can put it still another way. From what I have seen of Kaep, he is not someone I would want to know. So why would I care what he thinks, about anything? And since I wouldn’t want anything to do with this guy, why should I be made to watch his antics on the sidelines when I attend, or tune in, to see a football game.

Again, he’s free to complain or protest all he wants. BUT, NOT on the job. Kaep is a hired hand. He should do his job. Not piss off his employers customers. If a sales clerk pisses off customers, she should be fired. Same with Kaep. The fact that this has to do with this clown stomping on the flag adds a much high degree of anger to this question. He’s free to hate this country. But why not be a man and just leave? I don’t blame the tens of thousands of people who have come to hate this ungrateful fool.

He can protest on the street, or at home, all he wants. And, if he hates this country so much, and its flag and its anthem, and its people, he should man up and freaking leave. There are plenty of countries where a whiner might be more welcome. I can’t think of any, but hey, you never know.

 

Forgive me if I think Kaep is being unfairly punished and treated by everyone for daring to protest a just cause, then.

And why's that? Because he's socially aware of things? Because he's not just some regular dumbass football player punching people out like Adam Jones is, or getting suspended all the time for weed? Also, there's more than just one football team playing, you're free to change the channel for the few seconds it takes to get back to game time.

I'd say throwing TDs and trying to win games despite a poor record counts as "doing his job."

And this here is why I keep referring to people as "righteous" a lot. Lots of people here seem to think his whole protest was about hating America and stomping on the flag and thinking they can decide what real patriotism is and lecturing him on what the right way to protest is. This ignores the fact that protests are highly patriotic actions in themselves and they're not your comfort, but rather getting you to pay attention. Also included in being "righteous" is how there's so much unnecessary scorn for Kaep going around but these same people will be completely silent, or worse try to downplay actual criminal acts like manslaughter, murder, abuse, etc. That's why I brought up the Giants owner, and how fans dumped threatened to stop attending games if they signed Kaep but had absolutely no anger resolved for Josh Brown, who repeatedly beat his wife. Let's not forget the Bengals willingly drafting Joe Mixon this year despite a domestic charge of his own.

Honestly, most fans who think Kaep was wrong for this are completely full of ****.

 

It is because Kaepernick is a shitty QB. Ever since he got with his Muslim chick, he became a vegan and lost a lot of muscle weight and went full-on SJW lunatic. Him speaking his mind didn't help obviously. But if the NFL can forgive Michael Vick for what he did and let him back in..Because he was in better shape and ready when called upon ...maybe Kaepernick ought to follow Vick's role. Get back in shape, drop the muslim broad and start eating meat again. Maybe even shut up with the BLM crap.

 

But, again, that is just your opinion. That doesn't mean you're right. (Or, Kaep either, for that matter).

And, all other people — including the fans who pay for tickets, and in doing so, help pay drama queen Kaeps salary — have just as much right to an opinion of their own. And their opinion is every bit as valid as your own.

 

Kaepernick has been going downhill anyway, regardless of his BLM propagandizing.

 

So is his.
