The Colin Kaepernick Thread...

[NoDak]

You have just opened yourself to be cancelled.

I can accept that.

 

[bbgun]

Why is this useless fuck even included in the game, since he hasn't even been on a team in years?

Because he hasn't officially retired, and he's only inactive because of his politics. That will be their angle.

 

[boozeman]

I can accept that.

Goodbye racist.

 

[NoDak]

Goodbye racist.

I am a white, male, heterosexual, gun owning, conservative Christian.

I've been on the hated list for a long time now.

Embrace that shit.

Same. If I were outspoken I would really be in trouble.

Damn right.

Kaepernick was full of shit.

He had every chance to play football but he turned them all down.

What's worse, he had an opportunity after drawing all of that attention to get involved in trying to create change and do something for the community he supposedly was standing up for and instead he did nothing.

I read about Malcolm Jenkins riding along with Philly police to get a better understanding of what their experience was like.

Dak donated money to DPD so that they could be better trained so as not to be so quick to assume the worst whenever they engaged with black men.

What did Kaepernick do?

Nothing.

Just got a whole lot of people to foolishly buy into this idea that his career was taken from him when really it was just a case of an average passer not being worth the headaches.

His days as a starter were already over and yet so many people forgot that.

Do I think he was unofficially blackballed from the league? Yes I do.

But that became easy for the NFL to do given how average of a player he was. If he could play like Peyton Manning, that never happens to him.

Instead this guy has a legacy that he doesn't deserve when really he should have been remembered for being one of many flash in the pan athlete quarterbacks whose careers were short lived due to being an average passer.

Yep.

The only thing I'd dispute is you are being pretty generous calling him an average passer.

 

[Smitty]

He was a better scrambling Quincy Carter.

Give her credit, she handled herself professionally while she worked for whichever network she worked for. She fulfilled her duty and got out when she felt she needed to use her voice, she didn’t muddy the waters while she was collecting a check.

Literally the opposite of how CP handled himself. He could have remained in the league, probably bounced around a bit as a stop gap starter, similar to Ryan Fitzpatrick. He chose to be abrasive and hateful. That’s on him. He could have been a QB and social justice warrior if he did it right.

[Texas Ace]

How the fuck can there be people out there so stupid to believe this guy still wants to play football?

He didn't even want to play when he started this charade a few years back.

The guy hasn't wanted to play football for years and it's ridiculous that there are still people who actually believe he does.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Notice how they didn't show if his pass was anywhere near his target...

I really wish a team would sign him just so he could throw 2 or 3 interceptions a game and people could see he isn't any good.

Yeah, but then the narrative would be 'Whitey killed his career by sitting him so long" making him even more of a martyr.
