He is also not anti american whatever that is supposed to mean. I mean are those people advocating for confederate statues and flags "anti american"? It is okay to be against certain things and not be anti american. I guess the folks that were once against slavery (it was legal after all) were also anti american, lol. I salute those officers who can understand the difference. he is anti police, he has shown that w/ his cops as pigs socks and calling police slave catchers. I disagree w/ why he protested but I support his right to protest. I am more disappointed in how he said he would stand for the anthem this year b/c. he sold out trying to get a job.

Pcola Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The reason that Kaep is currently not in the NFL is because the Trump supporting Repuican owners colluded. So as just as Kaep took a stand so the owners did the same thing. So the owners as a group would rather have a POS like Vick that represents everything that is wrong with sports over someone who doesn't 100% agree with them politically. Every year either the State of the Jets or Goodell, or just the crap like this just discourages me more and more. Pretty soon people will get sick of getting charged $129 for preseason football, +$300 for the ticket, PSLs, and over priced gear for the Josh McCowns/Hoyer/Osweiler type of trash that the NFL produces.

No he had made his point; He and has since dedicated time and money to many related positive causes and raised awareness about a topic most people would rather just ignore.. Keep in mind this was in no way disrespectful to the game, he wasn't caught cheating, beating his wife/girlfriend, fighting dogs, getting high. He threw 18 tds and 4 ints and doesn't have a job. Just a few years ago he lead a comeback that almost won the Superbowl and yet, he couldn't help an NFL team? No team at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, how can the protesters tell if they won? Say someone signs Colin, what does that do for his "cause"? He started this protest when he was riding the bench behind Blaine Gabbert.

Mogglez Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 14 hours ago, Jetdawgg said: That is the point to get more talent at the position. Only the Jets don't do that. They sign QB's with bottom feeder resumes and expect to win with D. This has been for nearly 10 years now. I have seen enough of Macc. His failure to upgrade the position of QB is more than enough to get him fired. he has had 3 drafts to bring in a competent weapon at QB and has failed. You can say all the bad things about Kaepernick you. Only a certain segment of the audience believes that garbage. Kaepernick would be the best QB on the Jets since Favre. No doubt!!! Fire Macc now and get a real GM in here All 32 teams decided Kaepernick wasn't worth it so you'd be wrong there. He came close once but then his brilliant girlfriend decided to compare the owner of the one team considering him to a slave owner and that was that. He's a hypocrite, a passive aggressive sh*t stirrer, and a one-read horrible QB who serves little to no value on a rebuilding team. I'll take Sanchez & 2015 Fitz over that goober any Sunday. Best Jet QB since Favre? Not only is that, like, the lowest bar imaginable, he couldn't even out-play our garbage 3rd string QB last year. He's a back-up level QB who is a gigantic lightning rod. Just like Tebow, his talents aren't worth the noise. No one is "owed" a job in this country. Rich or poor. The NFL is a private entity and the owners have every right to not want him for this, whether their reasoning is right or wrong. Kaepernick knew this and knew what the fallout could be. Boo-f'ng-hoo.

The 49ers WERE GOING TO CUT KAEPERNICK before "his protest" made it impossible to do so. He then became a pariah and foolishly opted out of his deal because he overestimated his value. He then announced that he was abandoning "his protest" because he proved his point. Sorry but this only proves why he originally did it. For the cash. When you abandon your cause to get a job its called selling out. Yes he donated 1 million dollars spread out over 10 payments so he could make a show for the cameras each time he made one. When you take a cause and co-opt it for financial gain its cheapens the cause and demeans the people supporting it. There were people there for the right reasons no doubt. When you co-opt a worthy cause and exposing and stopping brutality is one usually the ones talking the loudest also have their hands out. We all know where those "financial investments" are going to wind up. Sure some will go into the community. One or two playgrounds may get built. Some community centers may get overhauled but the majority of that money will go into the pockets of those that are extorting it in the name of a worthy cause that need's to be addressed. Why do you think Kaepernick wasn't there? He knew that this would turn into a fundraiser and wanted no part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
