It is more profitable for him to continue in the martyr business both for his cause and for his checkbook. He doesn't want to play football. It can be explained a thousand times, but if you share his political ideology, you will not hear it once.
I don't share his political ideology though I do believe he should have the right to take a knee if he wants to. But I strongly dislike the NFL and how Inconsistent it is .... punch a woman = 3-10 games, take a knee= whole career
he entered free agency after being relieved of his duties. NFL teams gave Greg hardy how many chances after punching his girlfriend my point isn't about kaepernick its about how the NFL only applies ethics when convenient
Well, thank God you don't have to watch it and thank God we don't have to care about it.
He wants to play football or he wouldn’t have sent his workout video to 32 teams. But he doesn’t desperately want to play so bad that he will cower to anyone like some on this board want him to.
not an expert but that sounds like animal abuse.... what do the porcupines get to do to the feminists
If by "cower" you mean signing the very same waiver that anyone who is working out for an NFL team signs, then No, he has another agenda and we all know it. "I'd like to apply for a job." "ok, sign this document of non-disclosure, etc. etc." "No, I'll not sign it." "OK, thanks and good day." - real world scenario
You do believe he has the right to take a knee if he wants, which is an ideology you share with him. I happen to believe a business has the right to object to employees expressing an ideology on company time. And I'm certain if a player struck a woman on company time we'd never see him again.
He wants it to appear that he wants to play football. He will continue to give the appearance. It's a smart strategy that will rally support for his cause and his checkbook.
He can take a knee anytime he wants as long as he is not on the clock
Kaepernick’s main problem is that after he had three major injuries he just really wasn’t very good any more and was benched
dude have you read all the posts on this topic.
It was a waiver “based on” the waiver used at the combine with special little clauses added by nfl lawyers. Come on now.
I want some home made ice cream. But I am not going to run to the store tonight and buy all the ingredients required nor an ice cream maker. But I still REALLY want some.
Not every NFL hopeful has shaken the NFL down for $10,000,000 prior to their workout. Pretty self-explanatory why they'd add "special little clauses."
well the commish is paid 44 million a year for being pretty mediocre at his job so I am guessing thats a drop in the bucket for franchises worth 2.5 billion.
No I have no problem with him taking a knee and there being consequences for it but I think the consequences are not equitable to other offenses. And personally I'd much rather hire someone who doesn't stand for the anthem or the pledge on company time than for someone who abuses women outside of it but to each their own I guess.
Just as the league wants it to appear that they are giving him an equal opportunity to play football. They want to give that appearance. It's a smart strategy that will rally support for their cause and keep their asses out of a courtroom. Which is good for their checkbook. See how that works? So can we wash the bitterness away and talk about football?
I don't believe you will find any bitterness in my words; just merely making observations about actions, motivations and intent of the player. You will find no disagreement here about the NFL's intent either. Final conclusion: the player wants people to believe he is being locked out of an equal opportunity by publicly feigning his desire to play. The NFL wants people to believe they'd be happy for him to play by going above and beyond to stage a workout.
What is lost in all of this, no matter what Duck says is that the guy was injured three times and when he made it back on the field he really sucked. It’s been a long time but wasn’t he benched after the longest losing streak in 49’ers history??? Most teams want to bring a guy in to help them win, not put together the longest losing streak in their franchises history
That is undoubtedly the biggest reason nobody wants him. I have a feeling if Patrick Mahomes took a knee the rest of the year and was fired that there would be about 31 teams lined up to talk to him as soon as the season is over

That makes sense. As long as you are ready to accept your employer evaluating your personal conduct on your personal time with the same scrutiny he scores it on company time. On personal time there is always a story to tell and the story always has various angles. On NFL company time 200,000,000 million people are witnessing the story and there is only one angle. I'm not advocating that point of view; I'm observing from the NFL perspective. My personal opinion on morality and conduct would provoke removal of half the league.
Not a single one of us could disrespect their employers wishes, or whom they serve to the level of Colin K. He doesn’t get a victim card for doing this imo. There’s a time and place for everything. He has some of the biggest name ID imaginable. He has social media stature and people who would have LOVED to help him start something that would actually make a real possible impact outside of the game and his job.
He also sticks his nose up at wishes to not wear anti American clothing and anti police socks. His political stances don’t align with almost anyone who watches football either. A owner would be nuts to take on his toxic culture and person. He’s barely better then backups and a few starters. It’s not worth it to bring him back in. He did this to himself. Horrible choices, and silly lawsuits will do that.
Unpopular opinion? He wasn’t very good when all of this started. The ground he thinks he has to stand on is actually quicksand. Sorry Colin. I’m sure Canada would love to bring in your washed up talent to the Canadian Leauge.
Not even close to the scope of my response. If you don’t have a rebuttal it’s best to not quote someone.
I’m piggybacking off a good response. Adding to it, Colin should let it go. He’s washed up. I’m sorry
Him taking a knee has nothing to do with him being a terrible QB. The last 2 years he played at SF they were 7-25!!!!!!,,,is that the guy you want leading your team???

But he's not talking about you. You're talking about him. Sounds like he is winning this one.
