stethant Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'm actually amazed at the arc of my thinking on Kaep. When he first knelt, I thought he was a Grade A disrespectful chalupa. But since then, virtually everything the NFL has done with this saga has rubbed me the wrong way. Kaep has been blackballed for what 3 years now? Then the NFL goes with this charade workout and, as the workout nears, starts making these demands that no person/player in their right mind would agree to. Anyway, if the NFL really is all about being a business, then if this guy still has skills he'll get a shot. If the NFL wants to be in control well....we'll get what we had today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then act like you were joking or trying to edge someone and then act like someone else is being immature. It is what it is.

League_Champion Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Twitter › EdgeofSports Dave Zirin This Goodell-clownshow is happening because the NFL wanted a workout where they got all the positive PR for putting it on alongside no transparency as to the people present or Kaepernick's performance. They treated it like a stunt and now you reap what you sow. #StillWithKap Did the NFL expect this to go well?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Kaepernick threw the ball well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where but it doesn't matter. She doesn't belong on a USA team if that's how she feels. Her 15 minutes are already over. And don't trust Snopes anymore as they have been proven to be incorrect on many things the last few years. Probably owned by CNN now.
