For the white folks out here who still think Colin Kaepernick is not in the NFL because he is no longer good enough

Go take another hit off your crackpipe, Pookie.

That is all...

I know. Only half the NFL teams have Jewish ownership.

Now the NBA...non Jewish ownership is a rare thing.

He's an arrogant human being who was trying to be "seen" and "relevant" when he went down on his knee because the cameras were on him. If you don't like it here, go over to Europe or the Middle East. Good luck! He had it all and his "everybody look at me" attitude backfired on him.

Race? I don't think so, he was just being a fool.

And Kaepernick is not black.

Why haven't the non Jewish owners hired him?

Huh? Just was pointing out that calling someone a crack head for referring to NFL Jewish ownership is counterfactual.

I am aware you are uncomfortable whenever facts like that are revealed.

I'm just uncomfortable when race or religion is brought up unnecessarily by people like you who hate and have agendas. Again the Jewish owners don't want hin, what about the non Jewish owners, what about a Muslim owner?

Thank you. The NFL is something like 75 percent black and the 49ers offense was/is almost entirely black. Kaepernick doesn't play for the 49ers because he wasn't very good AND many of his black teammates thought he was a spoiled prima donna.

Dozens of black NFL players made some sort of social justice protest over 2015-2016. Most of them are still playing in the NFL because they are good at their job and get along with their teammates. Kaepernick isn't and doesn't. That is all.

Actually Kaepernick was extremely well liked and well respected by his teammates.

You might want to consider educating yourself instead of spouting out your own prejudices as if they were facts.

Other players on numerous teams followed Kaps lead and took a knee during the anthem as well. They didn't lose their job. America gave Kap an opportunity he otherwise would not have. America made Kap filthy rich. Now he decides to protest against the country that brought him every opportunity he ever wanted. Wow.

Gimme a phucking break! Kaepernick is not in the NFL because he is not a house Negro.

Uh, before his NFL foolishness, nobody knew he was of African American ancestry, period. At Nevada, he coulda been just another tan frat boy or someone with a little Hispanic, Polynesian, or some other light-brown skinned race in his blood. There was no stupid Afro, because he was clean cut, or position on race, because he didn't have one, instead he let his phenomenal numbers on the field do the talking. It's always a waste when a great athlete goes and does something stupid, like open their mouths...

You over exaggerate.

The Seahawks were very interested in Kap and met with him. It didn't work for 2 reasons:

1) Kap wanted too much money. The Hawks are very strained at their salary cap in part due to Russel Wilson's huge contract.

2) Kap would have caused too much division in the team. But this division had nothing to do with BLM stuff. There is a faction on the team who resent RW for his huge contract shackling the team (For example, they had the lowest paid OL in the NFL to compensate). There are some players who openly wanted Kap to come in and start. You can't have a RW faction and a Kap faction on a team. That would be too divisive.

I don't think most Black players in the NFL would call the Seahawks coach (Carrol) or owner (Allen) racist. They are both pretty respected in that area. Lane sat and Allen and Carrol were fine with it.

Don't forget that the entire Seahawk team (white, black, whatever) linked arms during the National Anthem in support of Kaps message. They thought of kneeling but decided not to. They just felt that kneeling or sitting was not respectful to our veterans of all colors.

Racism exists in our country. But it becomes like the boy who cries wolf when racism is invoked all the time to explain everything. I don't want legitimate claims of racism to be drowned out by false claims.

No, when the 49's fell apart the Players, Coach and the system of play that capitalized on Kap's athleticism disappeared. The environment that supported him and allowed him to flourish vanished and he got the short end of the stick and unfairly tasked with the impossible. Football stopped being fun and became an unfulfilling burden and he quit. Decided to be the jaded man left out an lashed out. Used social issues to justify his defiance of a system that left him out to dry.

glad you mention this wrote:

It'd be really interesting to see a black NFL player raise awareness about black on black homicide, in this country. Maybe Kaep should try that.

Right. If you have any problems within your own community, you can't complain that the state kills your people with impunity.

Ummm, no. Black males kill other black males, with impunity. There are certainly issues with 'the state' and its handling of situations with public citizens, but the fact is, a black man is far more likely to die at the hands of another black man, than any other subject. That is a fact, and if you can't deal with that, you live in denial.

So, let's see if I understand your logic here. Basically you are saying that anyone in this country who does well financially should disqualify themselves from public discussion about aspects of this country that could be improved. That about right?

So does reverse racism, and it's rampant. Try getting into U of M. If you're black, your odds go up, bigtime. Reverse Racism is not helping and affirmative action doesn't either. Merits, not race!

Michael Sam was SEC defensive player of the year, came out, and never got to play a down in the league during the regular season, though he was good in the preseason.

Michael Sam didn't make it because he wasn't good enough. Classic good in college, but not big, fast or strong enough to make it in the NFL. Long before Sam, Archie Griffin won multiple Heismans at Ohio State and never made a ripple in the NFL, because he wasn't big, fast or strong enough to make it in the NFL.

The only difference between the two was that Sam was an attention seeking gay guy with a proclivity for drama and attention, who used his sexual orientation as an excuse for the fact that he wasn't big, fast or strong enough to cut it.

So glad he's gone! The NFL will be a better place this season.

That guy is trouble. Trouble divides a team. Divided teams rarely win.

Stay away from trouble.

Mr.Washington you sir a a racist, I wouldn't care what color you are, not respecting your nations anthem is wrong. Kaepernick is loser.
