The Colin Kaepernick controversy still...

The Colin Kaepernick controversy still...


I guess he's banking on his collusion lawsuit in the NFL because it sure looks like he doesn't want to play. if he's following the advice of an agent he should fire them but it seem a self-inflicted situation.

Average Joes and sports writers are constantly bringing it up when a team needs a qb due to injury or ineffectiveness saying CK is better than so and so. Hmm really does he have the right skill-set and playbook knowledge for that team. Just because he put up an 88.9 career rating for the Niners they were running a simplified offense geared for his skill-set. Expecting the same or better outcome is not logical with another team. Sure he can do better exceed expectations but people are writing like its a guarantee.

He wants to be a starter demanding in excess of 9 million per season even if signed as a back-up. Denver would have signed him if he would have taken less.

DO a 1 year prove it contract for a lesser amount but he won't seems ego getting in the way. He's been out 3 years skill and physicality decline he's 31 and time is ticking.

He still is holding to being a problem with the anthem situation. Most employers won't tolerate such an employee they make the rules not you.

The last reason I'll cite made him unemployable. The Ravens were eager to sign him and he posts on twitter a picture of Mr. Candie and Stephen from the Django Unchained movie. Labeling Biscotti the owner as the racist Mr. Candie and Ray Lewis as Stephen the evil black henchman played by Samuel L Jackson. There are only 32 owners and they are ultra-rich to say they don't have egos would be foolish. They are rich powerful and used to being the top dog. It is like pissing in their faces what he did to humiliate one of them publicly on twitter. A player cannot set himself above an owner that don't fly just like almost any boss you'd be cleaning out your desk.

So he's pretty much done in by his own ego. He can say he's unbreakable and stick to his guns but that is exactly why he will never throw another football in the NFL. He'd have a job if he swallowed his pride and played ball like each and every one of us doing a job we don't like because we have to. Very few can demand a salary and certainly not that which your employer thinks is above your talents. You have to at least exhibit respect for your boss even if you don't like them.

We should feel insulted of it being implied it is only because he's black lol. Seventy percent of the players are black in the NFL. The Antonio Brown situation shows as long as your talent and production are high they will put up with the bullshit. So draw your own conclusion.
