His actions were despicable
He was a very fast one dimensional QB who I'm impressed he was able to get as far as he did . He did have a phenomenal team around him but his passing sucked. Seattle figured this out (took them awhile).Fact is he was not a good qb...a real good team at the time ruined because krapper sucked. The political stuff was his gig to continue to get paid knowing his playing career was going down the tubes. San fran possibly has 2 more rings if he wasn't qb. Rw3 and his weaknesses were hidden by great coaching and even a better supporting cast. Krapper and his one read was just too easy...
NFL players are highly paid indentured servants.I have zero respect for Kaepernick and anything he ever said or did. He could have, if he wanted to, gone to any City Center or State Capital in the country to get an audience with law makers and policy makers, mayors and police chiefs, to have a real discussion with them about what they might do to change policies, or at least highlight what changes he thought they should make. You know, if he was serious about making the changes people believed he wanted to make.
Then there was the video equating NFL players to slaves...
I don't know if you've seen the video I'm referring to, but Kaep compared the process of prospective NFL players being measured & weighed & being given physicals to slaves being sold on the slave market. I couldn't help but noticing that all of the NFL players in his video had dark pigmented skin, as if light pigmented skin players don't go through exactly the same process.NFL players are highly paid indentured servants.

It's almost as if he had deliberately tailored his video to appeal to people with smooth brains and fuzzy thinking skills to get them to make a racial connection that doesn't exist.
You don't think it's a little bit interesting that Kaepernick made a video depicting the NFL induction process as a modern day slave market, without bothering to include any white players going through the same induction process as the black players?Because if you can’t see it, then it doesn’t exist…
So you’re upset because he didn’t include a “white” man? Would that change your mind about his opinion?You don't think it's a little bit interesting that Kaepernick made a video depicting the NFL induction process as a modern day slave market, without bothering to include any white players going through the same induction process as the black players?
I'm not "upset" that he didn't include "a 'white' man", I'm disgusted that he made the video at all. There is nothing analogous at all in the NFL that harkens back to slavery. Anyone who believes there is a similarity lacks perspective and thinking skills.So you’re upset because he didn’t include a “white” man? Would that change your mind about his opinion?
