Egotistical SOB. No denying it now, not even for 49ers fans. What's next?...

 

[MANUNITED23]

It's okay, remember tebowing? Who does that anymore.

 

[mretrade]

Do you know him personally? Or do you want him to be an egotistical sob?

Its a good idea. People are selling t-shirts etc. Why not make sure the proceeds of such sales go to the right place instead of another individual owning it who was just the first in line. It is pretty much his intellectual property, not someone elses since he created the image that led to the nickname (not sure how it came out). For all you know Nike or the NFL could of approached him to do so. One of his representatives obviously did.

Do you even know why he kisses his biceps in the first place? His tattoos are bible scriptures and its to honor the scriptures. I am not religious so don't know more details.

I don't think its fair to call him an egotistical SOB.

I am not trying to cause anything but if anything I think Kaepernick wants less attention on him, not more.

Ahhh, 9er fan lol

 

[mretrade]

I am a 49ers fan yes. But if you looked at it from a view of a fan not in the NFC West, your opinion would not be the same.

I think Russell Wilson is a great person. I don't think Lynch is an egotistical SOB just because he likes to attract attention and coin the #Beastmode phrase and has his Skittles relationship, because I know its all in good fun and he is a good player.

Way to honor the scripture of the bible then- by trademarking the act, and getting paid money for it. The differences between Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick grow wider every day. Although, some proceeds are going to charity, so he deserves a pat on the back for that. But I bet it's a very small percentage.

 

[mretrade]

I really don't know if he is profiting from it, but I doubt it. People trademark intellectual property for protection as well, not just for financial gain. I saw that Nike was making a shirt. I am not familiar with the structures of merchandising sales but I do believe the revenue is shared amongst the players and does not go to a certain one.

He clearly did not start taking a knee and kissing his tattoo of bible scriptures for his own financial gain. The odds of Nike approaching him or one of his representatives approaching him to do so is really high.

If you listen to him speak or cast less judgement, I don't think you would find him an arrogant SOB. He seems like a class act from what I have seen.

Isn't this similar to manziel trademarking "johnny football" and tebow's "tebowing"? I bet there are many more that have done this. Seems like only krapernik haters are making a big deal out of this.

 

[RolandDeschain]

49ers fans just keep reppin' their fan base well around here. Yeah, he claims it's a sign for the Lord. Problem is, kissing your bicep has had an entirely different meaning for a very long time before this, and it's rather opposite from what most people think the Bible teaches. What a joke. Talk about a ridiculous cop-out.

Equally stupid, and I bashed him in a thread about it at the time.

 

[mretrade]

That is how he chooses to honor the scriptures on his arms. How does that make him an arrogant SOB?

Would you believe me if I told you I honored God by using my bible as a fleshlight? I mean, really, dude. Come on.

 

[JSeahawks]

Wilson should trademark winning football games.

 

[JesterHawk]

Yah man, he's not just like a totally kick butt quarterback, he's also, like, totally smart about the businessical stuff, you know?

He's all into trademarks and like lawyer shit man. Dude is hella smart yo.

what does this mean?

We all dont like the 49ers, but aside from kissing his bicep he seems like a nice guy in his interviews. I researched him before the draft and he no character concerns and supposedly a good leader at Nevada.

is kissing his bicep really worse than rodgers championship belt, tebowing, Newton superman?

:49ersmall:

[The Battle #83]

^^^^ haha saw a stat that says that the whiners take the longest time to get a snap off and have to take so many timeouts to not get a delay of game penalty. what the hell makes them waste so much time?

 

[3Girls'HawkDad]

You guys laugh, but I have a dilemma.

I have had scripture on my arms that I too, kiss. People pay me money to watch me do this. How much you ask? Well let's just say I make a very comfortable living, going around kissing my biceps while throngs of men, women and children cheer, sometimes faint and throw money at me.

I owe Kaepernick loads of money. I am going to lose my house, my cars. My season tickets.

Oh haha. Kaepernicking is stupid. Haha. It is all some of us have.

Of course I could fall back on Roethlisbergering.

 

[The Battle #83]

The thing that bothers me is after a play justin smith trying to draw a flag by pushing other players and when he gets pushed back he looks around for the ref.

 

[Shaz]

I don't understand why this is such a big issue?

 

[Tailspin Hawk Fan]

Classless.
