The NFL blacklisted Colin Kaepernick for "disrespecting the troops" because a man who calls our fallen soldiers losers told them to.

(703 posts)That's why they do it so poorly. Most of them are only in it for the money and power that comes with it. Governing....don't be silly, they just want more of your money, preferably
all of it.
That's not going to be a problem for you is it? I'll just have my goon's(valued employee's)
come by to straighten everything out. Have all your valuable's ready for pick up.
This would be a Magat's dream. They look to the left and to right and it's all white...
I mean all right.

(81,649 posts)He was so robbed. Whenever I see anything NFL, whether its people, games, or props, my thought immediately goes to Make good for Colin!
He might be too old to play by now (although what I know about football could fit on the head of a pin) but theres always team management or some other position(s) of prominence, arent there? Theres gotta be vehicles available to him, for him to be able to use his gifts.

(3,175 posts)Like Ali, he was right too early, and paid the price.
I have more respect for people who act on their principles than I do for anything else.
Graham would have a shit fit. And it would be a wonderful FU to Wisconson where he was dissed. And California would love him.

(9,090 posts)trump piggybacks and is closely coordinated with putin tool limbaugh.
it was limbaugh and his wannabes who made it impossible for kaepernick to get a job. any team that hired him would have all the dittoheads in that fanbase screaming at the management
that coordination is obvious and wrt llimbaugh's COVID denial, shows that sen murphy is correct - trump wants more americans to die, probably because someone with an imagination, maybe a russian, told him he could use it to steal an election

(2,809 posts)Posting about being proud of Kaep shortly after the kneeling events brought a hailstorm of critics here on DU.
I don't care whether some pickydoodle point got in anyone's crawfish. Kaep has become a powerful symbol of our resistance.
#ImwithKaep then, and #ImstillwithKaep now.
