    I still think there is a big difference between what contract he has been offered and what contract he expects. Once a team is desperate then he will be signed

    Merely wearing the right kind of clothing doesn't seem like too much to ask.

    There was also an unspoken assumption about where to sit. What good is a mini if a guy shaped like Spaulding is blocking the view?

    And that why the second string weak armed out of shape former QB is not signed.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    The language is over the top.

    But I suspect if you read the transcript of the conversation between officer (the one that pulled the trigger) and Castile, you would likely be outraged as well.

    And Kaepernick might be many things, weak armed is not the problem.

    It's awful. But the Police officer was put on trial and acquitted by a jury of his peers. Even though some, maybe many, agree with him, many see the story being more complicated than the video/transcript. That Kap turned it into the extreme message that he did will hurt him.

    He was also dismissed from the force. The fact that the second officer saw things differently paints the first guy in an unflattering light in my eyes. It seems like panic.

    You cannot have concealed or open carry laws where the police force react to news about possession of a gun with panic. And I don't think this guy is an isolated case. Remember the officer (SC I think?) who both ordered a driver out of his car and then back in to retrieve identification? When the guy moved back towards the vehicle the officer forgot he was told the ID was in the car and shot him seven times.

    Its ludicrous and its a death sentence being delivered by nervous people in a moment of high agitation.

    I don't feel the need to argue the specific if the case to make the point that Kaps view is far too broad and far too extreme -at least to the point that it will make him more controversial and hurt his chances of getting hired.

    Wanna talk police politics and BLM stuff? Start a thread in FYI.

    He can't do that because he is a race baiting fucktwat that I will NEVER watch on TV again.

    What the people reacting so vehemently against Kapernick don't seem to realize is that they are playing the exact same game. Kapernick at least has a good excuse: he's a professional entertainer. And that, and that alone, is why he could not have written what PB (who is no entertainer) wrote.

    I'm guessing Tony Oday is not entertained

    I admit I am probably not good enough to be an entertainer. I hope to be funny once in a while.

    But I don't think Kaepernick is trying to be an entertainer, I think he is trying to engage an audience that doesn't include most of this board or NFL fans in general. I lack the resources to know whether he is succeeding or not. There is a group of players who testified to Congress last year taking a much different approach. I doubt there is one way that is a slam dunk to progress.

    I agree that his goal is probably not to entertain, but his style and methods are derived from the entertainment industry. Maybe I should add, I'm using entertainment in a fairly broad sense. His approach, which seems over the top to some, is designed to be inflammatory--not to inflame the Tony Odays but to stoke the passions of people who are inclined to see police violence as part of a societal problem.

    One reason ck is not aiming his commentary toward the middle is this kind of reasoning:

    Grayson Murray‏ @GraysonMurray
    These police shootings have got to stop. But, the way they will is stop being a threat to them. Obey by the law and I promise you will live.

    This guy is completely in the dark about some of the shootings, but he thinks he sounds logical.
