No Kaepernick workout thread?

[pbmax]

A good example was Kim Kardashian. I had a low opinion of her and her attention whore behavior. But then she used her fame to do something I think is wonderful. She actively pushed for the release of a lady who was sentenced way, way too harshly for something she did at a young age. She left her comfort zone and worked for a cause she believes in. Not that it matters to anyone else but I now have some respect for her and hope she succeeds further for just causes.

So Kaeprnick's donation of money and work for Know Your Rights don't impress?

[pbmax]

This. Thank you. Ray Lewis covered up a murder and I have more respect for him than I do Colin. Ray was in the inner city trying to make a difference with his fame and his money while Kap was crying institutional racism kept me from my 2nd $50 million bonus. I hate Krap partly because I don't believe he was protesting and he is a crybaby who made up a story. He was lucky enough to monetize it.

You seriously have this backward. Ray Lewis' big adventure now is selling bourbon. Or not climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Ray Lewis is selling more stuff than Stephen A Smith is. Even if Screaming A was pro Kaepernick at some point, that would actually be a point against CK because Smith is an idiot.

Kaepernick has actually donated money and time to charitable causes. He put together a workout himself in two days because a lot of Atlanta came out for him and helped arrange for a facility.

Baltmore put a petition together to take out the Ray Lewis statue when he kneeled.

There is no comparison here that is favorable to Lewis.

For the most part, NFL teams employ three basic types of backup QBs:

- young players who were drafted for their potential to become starters.
- young players drafted or not who are hard workers and show potential for significant improvement.
- experienced players who are willing to maintain low profiles while supporting and promoting the current starter.

Does Kaepernick fit in any of those categories? I suspect most GMs have concerns.

Most backup QBs are terrible, so current GM stances seemed designed to save money, not find quality. The test for this is that starting quality young QBs tend to start. The longest wait I can think of recently, is one year for Mahomes. Bridgewater might be lone who qualifies under your categories and is good, and he signed for pretty good money.

And no GM since Seattle has talked to him to see what he would be willing to do. Its not the GMs who would work him out. Its the League. The League cannot mind read.

Its why they settled the lawsuit, because they could not make the case that teams did not want him.

But I think this is beside the point. Off the top of my head, he would make Chicago and Carolina playoff quality teams if he had been around.

Blackballed is very different from no one wants him because its a zoo/headache they don't need to deal with.

I'll give you the media zoo point. But as I said before, Tebow got 2 seasons and a camp despite the zoo. CK got 1.

This bozo will get another shot before Kaepernick.

I do agree with Patler on this: teams are probably wary of the uncertainty of his status. Its been two years, what does he expect?

What would a deal with a team like the Packers (well established starter) look like? How much freedom would he need and how quickly since like Teddy H2O, he will be looking elsewhere to start soon?

If he signs to compete (Bears or Panthers or Redskins) does he require minimum starter money to begin with or after the first year?

All good questions for a workout and interview.

Well this thread got fucking stupid in a hurry.

Research topics. The internet is actually pretty easy to navigate.
Riley Cooper racist remarks. He got paid for 3 more years.
Kapernick charitable donations. I’ll just give you this one. https://www.sbnation.com/2018/1/31/1...n-goal-charity

And I can’t believe we still have to bring up Tim Fucking Tebow. He was one of the worst passers in the NFL. Don’t bother being anecdotal about him, actually watch his game footage. Look at his career numbers. How many other 1st round QBs are out of the league after their 3rd year? He sucked in ways Ryan Leaf could only dream. That punter for the Colts was a better passer than Tebow.

Kapernick isn't some hall of fame snub, but worse or as bad as fucking Tebow? That’s just you being stupid for the sake of being stupid.

Is it though? The outcome is the same. I don't really care either way.

He didn't sure about discrimination. He sued about being forced out of the League for no legally defensible reason.

The League paid him a settlement because its singling him out of the League for non-talent reasons. Seems proof enough of discrimination. Not sure if the League cares that he is black, but I'd bet it makes a difference to the public.

Just look at Tony Oday sending him back to his "white Mom and Dad's couch".

CA is a at will employment state. So the NFL didn’t want him working at any of their businesses. Where is the problem? You work at Walmart and start going public against the brand of cigarettes they sell and they let you go. Why would you expect to be hired at a different Walmart? Maybe this example isn’t exactly the same to you but is it really that far off due to the amount of money involved?

The league paid him because they can afford to. Less headache for the rich and powerful. Same as any large company like Disney.

Tony’s point rings with me and further strengthen what I said about if he has faced discrimination. He was loved and raised by a White family was he not? He does not have any gang ties that I have heard of and he grew up 45 min from one of Cali’s most gang infested cities, Stockton. They gave him a good life it seems, one his birth parents did not. I don’t even think he looks Black. More like Punjabi mix. Not that it matters but I have always noticed.

No it does not impress me because it helps provide info to get guilty people off along with the innocent. Just more of the narrative IMO.

I agree Ray Lewis is a bad example. As disgusting as Kapernick victim routine is lewis is a bad guy IMO. If he is trying to make up for it then he get credit for that. The other examples of fuckups did it on their own time not at work. They also didn’t turn themselves into a cause. I do think they should be kicked to the curve. Kapernick slashed his own throat by not taken the chances he could have after being let go. If he is talented enough he would have been a starter again by now. Just like many companies you just have to get you foot in the door.

That article says amounts but I didn’t see what charities it went to.

Fuck that mfer cooper.

You and your bigoted ilk are oblivious of the fact that, prior to the protests, Kap was racially profiled by pig five-0’s for sexual assault. Prosecutor threw out the pig’s racist and incompetent investigation.

Add that experience to the many instances of bigoted pigs murdering unarmed citizens unethically, and Kap was gonna protest whether or not he was a starter.

Your rights are your rights, whether you may be guilty or not. I doubt he gets many guilty kids at those events. And most of the talk is cooperation and deescalation.

I'm glad we are of a mind about dodgy Ray Lewis. However, not sure I can forgive admiring Kardashian dabbling as a lawyer. That is celebrity-ing for celebrity-ing sake.

Did you ever actually read what went down with that? He was never charged pendejo! The woman called the cops and cried rape. They responded, rape kit was done, found her story to be a lie. kapernicks lawyer straight up said kapernick had previously sex with the gold digger a few times then dump her sorry ass. I’m glad you brought it up because in this instance “I’m with kap!”. He was the victim and I bet learned a lesson to be more careful when it comes to skanks.

Pretty much she went psycho and made shit up.

Just like your post. Except you did just get your ass torn by me! Again there is no DNA so please don’t try to have me charged.
