I read somewhere two or three weeks ago that Colin said he won't kneel any more if someone would please hire him.
The word "hypocrite" came to mind.
Popping into my old dino head right now is the former Traitor-In Chief saying "If I had a son, he would look like me before I decided it would be more politically prudent to put a hand over my heart during the National Anthem." Naw, Obummer didn't really say that. He did this, though~

With any luck, some of our leftist movie and TV stars will also lose their popularity and financial clout as they continue to alienate their audiences.

Born to a destitute white woman and a black father who deserted his wife and child. Adopted by a white couple who raised him as their own. (per wikipedia)
Oh yes, I can see why he hates white people. (sarcasm)
He's definitely a hero for all races to admire. (sarcasm)
Just rewards.

Live by the sword, die by the sword/ Karma got him finally. I wouldnt hire him either.

What Kaepernick never understood was that when you work in entertainment (which is what professional sports are, BTW), you only kill your own job when you get involved in politics. He should have learned from the Dixey Chicks.

Of course the other part of that was that he was too busy kneeling for the anthem to actually play football. He had a terrible season...

Anyone who does not believe in prayers need only look at the dreadful season the 49ers had after dick head made his stand and took a knee. We cancelled the NFL Sunday ticket because the NFL allowed this jerk to infect America's game.

Have to wonder what his liberal friends think of him now.. How brave he was to show how much he despised the nation that paid him so well...!

Idiot.

One issue at hand is that Americans are too quick to look to professional athletes as some sort of example of how to live. These people are a combination of talented, hard-working, and spoiled. You can tell the exact mix by their behavior. I couldn't care less anymore...

It's Interesting how these things eventually all come together. The Kaepernick story, although an opposite kind of story, reminded me of my experience coming back from Vietnam. My old job was gone (rocket & space industry), we had already gone to the moon while I was over there. When I went looking for a job it actually took me a couple of months to realize that there were a lot of huge major companies that would not hire me as soon as they found out I had served in Vietnam. Maybe they thought I might kill their women and children. I was considering taking Vietnam off my resume. I was totally dumbfounded, but soon became very pleased that one of them, 3M Company, actually gave me a job which I believe might have been because I had served in Vietnam. When I was interviewed (after passing the testing) my interviewer actually asked me a more questions about my experiences over there than about my electronic and mechanical abilities. It was the only company that even mentioned Vietnam. No one else ever asked anything about it. Thirty two years later I retired from 3M. I feel I got exactly what I deserved, a fine career, with a fine company.

I just hope Kaepernick gets exactly what he deserves too. If as a coach I was forced to have him on my team, I'd rather play with 10 men on the field and let him keep the bench warm. Same sentiment goes for John Kerry and his friend Jane Fonda. These people are purely, and totally, ignorant of what they are protesting. Should that be a legitimate excuse? What's worse however are the people that support them anyway. Football is all about money, but on occasion some fans and owners actually see the light, the real things that matter.

Colin who? You reap what you sow.

Add him to the many protesters that refuse to take a history course and learn what America is all about. Yes free speech is allowed but stupid speech is shunned for what it is.

Love it!!!

Maybe he can play in a Canadian League. No need for the US anthem there!

He can't get a job because he was insubordinate. No team owner wants an insubordinate player. Besides, he's off his game. The combination is a deal-killer.

It's a complicated issue for me. First, I've been a 49ers fan since 1953, and Kaepermick has provided the only interesting QB play for the 49ers in the last 15 years. I love his play and wish Lynch would sign him again.
Second, I think Colin is wrong in his assertion that blacks are being shot by police at an elevated rate. Blacks commit about ⅔ of felonies, but constitute only 40% of people shot and killed by police. If anything, blacks are being treated with kid gloves.
Third, the NFL is a private organization and if they don't want to deal with anyone for any reason they should be free to "blackball" him. He has other options---arena football, CFL, and whatever he was planning to do after his athletic career was over.
Finally, I dislike symbols. You only have to live in a foreign country for a while to realize how artificial they all are. Flags, national anthems, various colors associated with days of the week--it's all nonsense. The national anthem being played before a sporting event only started during WWII. Before that baseball umpires started a game by yelling "play ball". I'd prefer the NFL would just dump the play of the national anthem before games. Problem solved.

Football is an entertainment venue - a business. When people quit watching because something disturbs them, the owners loose money. They can pretend to be "politically correct" as long as it doesn't hurt them in the pocket. This my friends is an example of how we as thinking people should be responding to the endless left wing garbage hurled up at us every day. Just quit doing business with the sponsors of this garbage!

I find this ironic because he can't get a job because he didn't respect our flag. I couldn't get a job because I did respect our flag. His incident was in 2016, mine took place in 1969. Maybe we have moved in the right direction in some aspects.

Why does someone expect the people on the elevator to like them when they pass gas?

That is GREAT!

Really the only problem is that the ingrate has probably banked $15-20 million in his first handful of years in the NFL. Yeah, he's on hard times now, but if he had any sort of financial management, he shouldn't have to worry about working at the local Wal-Mart to cover 3 squares a day like many of the rest of us. PS: Don't forget: The kid is only 29 years old! If he's smart (???) he'd "fall on the sword", admit he was under duress and mistaken in his actions. In the great old US of A, he'd be welcomed to work towards further success...2nd chance, 3rd chance....just don't screw it up again kid!!

I boycotted NFL all season. I didn't watch a single game, including Super Bowl. Godell was booed mercilessly at Super Bowl trophy presentation and at NFL Draft. NFL needs to get some balls and come down on morons like Kapernick. Show respect for our country!!

I haven't followed it, but I admire people who stand up for unpopular ideas. The article says he's learning the hard way that many people hate him, but maybe he was never seeking their love, money, respect, approval, or whatever. If he wanted to say what's popular with the establishment in his industry, he probably would have gone along with whatever people around him said/did.
