    You girls believe everything you read? The original story has already changed. League says they never reached out to Kaepernick but they spoke. The 20 million figure came from an unnamed source. It could be accurate but it could be way off. Guess it fits the narrative Trumpqueens want in their news.

    No reason for him to play for 250k when nfl will end up having to pay him from lawsuit.

Polian said he doesn't know what transpired with Kaepernick, but added that he spoke personally with Tebow, who declined.

    Both are probably good enough to be NFL backups, but both also disliked and out of the league because teams are concerned about the backlash for different reasons.

    No matter what you think about Kaepernick. The NFL and Roger Goodell fukked up this entire players kneeling in their reaction and their response. Goodell is one of the most hated people in all of sports. He's pompous, arrogant, egotistical and does not listen to his fans nor his players. People hate Goodell on both sides of this issue. Kaepernick did what he thought was right (whether you agree with him or not). It doesn't matter his reasons or his methods. He sat then kneeled but was pretty much quiet in his stance. You didn't see him on news outlets trying to prove his point. Then the NFL black balled him, when they really should have let him play and perhaps suck on the field, so the NFL really look like dickheads, while Kaepernick is vaulted to martyr status. All over a stupid game of football. I really think Goodell might be in cahoots with Kaepernick. They probably staged the entire thing because Goodell can't be this stupid?

    The guy running the store thought people would take care of him. He thought people would patronize his business over the issue but most people really don't give a shit. He took a stand, a stupid stand over stupid shit and is now bankrupt.

    You clearly have never served in the military. His salary and how it compares to other players in the NFL is not the point.

    Ehh..... The owner had said sales had been tanking for a couple years prior to him pulling nike due to online shopping. It's like he said, if you own a gas station, but refuse to sell gas, you will go out of business.

    What is the point? What does the military have to do with anything? My dad served in 3 wars and was buried with full military honors. Your point is what? That Kap disrespected the military??? Talk to most people in the military and the majority did not give a shit about Kap taking a knee. Most rational people understood that he was not trying to be disrespectful to the military. He even took the advice of someone in the military who told him to kneel, which is the ultimate sign of RESPECT. But, some people had other agendas and used him to push their agendas. Other NFL players took a knee as well. Many of them are still in the NFL. Where's the outrage? Kap is a convenient scapegoat.

    Bullshit. He has been in business for 21+ years. It was him boycotting Nike that put him out of business. He admitted that his boycott was THE REASON for him going out of business. Not online shopping. He obviously didn't understand his customer base. He alienated the people that kept him in business. Old farts aren't buying Nike apparel. He tried to appeal to the rich white Colorado well to do. Those folks aren't buying Nike and don't give a shit about his moral stance.

    “As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized,” Martin confessed, adding that he canceled an autograph event with Marshall, of the Denver Broncos, in 2016 because the linebacker kneeled during the national anthem.

    He said sales had been down 15% over the last 3 years. Then he gets rid of Nike, there's nothing left.

    Makes sense though. Didnt Nike pay him a ton of money? What does he have to gain from playing in the AAFL? What he's going to prove himself to guys that already blackballed him? 
    Id be fine if he just signed somewhere and we could stop hearing all these twats bitch that he isn't getting a job.

    Kaepernick just got paid...

    The NFL settles huge grievance with Kap and Eric Reid. Roger Goodell fukks up again. Took him long enough and the NFL took a huge PR hit for a couple of years. How does Goodell keep his job? He sucks at his job.

    Never bought into that collusion deal, but Goodell is an idiot that is true, he proved that with the Brady suspension.

    Didn't hear much about the Eric Reid case, to be honest. So I cant speak to that.

    Oh, it was definitely collusion. They were going to eventually lose. Too many bad QBs in the league that proved his case each week. Reid is one of the best safeties in the league and missed an entire year because the owners colluded to not hire him. He just signed a 3 year contract with the Panthers. You might be able to fight Kap not being one of the top 96 QBs in the league, which would have been a huge stretch BUT NO WAY IN HELL could the NFL say that Reid wasn't one of the best Safeties.

    Goodell should have handled this shit a long time ago. It should have never hit the streets. The NFL would do well to at least hire Adam Stern as a consultant because they are missing so many marks.

    He had chances to play in the CFL, that's still a good league. If you really are passionate about playing, you go where the opportunities are. I don't know much about the Eric Reid deal like I said, but yeah he was still a really talented player.
