Somebody Has to Give Kaepernick a Chance

[Goat Milk]

If you're the dolphins, no one goes to your games anyway, no one buys your merchandise, and your qb is the worst in the NFL. Kap goes there, team starts winning, increased profits, more media attention in your city.

What's the issue?

What made him good before was his legs.... with below average throwing capability.

Currently... he has no legs.... and below average throwing capability. lol

The brand "Miami Dolphins" would take a hit.

The local sponsors Budweiser, Pepsi, ChicFilA, etc don't want the association.

The local community is 66% Latino/ Cuban and Kaep has pro Castro shirt collection. How you gonna get public support for stadium deals or infrastructure for events w that animosity?

Bad for business. Kaep as a brand is a loser.

Kap's arrive = attention to start, not support.

Attention = curiosity = shit storm of national media = thousands of reporters and headlines daily = indirect publicity for your city = economic growth.

That curiosity = desire to purchase tickets to a game to be a witness to something in history, no matter how trivial it seems = more boos, more cheers = bigger stake in the team's future = if win, unwavering support.

Support needs to be earned, not gifted.

I fail to understand the fascination with this. No owner is going to sign a player who alienates half the season-ticket base.

The issue is there is a HUGE flaw with your signing Kap theory Goatster.

Kap goes to the Fins they won't start winning games that's the problem!! They'll probably just get blown out even more in each game.. More media humiliation for players and coaching staff also when the kneeling starts all over again on top of the losing.

Aren't there a couple of dolphins still kneeling? Well minus Kenny Stills, whereever he got traded too. Shows the alienating half the fans argument is nonsense. Doubt many Panthers fans have stop cheering for the team because of Eric Reid.

Bring him back so Ray Lewis will have an excuse to act the fool on the sidelines again.

OK... as a former Anheuser Busch wholesaler I will tell you that the Absolute Number One priority is that you protect the brand and the image and the prestige associated with it by being first in class and apolitical. Same goes for Pepsi, Dominos, Red Lobster, Kraft foods, Downey Fabric Softener and NFL

Kaep is a cancer on any brand. That's why he is not in the league, that's why he is no longer on TV.

Yes, there was a brief Nike deal- wheres that been lately? Missing in action, because he's bad for branding and prestige.

Well said Fats. Kaep is a cancer for any team who takes him. Just how many blacks actually go to the stadiums and pay to see NFL games? Maybe a few hundred? No team gives a crap about blacks in attendance. NO team gives a crap about how many blacks watch the games on T.V. The ONLY thing the NFL cares about is MONEY, and blacks do not have any to spend, for the most part. The NFL will always cater to Whites, because they have the money.

Why do some of you guys keep saying this? 95% of NFL ticket holders didn't and don't give a shit about people kneeling. They are football fans, not political nut jobs. Most NFL season ticket holders have jobs and make money. Those folks don't have time to get caught up in bullshit. It's the 90% here at SBR, most of them broke, that got triggered like a mutherfukker, when Kaepernick took the knee. The stadiums were still sold out when players were taking knees, including Kaep. Why would they stop going if he came back and was a backup??? That's asinine. Football is greater than bullshit. Football fans ain't got time for that.

Hell, even Trump said that he would like to see Kaepernick play again.

[deadphish]

there are rumblings that KC will give him a tryout. Andy Reid gave Vick his 2nd chance. i hope he does the same for Kap.

[Carseller4]

Krapernick?

Even the XFL didn't want this piece of human excrement.

[Sam Odom]

This guy beat Kap out in SanFran

[jjgold]

Kaper got screwed

[Carseller4]

Kaper got screwed

Karma has a way of doing that.

Disrespect our flag, our troops, our veterans.

You're going to pay one way or another.

[veriableodds]

he deserves a chance come he is young, wtf free kaper

1st of all, get over it. most of all, his intentions were not to disrespect anything or anybody. it was a protest about real corruption in law enforcement...not like the fake corruption Trump wants investigated in Ukraine.

curious how you feel about the "Disrespect to our flag, our troops, our veterans" by Trump.

[2daBank]

I was on his side as much as anyone when it all happened and he seemingly got blackballed.
Then ravens were absolutely about to offer him a contract and he posted that garbage portraying them as slave owners. That was not only ridiculous but solidified the assumption he didn’t want to play, wanted to get paid to do nothing!!!

He succeeded in that regard but he also assured himself never getting another chance. Let’s be honest here, when he decided to take the knee he was already passed up on depth chart. Now he how many years removed from playing?

His window has passed and his actions were those of a guy who was done at that time.. You Guys need to come up with a new pet project and let this one go awaY!! lol

Pay? He got how much money not to play??? He won guy:

[batt33]

Kaper got screwed

By opting out of a guaranteed contract? He tested the open market... His services were not needed at HIS asking price with the BAGGAGE he brings....nough said.

[Ph q all]

Dude is a cancer. Was crowned king way to early!!!

It doesn't matter what his intentions were. He doesn't get to decide for people how they perceive what he is doing.

Anyways it is funny that people keep bringing this stupid shit up. The guy isn't going to be getting a call today, tomorrow, or ever. He couldn't hit the broadside of a barn 2 years ago let alone now that he has been out of the league. He wouldn't be an upgrade to anything already in the NFL and no one wants any part of a guy that will be nothing but a distraction.

Maybe so but man were niners fun to watch the year they benched Alex Smith and went w kap!! He was always fun to watch in college too!

Soon as he was named starter that year I immediately played a San Fran SB future, shoulda hedged vs ravens!! Lol. I remember I was so pissed cause everyone at the party I was at was rooting for ravens and I’m sitting there with a future that paid around 5k! Lol

I love the way Trump called him and the NFL out. Kind of cleaned up the place a bit!

do you think he may have called out the NFL because he was bitter about the owners blocking his bankrupt prone ass from buying the Bills?
can you defend Trump for basically giving the green light to Turkey for an ethnic cleansing in Syria?

lol. Probably more accurate reason. That plus he loves playing to his inbred fans.

[sweethook]

he's way better at cop killing and making america 3rd world than football . MA3W

[KiDBaZkiT]

Jfc guy hasnt taken a snap in what? 4 or 5 years? Dude would get humiliated. Got news for the whole world, once people got tape on him after 15-20 starts he was pedestrian at best. He was not that great.

[BigdaddyQH]

Bottom line. The owners want Kap out of the NFL. What the owners want, the owners get. It is not as if blacks are not allowed to play in the NFL. It is about one player who 32 owners view as a cancer to their team. That is the bottom line. What you people say does not matter. Squak all you like.

Another worthless post from a convicted pedophile who isn’t even allowed to watch his local hs games live without being arrested for violating his probation.

You must be the outlier for white people with money since you have section 8 housing and ebt. We know you aren’t supplementing your minimum wage life with your picks since you suck at capping.

Hope the next kid you try to molest puts a bullet in you.

Funny you say this yet still express your opinion when nobody cares. Maybe look in mirror before opening that fat trap of yours.

Bottom line is ravens were gonna bring him back and he sabotaged that for whatever reason, my guess is he wanted to win a lawsuit not play football, which he did. Mfer got paid to do nothing.

No shit!! We had a draft, he didn’t get picked!!
