[Blind Gossip] You may already know that former professional football player Colin Kaepernick is holding a workout on Saturday in the hopes of being signed by another NFL team.
Like everything with Colin Kaepernick, this event is surrounded by controversy!
Eric Reid, a Carolina Panthers player (Go Panthers!) who was a teammate of Kaepernick on the San Francisco 49ers (Go Niners!), says that the workout “feels like a PR stunt.”
Since Reid is a friend of Kaepernick’s, it is not clear if he meant that Kaep was stunting or if the NFL was stunting.
Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots (Go Pats!), says that it is “pretty cool” that Kaepernick is getting an opportunity to prove himself.
Some NFL teams are going. Some are not. At last report, somewhere between eleven and twenty-four teams will have a representative in attendance.
However, one of those teams has no intention of signing him.
Their attendance is fake. They are sending someone only to avoid accusations of racism. They absolutely will not sign him.
We do not know how many of the other teams that will be there feel the same way.
We also do not know how many teams that will not be there would like to sign Kaep but face too much negative pressure from owners or fans or sponsors.
The reality is that football is a form of entertainment. Although in an ideal world movies would be cast or athletes would be signed based purely on talent, in the real world there are a lot of other factors that come into play when deciding to make someone part of your team.
Colin Kaepernick has not played professional football in three years.
“However, one of those teams has no intention of signing him.
Their attendance is fake. They are sending someone only to avoid accusations of racism. They absolutely will not sign him.”
All the teams that were at the Atlanta stadium could have gone to that high school. I think most of the teams had no intention of signing this troublemaker.
