Sign him and put him in as a middle linebacker.

Kaep’s defenders invariably ignore his lousy PLAY these last few years. Alleging institutional racism is so much more comforting for them.

If your motivation for avoiding a player is to avoid friction in the locker room and chasing your fans away, that is NOT blackballing. Blackballing would be to avoid a player for a non-business related reason.

Interesting. The NFL takes a knee on Kaepernick. Tough nuts.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20171611/national-anthem-protests-no-1-reason-viewers-tuned-nfl-games
“Twenty-six percent of those who watched fewer games last season said that national anthem protests, some of which were led by Colin Kaepernick, were the reason.”

Even ESPN admits the truth. Besides being a 2-14 loser, Kaepernick is bad for the bottom line. I hope he finds something positive to do for the world, although that turnaround would require a miracle from God. As for football, I hope he never again sets foot (or knee) on the field. Choices should have consequences.

I fully expect to see Colon Kapernick arrive on the scene as a Democrat politician in the mid-term elections. He certainly has "street-cred" and name recognition as a Godless, Communist, Liberal Democrat, so the Democrats will be turning out in droves to vote for him, vote early, and vote often.

This is what it’s all about, he is setting himself up to be the ‘martyr’ for the cause.

Freedom of speech is NOT freedom from consequences. The biggest thing preventing him from playing is himself. He dug the hole, so let him dig himself out.

I wonder if Sharpton or Jackson will try some extortion on a few NFL teams.

Maybe the 'N' doesn't stand for what it used to.

It’s also the same reason teams didn’t want Tebow. He was going to bring a lot of distractions to the locker room.

That wasn’t Tebow’s fault, it’s just because of the way people feel about him. He didn’t encourage it, like Kaepernick does. But it is the same reason owners didn’t want him.

On the other hand, Tebow has been great for the Minor League baseball teams he’s playing for in terms of generating publicity.

Of course the fact that his play level deteriorated year over year, that his inability to take direction from coaches or other QBs, and his overall cockiness made him a hot mess.......yup no reasons at all

Poor Cappy, even though he has a shoe collection that would make Imelda Marcos jealous his net worth is a paltry 2.5 million. And he must suffer the indignity of rolling in a Jaguar worth a measly 92k that can barely top 180MPH. I am so ashamed to live in a country that embraces such raw naked racism! :)
