Nope. See post 4.
Which is (afterall) why he pulled his crap.
Since he couldn’t make himself valuable on the field, he hoped to make it politically necessary to retain him.

Winning games with Kapernick would bring lower ratings that losing with a fourth stringer. I’m serious.

Has anybody noticed all these sports networks are not running down
the Kat to try to hire him as a sportscaster for their networks?

The reason, viewers would turn the channel very quickly.
And that network ratings would tank.

If these networks and blogs are so concerned about Kat landing
a job, let them offer him one at one of their networks...and watch
how their ratings tank.

I would not hire him. There are many capable players available to hire. And this guy is poison for the gate ( business). Literal poison. and it’s not like he’s some kind of innocent victim. He goes out of his way to insult the fans ( customers) with his (needless) anti- American BS statements and displays. Anyone making $252, ooo ,00o .69 to play a children’s game ( and only so- so, at that ) has nothing to complain about America. He should be kissing the ground every time he’s tackled

The other factor is getting bombarded every day of stories about NFL players being arrested for domestic abuse or other crimes.

Also the stories about the long-term affects of concussions are taking a toll.

Kids are not gravitating to the NFL. As fans die off, they will not be replaced.

Adam Schefter said he believes that NFL owners have tried to keep coaches and front-office personnel from going after Kaepernick.

Yeah, well they're the owners of these teams. They have the right to say who will and won't be employed by them. They don't owe Colin Kaepernick a job.

That said, I think he'll probably get a job this year when some starter gets hurt.

Gee, maybe Kap should have considered this before he flipped the whole country the bird? Obviously, he’s not very smart.

What pisses me off is he already made more in his “career” than I have been able to accumulate in working my butt off for 40 years. I am pretty close to retirement and I will be comfortable, even without SS.

I appreciate what God has given me, especially the chance to work and get the success that can come of that work in this great country of ours.

It would never occur to me to stick a middle finger at it, especially if I got scads of money for failing my first real job.

If kapernick could read and throw like Joe or Steve, then he could wear a tutu on the field and no one could care less. He was a half season fluke.

All my kids are in at least two Fantasy Football leagues.

>>Except Tim was blacklisted for being a Christian, while Kapernick is being Tebowed for being a traitor.<<

As much as I would like to think caperdink is being blackballed like the article says, he shares one trait responsible for his not being picked up with Tim Tebow:

He sucks at QB.

Maybe North Korea could hire him to do the color at the weekly anti-aircraft gun executions.

Kaepernick destroyed his own brand. He wasn’t blackballed.

No team owner wants to associate with a brand that would pollute their own brand.

Economic decisions do not constitute “blackballing”.

Good. He doesn't like America, let him play in Cuba or some other sh**hole.
See how that works out. Ungrateful pissant.
