Well good. It’s throw down now circles to damn if they don’t as well. And it’s still all on the dummy.

I highly doubt they watch football anyway. This guy has made his own press and it didn’t work out so well especially since he is reportedly not that great. He has had all the attention he deserves and more. Let’s move on. If NFL is shamed into signing him they are idiots. So sign him and as owner demand certain behavior and see the SJW at ESPN and media come after the owner. Who would risk that?

95% of FB fans are very conservative and especially the season ticket holders.

Patriots wouldn’t even think about it. They like high football IQ players. The guy is not that great anyway. Good fit for the Raiders, Jets, Dolphins.

But the NFL let that basturd Michael Vick play. That is when I lost all respect for the NFL.

Police need to vastly improve training and professionalism.

Think I’ll make it a point to catch a few games this season, maybe even buy a Giants hat!

“”If you are appalled by [Kaepernick not signing], then show your power by boycotting the NFL until Kaepernick gets signed to a team,” the petition states. “This means to not watch any games, no social media comments about your favorite team before/during/after the games, don’t attend the stadiums, and don’t buy any merchandise which represents the league or your favorite team.”

Works for me. I’d consider it a “blessing” for the NFL to go completely out of business permanently. Then maybe we taxpayers who don’t give a $hit about football, wouldn’t have to keep shelling out for bonds to build these a$$holes places to play that are immediately “inadequate” and cause this team or that to move on to the next city and extort it’s citizens for a new “multimillion dollar romper room” in which to play. Come to think about it, both “professional” baseball and basketball could suffer the same fate and the country would be better for it.

Simply put, if things stay the same for the way America -- where 'all men are created equal' -- treats people of color

68% of NFL players are black. Only 28% are white.

If these limp wristed America haters eventually force an NFL team to pick up Kaepernick how many of them are going to pay the outrageous NFL ticket prices to watch him sit on the bench?

My bet: ZERO!

And once NFL teams start to select players based on their political views, sexual perversion or other PC factors rather than ability they will lose their fan base of people who are willing to pay those prices to see a game.

I quit the NFL last year because of him. I still won’t watch any more games... and should the college game become so infected I will quit that as well.

What Vick did was horrendous but he payed the price and rehabilitated himself. The difference between Krapperdick and Vick is that Vick had skills and the guts to play to win.
