Professional NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick can't find a team to call home in the National Football League, but that didn't stop the NFL Player's Association from celebrating his charity work this week.

The official player's union of the NFL named Kap as the organization's Week 1 "Community MVP" on Friday. He received the honor "for his commitment to empowering underserved communities through donations and grassroots outreach," the NFLPA announcement notes.

Yeah, how does that explain all the other maxed out stadiums?

They will fall. But if anyone here thinks it will be months or a few years they are gravely mistaken.

But patience is a virtue :)

5 to 10 years.

It is looking like the NFL needs to be burnt to the ground to get rid of the infection.

The young kids are not into the NFL, they won’t replace the fans who die off, and that’s when they’ll really be in trouble.

If I were a Vol fan, I’d be ripping the coaches big time, that should never happen.

Just emailed the NFL and a bunch of teams and told them to go #### themselves.

DIE HARD 40 years fan and they pissed it all away on garbage.

Let the ghetto talent lotto winners kneel. One day they’ll be kneeling for forgiveness and asking patriotic Americans to watch them again.

Like I tell Target when they send me surveys about what it would take to get me back “go #### yourselves?

Funny thing is BLM is boycotting them too!!! lol.

I love it.

All the more reason to quit supporting the NFL. These boys who make millions are welcome to play elsewhere. A nation they respect.

Too bad these guys will never be able to make a decent living playing football. Maybe they can grow up to be high school coaches.

Kentucky is going to be a tough game. They looked pretty good last name.

And what about Vandy? That was their first win against a non-conference ranked opponent since 1946!
