And can you imagine the response if the Packers or any team hired him, it did’t work out and they had to release him? That team would face nonstop accusations of racism and continuous protests at their home offices. He’s not worth the baggage he brings with him.
Given his lawsuit he just filed the Packers would have to require that he drop the suit and not re-file as a condition of hire. Better choice is to not hire.
Baggage, exactly.
I can’t think offhand, but I know this situation has happened before, where teams pass on Free agents or trades for players who are bad news. I know I’ve heard that certain players were said to be a disruptive influence in the locker room, and just weren’t worth the hassle, even if a player was a great player on the field.
In this case, capernick is at best a journeyman NFL quarterback, isn’t he? He would not be a superstar presence, and could only hurt team chemistry and fan support.
Seems obvious to me that the Pack should just say no.
An excellent point that bears repeating!
