They are trying to do just that starting at the collegiate recruiting level that feeds the NFL. They started with the purge of white cornerbacks, safeties, running backs and wide outs in the 80s and now they are working on QBs. Won’t be long before any white guys in the NFL will have to come from Europe or Australia.... that’s what happened in basketball as most the whites in the states were locked out of the recruiting process.

The NFL has been banned in my home for four years.

Why people still insist on watching, I’ll never know.

I’ve always hated the NBA, so that was never a problem.

I pretty much regard it as that; so works for me.

He walked away from a contract and became a free agent seeking a starting position. Denver offered, but it wasn’t a top spot so he gave them a pass. His own ego did him in.
He wanted way more money than what he was worth, what he could deliver. He wanted to be paid like a top 5 QB when he was a 2nd string backup. And now 3-4 years out of the game and age 32 and little reputation for actually playing the game, I don’t even think there’s a sideline position for him.

I would burn my business down before I would hire a freak like Kaepernick. It has nothing to do with his color, it has to do with his radical, leftist agenda attitude and disrespect of the flag and the anthem. Does anyone have the backbone to stand up to these people? I am married to a NATIVE of Mexico, my sons have dated black women (doesn’t bother me one bit) and I WILL NOT TOLERATE THESE LIES FOR POLTIICAL GAIN. Go to hell!!!

We need a new rule. You CAN NOT get special privilege elevating you above others just because you are black, brown, pink, purple or whatever ridiculous color that affiliates you with whatever radical, twisted group to which you may belong. That includes being white, by the way.

You are not going to get certain positions in life by playing the race card, kinky sex card, or whatever stupid card you hold up besides the "I have the skills for this job." card. This crap simply has to stop. It is time for our Caesar. How sad.

Ballard never had any intention of signing Kap - he’s just telling them what they want to hear. He want’s to work in this league and that’s what you have to say.

Kaepernick will never play another game in the NFL short of a guarantee of a starting job. Don't count that out from “woke” GM’s / owners. Meantime Uncle Phil at Nike is paying him millions.

You know, it has taken a long time for me to realize that the NFL only wants their fan base to comprise of Blacks and Liberal/Progressives, the latter of which does not exist in this universe.

Shouting a quote from the late, great Chris Farley, while pulling my hair: “STUPID”!

I can only imagine Kaepernick in New England with Bellicheck. It Might be fun to watch.

That's it! Label him the "Heir to Brady" - the guy who will make all that White Quarterback Privilege evaporate from New England. :)
