The same thing is happening to me. I also don't play for a professional sports team, and I'm also not getting endorsement offers from sports equipment companies. ;-)
Does this idiot writer thinks Kapernick's previous endorsement deals were offered because he is a nice guy? No, he got offered endorsement deals because he was a pro football player. If he is no longer going to be a pro-football player there is no reason in the world why Adidas, or anyone else, should give him money for endorsing their products.
Finally, and further evidence that the writer is a dunce, playing professional football is not a right. The NFL is no more preventing Colin Kapernick from collecting a paycheck than they are preventing me from collecting a paycheck.
No one is stopping this spoiled, over-indulged jackass from applying for other jobs. He must have majored in something at college. Perhaps he should pursue employment in his chosen field of study.
Marketing?
