He is at it again. If you paid any attention to the NFL over the last 4 or 5 years you have to know who Colin Kaepernick is. Colin, I believe is the first to start the kneeling during the anthem. He started this the season after he got benched due to him not performing well enough on the field.
He later complained that he was benched for kneeling and that it was racist. Then he chose not to continue his contract but then later claimed that he was let go and no other team wanted him due to his belief and his stance. Later he got an offer to try out for a team and he decided not to show up for it. Of course, that led him to complain teams will not hire him due to his freedom to protest.
If you ask me sports team have to weigh the drama and issues that a player brings to the team against the skills the player brings and if your issues out weigh your skill you are not going to be on a team. His issues far outweigh his skills, so he is not on a team for that reason. At least that is my opinion.
His latest thing he is crying about is the NFL is now all about the BLM like everyone else right now and that isn’t good enough for him. He still is complaining that no team will hire him. Maybe he should work on getting his game back and someone might hire him back. Like when there was a team in the Canadian League that was interested in him, he should have taken that chance to show he could still play. Nope he just wants it handed to him.

The shame about a guy like Colin is that he's simply not good enough and that's really the only reason no one will hire him. There have been some real scoundrels in the NFL and still are, and they still play because they are good enough for teams to overlook their misdeeds.
I think he just wants to be a professional victim and nothing more.
As for the NFL, if they keep this crap up I hope they simply crash and burn. What the NFL fails to understand is that the people they are catering to are the MINORITY. The MAJORITY of this country are patriotic, support the police, and support the flag, the anthem, our military, and the very country the games are played in.
You cannot piss off your entire base and hope to make money from them.

I would honestly like to see the NFL go bankrupt and have to close their doors, that would be just so funny.
He is right now a professional victim if you think about it. He is playing a victim and companies are sponsoring him. Paying him to be a victim, that is pretty sad right there.

@porwest Yeah, your right there are a lot of people in the back ground of the NFL that I don't want to wish ill will towards. You know I have nothing against the parking lot attendant, the concessions workers, it's the players and owners mostly that I could do without.

@Bensen32 Normally I would not want to see a company go down if it doesn't have to. But this is definitely a case of 'doesn't have to.' The NFL needs to decide what it wants to be and fast or this might actually happen.
As for Colin, and companies who give him ANY opportunity to be in the limelight...
I have some wishes for them as well.

People continually "overlook" the fact that he opted out. Not to mention when the Broncos expressed interest a couple years ago he said he wouldn't kneel. His pig socks were incredibly immature, and while I understand his desire to see racism end, I feel he has changed his cause to just wanting attention for himself. I don't think he really wants to play anymore.
