    Owners contribute millions to Trump, who tells them not to employ people that kneel.

    Karpernick would have eventually gotten a job. This year? Hell no. Training camp next year? No, but mid year next season?...maybe. It's not what Kaepernick stands for that makes him unemployable right now. It's that he's a distraction. The same reason Tim Tebow couldn't get a job as well. It's extremely difficult to manage a franchise when 90% of the questions asked your team are about one player.

    Suing the NFL ends any chance he's got in the future. Last time I checked, employers don't like hiring past employees that sue them.

    Lol. Why? Why is it more difficult to manage a franchise when you get asked about a certain player more than other players? I realize all the simpletons that upvoted this think that sounds nice, people love things that feel intuitive, but you didn't and can't show that it's extremely difficult to manage a franchise when 90% of the questions are about one player.

    The Patriots seem to be doing alright. I'm guessing they get a lot of Tom Brady questions. Sure Kaep's attention is from different from Tom's but you specifically stated it wasn't what Kaep stands for. The attention is the distraction. But there is former GQ cover model, married to a super model, Tom Brady doing ok. And if just Tom Brady existing isn't enough of a distraction we can throw in Aaron Hernandez murdering people, Gronk partying, deflategate, spygate and the qb and head coach supporting probably the most divisive president ever who's also a racist and the Patriots seem to have done ok. But it's so hard to manage a franchise with outside distractions.
    Tom Brady is a franchise quarterback. If kaepernick was a franchise quarterback, he'd have a job. At best he's a below average quarterback with baggage. Not worth the trouble according to GMs and owners. You can be controversial if you are valuable. If you're dispensable, you better not be a distraction...hth

    I'm just happy that you came out and joined the @Sledog club.
    Yeah I hate social justice warriors. Of course calling Sven a warrior conjures up an image of Napoleon Dynamite with a pies stained bed sheet for a cape.

    I like to use the example of the most stable, consistent, successful franchise in all of American professional sports in the 21st century to discount Kaepernicks off field distraction from the unknown franchise that would sign him. And I’ll use future HOF’ers as my main examples.

    I also like to call a President rayciss that doesn’t agree.

    The most stable and successful franchise is the one that's had by far the most distractions? That's weird because I'm hearing that distractions are a really big deal.

    This is different from your original point. You said it is extremely difficult to manage an organization when 90% of the questions you get are about one player. No mention of the player skill or talent level.

    I would argue that distractions like Kaep or Brady have no impact on the field. That when players are practicing or watching film the questions they're going to get later from reporters have no impact. And if the people managing the team, the coach the gm and the owner, are having trouble managing because of reporters questions regarding a specific player maybe they shouldn't be in this line of work.

    It seems really like an excuse. Teams with a great player aren't affected at all by distractions but teams with an ok player with distractions are destroyed by it? It really seems more likely that they have no impact. It's like bulletin board material. No one plays harder because someone from the other team said something. You don't want to win more. When you lose when the other team gave you bulletin board material no one mentions it.

    Apparently it's racist to not want to hire an annoying douchebag.

    Unarmed minorities getting killed by cops. Justified or systematic racism?

    Suppose for a moment you are an NFL owner. would YOU risk putting Kapernick in charge of your NFL franchise today?

    (that's what I thought)

    Hi there,

    Lots of unarmed people got shot by the police. It's just not black people.


    Can you pass me the syrup?

    So now you can't criticize a half white guy without being racist. I need to update my rule book.
