Kaepernick to play in XFL

If you're Kaep, why put your body on the line for relative peanuts in a second-tier league? He's already made his money both inside and outside of football. I don't blame him for not risking injury if he believes he can still play at the game's highest level (IMO he can't).

He lost me for good with the pig socks, and sunk further with the workout charade. But not wanting to take less money to play in the XFL doesn't move the needle for me. Seems reasoned and understandable IMO. There's plenty else there to bag on.

Edit: Re-reading, I noticed I didn't address your actual point. We agree that Kaep isn't serious about playing in the league again.

Hell - you stayed on subject - right there it is a bonus.
Now what about Trump cutting all that funding for the Dept of Education?

So you think that rats keeping black American children in substandard schools is worth the money.

If there are two things I absolutely hate about rats and their politics it is their plantation perception of keeping poor black American children in hell hole education facilities so that they can keep teacher union campaign funding. Second is the rat support of what kills the black American family. You support 73% of children being born without a father which dooms them to a statistically tougher life.

Fuck rats and their racist politics.

I see where scotti told me to fuck off. So he is a racist piece of shit who is more concerned with his politics being in control than black American children being given a good education and starting out life on the plus side.

Fuck you scotti and your racist politics.

The workout charade was as much on the league as it was on Kaep. Agree though that he no longer is really interested in actually playing but needs the idea out there that he is.

Disagree- the NFL set up a date/time to give Kaepernick the audience he needed for a solid look. They had more than 3/4 of the teams represented with intent to distribute film to the rest. QB97 decided to move the practice at the last minute to a location more than an hour away. This which was a basic finger wave to those who traveled to see him play- folks bailed because they knew he was just posing.

And waited till the last minute to provide the terms and waiver to Kaep, including terms they knew Kaep wouldn’t accept. I agree Kaep at this point sees more value in not playing but that was a PR stunt by the NFL and they knew based on the terms in which it was laid out he wouldn’t show. If they truly wanted to give him an audience they would have provided him the terms from the jump and worked with him to make it open. They had no intention of providing him a venue but wanted the appearance of one and Kaep called em on it.
