Once the courts have taken all his money, The Man will come for his freedom.

Don't be surprised when Kaep is charged with possession, domestic violence or murder. Or abundance.

This country makes me sick.

Is it collusion?

It couldn't be because he was shit as a quarterback last year, has had multiple surgeries and is a public relations nightmare, could it?

Naw.

Sounds like LeBatard just needs to LIPO.

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

Lotta racists on this forum. Whoda thunk it

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.

Did you pull a Pumpy and think you were on Reddit when you posted this?

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.
