Upset at what he called preconditions imposed by the National Football League, quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the last minute moved his scheduled tryout on Saturday away from the Atlanta Falcons training facility to a local high school where media could attend. The former starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers is seeking a return to the NFL three years after his protests against racial injustice roiled the sport. He has contended that teams would not sign him because they wanted to distance themselves from the protests, which U.S. President Donald Trump blasted as unpatriotic and disrespectful. The NFL said it

No team wants someone who's a distraction in the locker room.
Especially a 32 year old guy with a rag arm who hasn't played a down in 3 years.

Looks like he hasn't figured out yet that He is NOT in charge! Pretty foolish on his part to try and make demands at this point in his career!

SJWs like Kapooie consider themselves above it all and can make any demands or conditions they want, just like Greta the Devine. They are so full of themselves.

The Constitution provides for freedom of association. Nobody should have to hire, or associate with anyone against their will. The left keep pushing this knave, but if the knave wants to be hired, then there is always the option of quit being a knave.

Blow it out your ear, Colin. Guess you need an audience. That’s pitiful.

Three years ago this guy was out of football because he sucked. Now he's a lousy QB that hasn't played in three years and he's making demands? You would have to be an idiot to sign this racist loser. If someone signs him they deserve the non stop circus they're going to get.

He's not out of the league because of the knee. He's out because the guy's play had deteriorated, like all "mobile" quarterbacks. Mobile means running. Running QBs in the NFL shouldnt buy green bananas for their lockers. In college, they are big stuff. In the NFL they take people by surprise.
Then the NFL adjusts. Then 6'5", 255 lb LB's catch them and, ping!, one leg injury. 4.4 speed becomes 4.5+ speed. Then everyone catches them. At 29 your career is over

He should be trying out for the high school team that's compatible with his skill level.

Like I said, he doesn't really want to play again, he just wants the attention. He wants the SJW support to milk more cash from the Nike cow.

The Kurt Warner comeback story was as good as it gets. This jerk is the opposite of all that.

This whole “tryout” ploy was a fustercluck from the start. What is the NFL trying to do? Some sort of PR stunt to show that they are “woke” and being “fair” to this washed up jerk. Won’t work.....the league will just lose more fans if any team is stupid enough to sign him. I wouldn’t let Goodell in my lemonade stand.

Per ESPN this stunt was pulled 30 minutes before the workout start. Number if teams attending went from 25 to 8. One reason for the change was so reporters could attend.
True diva moves by Kap. anyone who signs him deserves all the scorn he brings.

Washed up punk who thinks he is a big name in sports because he won’t stand for the National anthem. The NFL made fools of themselves catering to this jerk. Meanwhile they couldn’t fill a stadium if the tickets were free.

I think we will learn that the NFL is just trying to minimize the lawsuit payout. That legal gauge on their dashboard goes down pretty fast when there 28 or so squads of lawyers on retainer to answer even the most frivolous lawsuit. I think he sued the NFL as a group and named all of the teams as defendants, as well. Giving him his last twenty minutes of fame may have been a ploy to shut him up.
