I still remember watching Colin Kaepernick play in the Kraft Bowl which solidified him as the greatest player in the history of the University of Nevada football. His playing style was captivating, as he became the only player in NCAA history to pass for over 10,000 yards and rush for over 4,000 yards in their college career
He didn’t waste any time establishing his NFL career either as he led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in his second season.
Unfortunately, Kaepernick’s amazing football career is being overshadowed by things that have nothing to do with his play on the field. After igniting a national debate around kneeling

What I saw was a very ugly fat guy tossing footballs on a high school football field. Every university in the nation has a young QB that is in better condition, and is better than this guy.

Kaepernick chose to be an activist instead of playing football. There is nothing really to discuss. Guess being an activist does not pay the bills. Hence the tryout. It did not work. What Kaepernick needs to do is prostitute himself for the big-money lefties. The media still gives him airtime. As long has he does what they say, he can get a paycheck.

I'm still not seeing an disappointment with the fact that the NFL should have fired Kaepernick within minutes after his first kneeling pose.
So much would have been different had the NFL just chosen to enforce some standards with the "entertainers" that they place on the field each game. ABC fired Roseanne Barr for far less. No one needs these clowns.
Had Kaepernick painted a swastika on his helmet . . . well, he may as well have as far as I'm concerned.

I heard that his old team mates wanted to get him a copy of Hooked on Phonics, so that he might learn how to read a defense.

Even if he were the finest football player to ever grace the field, thousands of fans have written him, and professional football, off. Lesson: You don't dis the butts in the seats. It will come back to bite you, and any franchise that you are a part of....Pro football lost untold millions by not requiring their players to stand for the anthem. I am one of them.

Sports teams don't want players who bring controversy with them. Colon Sackofcrap had a few good years with the San Fran Sissie when Jim Harbaugh was the coach. He is yesterday's news and doesn't realize it.

Nobody needs to hire a known troublemaker. At one time, he was a hotshot college QB. There are 124 NCAA college football teams, so there are a LOT of quarterbacks "available" each year. Sure, maybe only a dozen or two are really good, potential pro material.
But why in hell would anyone hire a known troublemaking PITA who MIGHT still have it, compared to a nice young quarterback who DOES have it, and has no history of causing trouble?
He's done, and there is one person responsible - that arrogant, obnoxious, anti-American **hole in his mirror. With an assist from his girlfriend - but he keeps her dumb mouthy self around, so even that is on him.

With all due respect Mr. Brewer, you miss Colon's true objectives. He does not want to play football again. He just wants to play the nfl and Nike to a big paycheck while promoting his sjw viewpoints. Follow the money. He's made more since leaving football while retaining his health. He has received all the attention he requires for at least two to three more years of milking the Nike cow and making people feel sorry for him. Laughing all the way to the bank. He is more famous for not playing football than when he was. As a failed backup.

In his first NFL season, Knappyprick looked like a world beater. Nobody covered ground as fast as him when flushed out of the pocket. He brought a new level to the position in that regard and it opened up passing opportunities making him look better than he was.
By next season, NFL teams made the adjustments and neutered CK, his weaknesses not just exposed, elevated. Good to know his college exploits are heralded, his pro career is a footnote, he'll never be a capable NFL player.

I really could care less about this racist thug!!!!!
And if he ever plays another down in the NFL, I won't see it!!!! The NFL lost me when they didn't stop this evil insanity when it first happened!!!!
I am not "boycotting" the NFL. A "boycott" indicates a temporary stoppage of something. No, they have lost me forever, and there is nothing they will ever be able to do to get me back!!!!
Of course, from what I have been reading, it definitely sounds like the "jumped the shark" with this latest stunt. Even the black sports commentators who kissed his butt for the least few years are calling him out for this stunt Hopefully this means his 15 minutes of infamy is finally over!!!!

This idiot and everyone around him has lost sight of the fact that these football players are not 'heroes'.
They are exorbitantly-paid performance cast members of an entertainment company known as the NFL.
The owners of every 'franchise' -did you every consider why they call every 'team' company a 'franchise'?.....of this company have finally woken up to the fact that if they want people to pay to watch their entertainment, they have to provide entertainment that people want to watch. The great majority of Americans, while having their differences on a myriad of issues, respect and honor the American flag and respect and honor the people who put on the uniform, both the military men and women who protect us from the bad guys overseas and the law enforcement men and women who protect us from the bad guys that are here among us.
Disrespecting the Flag is the fastest, easiest way to make a group of Americans angry.
This is not 'entertainment' that people will pay money to see.
Make your audience angry, and they leave. They take their money with them, and they don't come back.
This is what the NFL has -through foolishness and political correctness- managed to do.
That is why the myriad of empty seats in those big stadiums.
People want to be entertained, not insulted.
That's why the letters NFL, which used to me an acronym for the National Football League, are now an acronym for No Fans Left.
