From a pure football standpoint, Colin Kaepernick has not had a Hall of Fame career. He only played six seasons*. His career yards-per-attempt, while very good, still ranks behind the likes of Marcus Mariota (who just lost his job) and Kirk Cousins. He got benched for Blaine Gabbert. He never won a title, though certainly not for a lack of effort. I have spent years rolling my eyes at NFL access merchants and other assorted hot takers claiming that Kaepernick has been on the curb for the past three years strictly because he wasn't good enough at football to merit a job: an easily debunked

Yeah, put me in the Hall of Fame too while you're at it. I could use the boost.

Why stop at the HOF? Throw in an unearned Nobel Prize such as the one awarded to Obama for what he might have accomplished.

That guy turned down chances to play on a team, because he said at the time he felt he could be more effective unemployed than as a player. Of course the media narrative favored the unrest side of the coin, so they didn't cover his bit of honesty. He is as far from being an oppressed minority as Obama is. Both men grew up in upper middle class families, and to say otherwise is to be shown as the liars they both are.

Anyone remember what happened the day after CK took a knee that Sunday?
The team cut players . He knew he was going to be one of those cut. And he knew that if he took a knee the team could not run him off except that a race war would take place.
In my opinion the knee was a lie. It was about $. Nothing more.

The question is, will the NFL top dogs whose agenda is to make as much money as possible from their mostly Black players on field athletic talents, now capitulate to the demand of the San Francisco gay newspaper proposal?

NFL knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They finally got some good press and people liked the experience with the draft this year. Now the moron commissioner comes out a folds like cheap suit to the BLM movement. I had thought about coming back for games this year but after yesterday - I am done for good.

He was decent at best, but at least he apparently hasn't killed anyone or beat up his wife or girlfriend. That makes him somewhat of an NFL role model.

Colin is looking fat, and the he looks like his barber must have been locked down for the last 3 years. Nothing like a muslim conversion to make one look like a street vagrant, just the picture Nike heralds as inspiration for our youth. Yes, quit your job, go and do nothing but complain and condemn those that work. Certainly a hero to lifted above the low life working masses.

Well, they gave The Zero a Nobel prize for nothing. It would be about the same, a HoF for nothing.

The football hall of fame needs a janitor? That's the only thing Kaeperdick potentially qualifies for in a place meant to highlight the best of former NFL players.

As with most everything else, pro football is all about the bottom line. Otherwise every player would be given a participation trophy like they get in Leftist communities and there would be no playoff games or a Super Bowl so the losing teams would not feel bad. Every player would be paid the same salary. Kaepernick lost the league millions and millions of dollars so it would not have mattered if he was the reincarnation of Roger Staubach. He toasted himself.

Like many players with a skill that's beyond what the league is used to, his first year was stellar. Defenses were unprepared to handle his running threat. And like so many of those others, his secret weapon was fairly neutralized after opposing teams had an offseason to make adjustments. There were other running QBs whose edge over defenses lasted longer than his.
And #7 is spot on. Recall how it took Colin several weeks to hone his message after he started receiving attention, and it wasn't until he donated some of his own money that his anti-police-brutality activism was properly united to his kneeling 'protest'.
Initially it seemed like what he was protesting was really that he considered it unjust that he was about to be cut. And through a bit of his girlfriend's activist savvy, he turned that into a protest for all injustice against blacks.

If I am not mistaken the niners offered him a contract but as a backup with a backup salary. He wanted starter money so he refused and started the "protest" when it became clear he would be cut.
The only thing Ineed to say about the author of this drivel he is ... Nope won't write it.

I like #23's idea.
Call it the Nothing Hall of Fame.
Each inductee is awarded the Special Seinfeld Cup for Meritorious Achievement in Nothing.
Initial inductees: Kaepernick, this sportswriter and Mitt Romney.
The list of future qualifiers is endless.

Putting Kaepernick in the football hall of fame, would be the same as when the Euro-weenie socialists gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, or like the socialist academics wanting to do away with mandatory mathematics classes and substitute ethnic or racial studies courses instead.

Well, I made it about three or four paragraphs in before I had to stop before I puked.
The fool writer apparently has never figured out that the people 'on the field' in the National Felons League are performance cast members of an ENTERTAINMENT company. The money people running the organization talk about 'putting product on the field'. That's not football talk, that business talk.
Performance cast members are paid according to their ability to attract paying customers.
Cast members who have insulted most of the current and potential customers have no value to a business that depends on attracting customers.
Any evil (remember dog-fight owner Michael Vick?) can be forgiven -after the squabble dies down- IF the money men think that by hiring the performer, that they will MAKE MONEY off of it.
This jerk Kapernick is a money loser in this entertainment business, and the Bottom Line is the Bottom Line.
