Free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick reveals he's desperate to return to the NFL nearly six years after he became the first athlete to take a knee during the national anthem. Kaepernick, speaking exclusively with I Am Athlete, said he is 'absolutely' and 'without question' ready to make his league comeback after having not thrown a pass in the pros since January 1, 2017. 'That's five years of training behind the scenes to make sure I'm ready at the highest level,' Kaepernick said during a candid interview following a training session with former NFL wide receivers Chad Johnson and Brandon Marshall.

Comments:

His ego keeps getting in the way. Will his ego let him take a job as a backup QB ?

More show boating. He’s had chances but one time he wanted to change the venue and was equally uncooperative the second time. No one wants a prima donna, especially an untalented one.

CK is no Tom Brady. He had no talent six years ago and even less today. Maybe Nike can design CK Signature knee pads and pay you some cash for that.

No. Never. His radical black girlfriend Nessa Diab never misses a chance to taunt the NFL. He was not that good when he left San Francisco. Already fading on the field. And wasn’t Mark Geragos, his lawyer, going to get him a contract “in the next two weeks” a few years ago? Deadsville.

He wasn't that great a quarterback. Has he kept up with his training? Doubtful. Colin is just looking for preferential treatment, and an affirmative action hire. Problem is Colin's a money loser so nobody will hire him. Colin should get in contact with Stacey Abrams. She knows how to get money for nothing. She probably could line up a do-nothing job for him too.

He has no other skills to support himself in the lifestyle he’s learned to love. No one forced him to take a knee. It was his choice, and now he doesn’t like the consequences he brought on to himself. I don’t feel sorry for him. I’m not rooting for him. I guess I just don’t care about CK.

I thought the NFL were slave masters and the Black players the overpaid slaves. Has Kapernick decided that he would rather be an overpaid slave to the NFL than a "free man"?

The "Progressive" media all swooned over his most recent workout / demo day, declaring that he could still run and pass like a pro. The only reason they could get away with making that claim was that there was no way to gauge how his conditioning and skills compare to those of active NFL QBs (nor real game conditions to gauge whether his senses and reaction times were on-par with real-game speeds). I bet he's more comparable to a decent high school QB than to even the least-capable active NFL QB.

This egotistical jerk has gotten exactly what he deserved as far as the NFL. When he started the whole "racist thug disrespecting our nation" stunt, there were several teams that would have hired him to be a 3rd-string QB for their team just to show their "woke" credentials. But he was a mediocre QB at best, and with all the negative baggage he was carrying, nobody was going to hire him and make him their starter. The NFL is still all about one color -- and that color is green (as in cash). But his ego demanded that he be a starter -- and nobody bit. Several years later, and the woke garbage is mostly passed, so nobody wants him to taint their teams with his anti-American BS.

If an NFL team is dumb enough to sign him, I would think that team would lose a bunch of paying customers. And, during the 2021 NFL season, were any players kneeling during the National Anthem? Or did they stay in the locker room until after it was played? But the measure of stupidity was when two NFL teams, a couple of years ago, played a game in London, England, and some of the players knelt during our National Anthem, but stood respectfully for God Save The Queen. Apparently, no one told them about British involvement in the slave trade.

No. He has relevency so long as the perception is that he wants to play, but the bad white guy cabal with the old school ties and the secret handshakes are preventing him from playing. The MINUTE he says he's moved on and has put football behind him, that's it. He's done. I seriously doubt he really wants to play again. And with every draft season, he becomes less and less relevent.

Biden Is Caught Between A Mask And A Hard Spot 13 replies
Posted by zephyrgirl 4/20/2022 9:22:24 AM Post Reply
Just days after President Joe Biden’s Centers for Disease Control ordered yet another extension of the federal mask mandate, a Florida judge ruled that the agency had no authority to impose it in the first place, saying that “our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends.” To public cheers, the TSA, Amtrak, the Washington Metro system, and other public transportation systems immediately ditched their mask requirements, even though the Biden administration is appealing the ruling in hopes overturning it. No one, it seems, trusts the CDC anymore. But all of this comes as COVID cases appear to be on the upswing.

Disgraced Prince Andrew strong-armed the Queen into letting him take centre stage at a memorial service to his late father Prince Philip yesterday, insiders have said. The Duke of York is understood to have got his way after lobbying to take his 95-year-old mother to her seat because she 'couldn't say no to her favourite son' despite objections from William and Charles, sources claimed. The Dean of Westminster had been expected to take the Monarch to her seat while the Prince followed behind, but footage captured shortly after they entered the Abbey shows the shamed royal clinging to his mother's arm.

Madeleine Albright, the first woman to be Secretary of State, died on Wednesday from cancer at age 84. The mother of three served under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001 and was a longtime diplomat. Albright was born in 1937 in Prague, Czechoslovakia and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1948 as a refugee in the aftermath of World War II. Her family fled to Britain in 1939 to avoid the Nazis and then the United States nearly a decade later to escape the communists' grip on Czechoslovakia.
