Kaeperneck filing a grievance

"I feel sorry for him.

I even heard one congressman say he is a terrorist and is sympathetic to ISIS. I mean these are the same people who will endlessly complain that political correctness has gone mad with one hand, then endlessly complain that a piece of cloth has been disrespected with the other."

Yeah, I don't think that that's true. Stranger things have happened in our politics (look at the god damn white house), but this sounds entirely made up. If that happened and I somehow didn't hear about it, then that's even more remarkable that such a comment wasn't turned into a huge news story.

Anyway, the bottom line is that Colin Kaepernek could have any opinion he wanted to if he was good enough. He was a medium tier player at the very best who was likely washed up anyway, and most teams say he's not worth the PR nightmare. And let's also not pretend that he's some righteous, crusading intellectual. He's said some really stupid things and doesn't seem to know much about a lot of these topics he feels so strongly about, and whole playing IN MIAMI declared his respect and admiration for Fidel Castro and communism.. in a town where a huge portion of the population are refugees from that regime. Obviously that's not gonna go over well.

Clearly, if he wasn't a political lightning rod the he would have a job, but he would not be a starting player anywhere, and it's not out of reasonable possibility that each team that needs a backup decided his bahhahe wasn't worth it. He has no case.
