Kaeperneck filing a grievance

Because EJ Manuel  costs a lot less money and isn't a PR headache.

What is being talked about more?  The social injustice that these idiots claim to be protesting about or the fact that they are using the platform to disrespect the country?  Yes, the motive of social injustice is given, but then the discussion turns to the protest itself.

Remember when the bullshit started about how the Redskins name is disrespectful or the Cleveland Indians mascot is disrespectful.  The reason liberals gave was that if anyone is offended by it, it is therefore offensive.  Why is this any different?  If anyone is offended by the kneeling, it is therefore offensive.  Just like with the name and mascot, inent of not meaning to be offensive is moot

Except by playing the anthem and regularly having to 'show respect' to the military by having them come on the field/court/ice is politicizing the event.

It's talked about more, oddly enough, by the people who believe that social injustice is something that these people have made up in their minds.  They attack the messenger and not the message, going so far as to actually say that the message is something else entirely (it's about social injustice, it's not about protesting the flag/this country).  They say things like "Kaepernick isn't poor, therefore he has no idea about social injustice," which is so perplexingly stupid that I cannot for the life of me see how anybody can repeat it, and yet they do. It's talked about more because that's what people do in this country when they think you are wrong - they change the tune and put words in your mouth.  It's talked about more by people who claim to be constitutional experts when it comes to waving Nazi flags and citing 1st amendment cases, but who disappear like a fart in the wind when someone asks about other constitutional rights that are often ignored, such as due process of law.  

I don't disagree with you about the Redskins and Indians thing, although I'd go so far as to say that people being upset with teams using a mascot of a people who were the victims of mass genocide is not the same thing as taking a knee in the hopes of saying "hey, something is wrong in this country, let's do something about it."  When military personnel are coming out in support of the protesters (and many of them are), then this attack on the form of protest loses its legs.  Plus, black people in this country are REPEATEDLY told that their form of protest is unacceptable so I call bullshit on people attaching this form of protest as it represents a peaceful protest that has generated discussion, whether the right wants to hear it or not.  

You could say the same thing about my Grandmother and she is no more of an NFL QB than EJ.

He definitely likes himself a little too much.

If you think this


is snide, you might want to toughen up a little.

This is all about risk/reward and nobody sees him worth the risk given his price tag, declining play, and holier than thou opinion of himself. If he was a better player, he'd have a job. This isn't complicated,  it's simple math.

While he might not be at the skill level he was during the 49ers Super Bowl run (and without Jim Harbaugh too), there isn't a person on earth who could convince me he isn't better than some of the dreck being put on the field on Sundays. No, he's not Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees. But he's better than whatever recycled POS QBs the Browns and 49ers have and whatever other shitty backups you wanna name. If Carson Wentz got hurt I'd rather have Kaepernick than fucking Nick Foles. So yes, I believe 100% he was colluded against. I also believe 100%, unless he has some emails or witnesses or something, he'll never prove it.
