Well I guess I think racism and police brutality is wrong, so I’m on his side there. The collusion case is an uphill battle for him. Do I think he’s right or that he’s worth $20MM a year? Probably not. And you’re correct, he’s rendered himself a headache because of his protests. He clearly hasn’t taken a job as a back up or for less pay than he feels he’s worth based on his own convictions. I don’t think he’s wrong to do that - he believes he’s correct and therefore won’t play for beans. They can’t come to an agreement. Not sure how that makes him any less of someone who is “for the people” by sticking to his beliefs.
I used to hate Kaep as much as the next guy, but to villinize him for wanting to be paid what he believes he’s worth is beyond ridiculous, whether it’s in the NFL or the AAF. And let’s not act like the vast majority of people hate him for anything other than political reasons.
But if he thinks he's worth $20m, which is a #$%&ing joke, then he priced himself out of the game, not because of some dumb collusion conspiracy.
Apparently it was worth paying Kaep at least $20MM per year for the two that he was out of the league, according to the rumored amounts he's getting in the collusion settlement.
The NFL pretty much admitted they were, at the very least, colluding against Kaep with that settlement.
