But no, not good enough--30 minutes before a job interview, Kaep's TEAM (TM) moves this whole thing over an hour away. I watched part of the livestream---it' s him catching a couple passes and then literally posing for stills wearing a "Kunta Kinte" T-shirt.

Holy crap! I thought they were joking about the Kunta Kinte t-shirt! What an absolute clown.

Pretty much explains why he’s not employed in the NFL: he doesn’t want to be.

This stunt is no different than what he pulled in Baltimore, deliberate sabotage to maintain his martyr status.

And the SJW idiots will swallow it whole.

Looks like it’s was all a publicity stunt. If he ever wanted to play in the NFL again, I think he blew any chance at it.

Sucka shit!

He just needs to go away! He’s a pathetic clown being led around by the wanker by a radical girlfriend & a team of morons.

They wanted him to sign some paperwork that was totally outside the normal scope (NFL) to do his work out in Atlanta which he would not do so he moved it to a non NFL facility.

The NFL also would not let him have a independent film crew there also.

That’s the inescapable conclusion from the assertion, as made by Kaepernick’s lawyer and Kaepernick’s agent, that the NFL demanded that he sign a broad waiver, including a waiver of potential employment claims.
Let that one sink in. The league, under the guise of acting out of the goodness of its own heart and/or to assuage the guilt of 32 months of Kaepernick being wrongfully denied an opportunity, set up a workout for all teams (even though any team could work him out at any time) and then, as he showed up for it, asked him to sign a waiver that not only protected the league and the Falcons against a torn ACL or some other injury that could have happened during the workout but also exonerated the league of any and all responsibility for the violations of his rights that may have (have) occurred since he grievance was settled in February.

By moving the workout off site he was able to have the work out with out that liability paperwork from the league.

“From the outset, Mr. Kaepernick requested a legitimate process and from the outset the NFL league office has not provided one,” the statement said. “Most recently, the NFL has demanded that as a precondition to the workout, Mr. Kaepernick sign an unusual liability waiver that addresses employment-related issues and rejected the standard liability waiver from physical injury proposed by Mr. Kaepernick’s representatives. Additionally, Mr. Kaepernick requested all media be allowed into the workout to observe and film it and for an independent film crew to be there to ensure transparency. The NFL denied this request.”

This whole thing is ridiculous. NFL goes out of its way to make a special occassion just for him, then he changes locations at the last minute. I have been indifferent about his actions, which are better served without a mic in his hand. What a prima donna. :les:

I can only imagine his GF can suck-start a Harley or something. Holy Christ what a shit show he's become.

You cannot discuss this issue without involving politics because politics caused it.

Edit: yes you can

penihawk · Nov 16, 2019

You’re in the ballpark with it being political but
The only one responsible for kaepernick’s demise is kaepernick. End of story.

Edit: talk about the political nature without delving into politics

Yeah all those cops shooting unarmed people that happened to be black and people with Mental health issues is really not anyone's fault, Guess they should not have been in that place anyway or really born to make all that extra copy and money spent investigating these incidents.

Only rich and affluent people deserve respect of the Police after all.

You just made his point. People need to stop blaming other people for their problems. (And I'm neither rich or affluent)

And to get back to the Kaep workout, I just watched some of his workout. Having a strong arm to throw the ball downfield does not make you a good QB. The two things he lacked, accuracy and QB smarts, were not put on display today.

Cops killing people unjustified is a problem for all of us... even if you live in Alabama

That's funny. People like to assume. Have you ever been to Alabama?

Getting too off-course here. Let's try to keep it about him and his workout today only.

I don't think you can seperate the workout and Kaepernick from politics. He has become a lightning rod for the NFL any way you shake it. Really this topic needs to be in a political forum here (do we even still have one?).

Keep telling yourself that & you’re emotional side isn’t being used by a political movement.

Edit: of course you don't. But go to the comment sections of Breitbart or Yahoo to discuss until the rules change here

It is easy to discuss the political connections of this without the politics itself.

Mike Florio (a law school grad himself) looked at what the NFL wanted Kaep to sign: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2 ... aepernick/

The sticking point is that the language might indemnify the NFL or teams from being sued based on anything they did as a direct/indirect result of the workout.

But a Kaep lawsuit had less than a chance in hell anyway. The grievances were settled just this year. He's made MORE than most backup QBs. Whatever the NFL's motives were, they still paid for the tryout. They got 25 teams to show up to see him AND talk to him.

Kaep stood them up.
