Sign Colin Kaepernick

[hawksincebirth]

Ahhhhhh I for one love it when the subtle racists come out to play….

But to the topic I for one would love to see the nuclear bomb that is Colin kaep detonate on Pete and co’s lap getting him outta town that much faster… sign him

I love Geno but Colin is out there and available. He's a qb who has won a nfc title and been to another. The only reason he's not playing in the NFL is racism. Seattle is a progressive city and he'd be popular here. If Russ is out for multiple weeks then bring in Colin

Just what Seattle and the Seahawks need. A mediocre self-centred has-been more interested in making a name for himself as s "brave' virtue signalling "woke" activist making deluded "social justice" statements.

The far left loves to dub people subtle racists. It’s a very convenient way to label as many people as you want as racist. What owner wants to sign an athlete that gets booed by 60,000 plus? Is that good for business? Is the NFL still a business? This isn’t rocket science

But "good business" isn't the point, is it? "Anti-racists" use their ideology to destroy capitalism and to bring socialism. It's never really about equality among people, it's about bringing equality of outcomes. Kaepernick is not a good QB, but he is a hammer in search of a nail.

Play nice...and keep kneeling for the flag. :wink:

Colin Kaepernick protesting cops but loving him some Che Guevera who quite literally massacred his own people (but just the ones who didn't comply).

Please give one example of any racism in these responses.

Lots of misspellings of "Kaeperpick," going on in this thread.

What an astoundingly stupid idea. I mean in a history of mankind type of stupid idea. Some posters never fail to fail. Sad.

This. ^^^

And in one short paragraph you brought in all of the racists so they could show how racist they are and continue to pretend their not. If they tell you it enough it must be true, right?

But back to the topic I’d say no just based on how long he’s been out of the game.

But I have no issues with what he did and the focus he brought to systemic racism in the United States.

A protest intended to address racism, especially a non-violent protest...is nowhere near misguided. Even if you don't agree with the premise.

Kaepernick would not be the first QB to be out of the league for a couple of years, and then come in as a backup. In fact that is basically Taylor Heincke's story.

Colin's career was no worse than Geno's. All anyone is arguing for is a tryout, nothing more. It's really not that complicated.

The subject matter for the protest wasnt misguided, it was the avenue in which he decided to execute it through. If a person wanted to really make a difference, why go about it in a way that offends so many? Thats what you fail to see.

Why bother giving Keapernick a tryout when he has already exhibited the mindset that he wont accept anything other than a starting position and he will only tryout on his terms. Its time to forget about Kaepernick. He will never be on another NFL roster again because he's toxic.

Why isn't it the time or place?

If a guy wants to take a knee...what's the problem? Not hold a sign up, not yell in the middle of the anthem..but just take a knee. Why would that be offensive?

Because its offensive to the people that fought and died for obtaining those rights. Again, its not the message, its the method. I dont know how or why people struggle to see that.

 

[cymatica]

How about the next time the stadium announcer asks for a moment of silence for someone who passed, we start shouting "end racism!". If that offends you, then you must be racist.

No its not... Its offensive when people don't use the rights that we fought for... I served and I'm not offended in any way... let the man make a statement its his constitutional right regardless if you agree with it or not.

Anyone who was offended by Kaepernicks protest is 1) a snowflake, and 2) doesn't understand that the soldiers that died for this country, died for his right to do what he did.

With that said, Kaepernick is done, I would have been all for bringing him in 5 years ago.

Personally, my problem with athletes kneeling for the National Anthem has always been with the sporting organizations, not the athletes. If the organizations aren't going to have a code of conduct in place for how their employees should treat the National Anthem, then they should simply remove it from their ceremony. Don't feign patriotism and then not expect your employees to honor it while they are on your time.

This is particularly true for me when applying it to national teams. If you can't stand for the National Anthem because you have issues with the state of your country then your protest should start with not participating on the team. Honoring the national anthem during ceremonies related to competition should be an absolute requirement for participating on a national team.

However somebody wants to protest on their own time is up to them, as long as it isn't illegal or infringing on the rights of others.

As far as Kaepernick not getting a job in the NFL, this was a combination of the drama, his skill level, and his expectations for compensation. There were dozens of players who continued to kneel for the anthem and keep their jobs. Kaep had his opportunities but over-estimated his position on the hot vs crazy scale (Barney Stinson reference.)

Your in the minority. If the majority of people didnt view it as an offensive act, we wouldnt be having this discussion.

I'm sure those soldiers wouldnt be jumping up and down from a show of complete disregard for patriotism.

We don't agree on much but we agree on this. I served too. And his right to do what he did was one of things I fought for.

That said I don't want him because I don't think he is a good qb
