Personally, I think a conflict where one side is all 'Nah, I disagree with you so you aren't allowed to have free speech' is just the sort of new thing this country needed to get back on track. Can't wait to see more random bloggers and old brain damaged football players tell me just which cell in Guantanamo Kaep belongs in

Lmao no one credible is saying he isn't allowed to have free speech. They're just disagreeing with his dumb way of voicing it

No one is talking about 'credible' people in this thread, no, but they're still stupid.

I actually disagree with a lot of his argument! I'm an evil arch-conservative myself! But he has every right to sit down during a stupid song and the many sports people quoted in this thread suggesting otherwise are complete buffoons.

Further, I was making a joke that both sides of our political spectrum tend to turn to such 'oh, you can't say/do/not do that' arguments every time someone disagrees with them on nearly any issue.

Did he run much play action? I know he can do read-option, which you have to imagine would work out as well as that can with AP, but I'd think with Teddy injured they'd want to switch from heavy shotgun sets to just as much play action as humanly possible.

Why are the 49ers paying a bad backup so much money? I guess they have to reach the floor salary somehow. I support his ability to make an rear end of himself, I wish he were smart enough to help the cause rather then just make more people mad. He pretty much killed any trade no team is going to want a Tebow media poo poo storm QB. Think of poor Jeb.

he's not even protesting though, i said it before it's almost the laziest thing he could do next to a facebook post

it's more likely he is upset with his situation in san francisco and wants to go to another team so he decided to make a spectacle of himself by latching onto this issue

what has he actually done to further the cause of police violence against blacks? nothing, it's just a low level troll to get himself exposure

Colin Kaepernick gives a twenty minute long interview laying out exactly why he's doing what he's doing, the people he's worked with and what he hopes to accomplish.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2651681-mike-freemans-10-point-stance-kaepernick-anger-intense-in-nfl-front-offices

quote:

Across NFL front offices, there are team officials who are not offended, and even embrace, the controversial position of Colin Kaepernick. They are out there. Statistically, they have to be. But they are keeping a low profile.

They seem to be far outnumbered by the members of NFL front offices who despise him. Truly, truly hate him.

"I don't want him anywhere near my team," one front office executive said. "He's a traitor."

A traitor?

He wasn't alone in the anger directed toward Kaepernick. In interviews with seven team executives, each said he didn't want Kaepernick on his team. This is far from scientific, but I believe this is likely the feeling among many front office executives. Not all. But many.

All seven estimated 90 to 95 percent of NFL front offices felt the same way they did. One executive said he hasn't seen this much collective dislike among front office members regarding a player since Rae Carruth. Remember Rae Carruth? He's still in prison for the plot to murder his pregnant girlfriend.

Personally, I think the dislike of Kaepernick is inappropriate and un-American. I find it ironic that citizens who live in a country whose existence is based on dissent criticize someone who expresses dissent.

But in NFL front offices, the feeling is very different.

"He has no respect for our country," one team executive said. "F--k that guy."

Another said that if an owner asked him to sign Kaepernick, he would consider resigning, rather than do it.

There could be some executives who have no issue with Kaepernick, but I doubt there are many. Each executive said he believes Kaepernick will likely get released by the 49ers�and never play in the NFL again.

That is one of the main themes here. Like these executives, I feel we won't ever see Kaepernick play for another NFL team. There is precedent for this. Chris Kluwe, a former Vikings kicker, said on CNN this week he believes he was banned from the NFL for expressing his views on gay rights.

When challenged that Kaepernick didn't break a law, or an NFL rule, and that it's his right to sit during the anthem, the response, consistently, was that it's also a team's right to not sign him. And to also dislike him.

Why? It seems the executives feel this way because they believe Kaepernick to be un-American. They also don't believe he appreciates what he has. Many of them pointed to Kaepernick's salary and said he would never make that kind of money if not for football.

"In my career, I have never seen a guy so hated by front office guys as Kaepernick," one general manager said.

This is a league that has signed domestic abusers, accused murderers, players who killed another person while driving drunk and dudes who park in handicap spaces. But Kaepernick is the most hated person he's ever seen? A non-violent protest? Really?

Yes, apparently, really.

One last thing on Kaepernick from these team officials: They think it's only a matter of time before the 49ers release him because of external pressure. Not because Kaepernick isn't close to the player he was, but because, to the 49ers, he's become radioactive.

Their belief is that the team will wait a bit, maybe a week, for the controversy to quiet (a bit�it's only going to quiet so much in a week) and then release him.

I've heard from people close to Kaepernick that he fully expected to be released by the 49ers once everyone became aware of his actions, and he also knew his football career would be in jeopardy. I've also been told Kaepernick would then dedicate his life to one of social activism.

But hey you know, Kaepernick just wants ~* exposure *~ you guys.
