Some deposition transcripts got out. There are at least 14 owners under oath saying that the anthem protests are why they refuse to sign Kaepernick or Reed including Jerry Jones specifically mentioning that Trump called and talked to him about it. At least half the coaches in the league feel he's a starting QB being held out by management.

Is Kaepernick’s collusion suit something that can go thru US court appeals? I’m curious if this can go all the way to SCOTUS & watch Gorsuch cast the deciding vote in favor of the owners.

We already knew this. It doesn't prove collusion. Is there a smoking gun of the owners collaborating to keep him out? That's what Kaep needs.

They're dumb as hell and believe themselves to be wholly invincible so they probably did literally hold a big roundtable meeting where they all agreed that what they were doing was collusion and that Trump called them all to encourage it

99 % caffeine free is 99 % not my kinda thing
As I understand it, collusion would require that at least a couple of NFL owners agreed not to hire Kaepernick and then shook on it. It doesn't count if all of them just independently decided that pissing off Trump and the "are troops" crowd isn't worth it. The political meddling angle might have legs in theory, but given all Trump has survived so far, I doubt this will be his downfall.

It's a civil suit that I highly doubt will make it there.

But given this timeline.

Here's something fun, FO went through and took a look at how many sacks each team took / got that weren't due to pressure, so the QB falling over, failed scrambles or long coverage sacks.

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/extra-points/2018/which-defenses-depended-non-pressure-sacks-2017

It's pretty funny to see the Tyrod effect, and also the holy poo poo was Tampa's D bad effect. Washington also is weird for basically never getting those sacks, while Cousins also wouldn't take them.

Lmao local goon hates empathy

Not a perfect statement by any means but lmao at least the guy is trying to start some discourse. I would prefer he names the bias as racism but 64 year old white man is doing some introspection and asking for empathy for others.

Which i guess to some is a bridge too far

Oh come on dude. Empathy is fantastic but that statement is bizarre and I don't really see how it actually helps anyone.

What does this mean? What is this? Is this about anthem protests somehow? Is this a multi-level marketing scam? Is Pete starting a cult? Am I going to need to get audited by a P-meter in order to progress to higher Operating Petan levels?

Most likely, this is just another manifestation of Executive Brain, the disease that eventually comes for anyone who’s told they’re a genius for too long and decide that they are objectively brilliant, rather than any of the things they’ve done, therefore everything they do must be brilliant so here’s 500 words on a concept I just made up that I’m going to capitalize but not actually define.

If there’s savvy here it’s in carefully constructing a statement that’s physically incapable of saying anything that might antagonize anyone. “These challenging times.” “Our leaders.” “Discord and division.” Like all coachspeak, it comes apart completely when you actually try to puzzle meaning from it.

Empathy is good! The world would be better if people were more empathetic. I still don’t understand how A New Empathy is any better than regular old empathy. Or what it is. Maybe this is all just a defense of enforced monogamy.
