I thought the cartoon said it all. It's old phrase, "Money Talks and BS Walks", he was all in until he found the pot of gold.
If Kaepernick wanted to really get back in the NFL, he could be playing right now in the AAF. They offered him a position on a team, and his answer was, I want $20 million to play. These guys are getting about $100,000 and most are very happy to be out there showing what they got and hoping for another shot in the NFL. I'm watching the AAF right now, I've seen every game, I'm sure all the NFL teams have scouts watching the games as well.
Josh Woodrum, who was Joe Flacco's backup for a couple of years, is out there playing for Salt Lake City. He was injured in the first game, but he's getting experience and trying to get back on an NFL roster.
Why are players kneeling during the playing of our National Anthem?
NFL players kneel during the national anthem as a way to protest police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.
What players don't seem to understand is the games are played for our amusement, it's entertainment. Essentially it's a form of escape from day to day life in mostly big cities where these games are played. The owners depend on fans buying tickets, watching the games on TV, buying team merchandise. If a fan becomes disenchanted with this group of entertainers, what would they do, they could boycott, quit watching, quit going to the games.
Essentially Kaepernick and others like him are trying to do it kill the golden goose that feeds them. The owners, just like any other business owner, will not hire employees that create trouble. They call it collusion, I call it good business sense to not hire these people. Also, next time Kaepernick or his friends face trouble and call for police, they'll be glad they came. In their eyes, police are no good until you need one.
