In reply to the discussion: if the NFL owners were sincere (1%ers all) then Colin Kaepernick [View all]FLPanhandle
(7,107 posts)19. Conservatives should love Colin Kaepernick
He helped elect Trump.

"In the run-up to the 2016 election, Kaepernick repeatedly made it clear he didn't approve of either President-elect Donald Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. On Election Day, Kaepernick said he would not be voting and followed through on that promise.
On Wednesday, Kaepernick told Arizona reporters on a conference call that it "didn't matter" who won the election because neither candidate was a good choice."

Fuck Colin. He not only didn't vote but was public about why others shouldn't vote too. He is no better than a Trump voter.

Yep. Some team owner better offer him a job tout suite, or it all looks phony.

Difficult topic and I don't think it goes hand in hand with the issue being discussed.

Is he athletic enough to be an NFL Quarterback? Yes. But his QB style is a bit atypical.
