Jerry, Kraft, Mc Nair being deposed about Kaepernick

[stilltheguru88]

you a Kap dude? lovely, I kneel to you

I’m not a Kaep fan. I just despise people like you. There’s a middle ground simpletons can’t grasp

 

[Kevinicus]

I thought the same thing, then I learned the way he speaks is due to hearing issues he was either born with or came about when he was a child.

It wasn't how he spoke, it was what he said.

 

[DasTex]

I’m pretty impartial on this whole issue but I do have a question... Does anyone know what his salary requirements are?

Originally I thought he wanted to start, and not be a back up. Rumors were he's been offered a backup job and turned in down. Titans I think

Not sure if thats correct or not.

 

[Sarge]

I'm really getting sick of all of this bull****.

Not sure if thats correct or not.

naw the titans are actually why he started his collusion case. After Mariota got hurt, his reps reached out to do a workout, and they declined, then signed brandon weeden. If being passed over for a ginger isn't collusion, i dont know what is lol

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The one thing that can be proven is that Kaep was trash last season and it's no surprise teams would pass up on that along with the accompanying drama and noise.

Compared to the top 10 or 15 QBs sure. Compared to the other 60 in the NFL? No way.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Well if his gf hadn’t basically called the owner of the Ravens a slave owner and Ray Lewis his slave, he’d be employed right now.

He has no one to blame but himself and his woman.

That's what they want you to believe......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

IMO all it's shown is that most people are sheep.

Is that what you want to call it lol? If you agree with someone's social stance that makes you a sheep?

 

[TWOK11]

Is that what you want to call it lol? If you agree with someone's social stance that makes you a sheep?

No, but if you do something just because others do it you are.

Again, even some kneeling players have been unable to articulate what they're protesting.

 

[Fletch]

I'm curious what they expect to find in these emails, texts, and phone calls. I seriously doubt that any NFL personnel would discuss possible player signings or things of that nature with opposing teams.

Why would Jerry discuss any FA with another owner/gm? That would be tipping our hand as tgo what we're doing with our roster. I don't see it happening, unless it's a possible trade their discussing.

Now if they find out owners and GMs were telling each other not to sign Kap then I hope they get caught and Kap wins his lawsuit. But I don't see that happening.

One side note, if Dak went down with an injury I'd feel much better with Kap coming to play then any QB we have. I feel he'd be a good backup here with our offensive line and his ability to extend plays. And he's a veteran who has won games before. I could careless about baggage he may bring as far as media attention. As long as he's not doing anything illegal or physically hurting anyone then my priority is to win games.

Yeah, bring in Kap when has no clue running our playbook, and has sucked for quite some time now. Cooper Rush is our guy, and that makes me happy.

 

[BrassCowboy]

to a judge it may look like collusion, but a reasonable person would see that each no team would want the headache PR on their team. Doesn't take a genius. Now like I said at first, our court system will most likely see it at face value and probably reward him, but not based on facts

 

[gmoney112]

I'm all for billionaires suffering consequences of their actions, like you know, normal people.

It's a rarity indeed.

 

[cowboy_ron]

So, this idiot up and quits a multimillion dollar per year gig with the 49ers thinking there was going to be a long line of teams wanting to sign him, when that blows up in his face he wants the court system to force another team to sign him? Good lord

 

[canters]

That's funny. Listening to some of his press conferences is when I determined he was stupid.

His Girlfriend has a lot of control over him, as women in general do over men. She is very attractive.

 

[Sage3030]

That's what they want you to believe......

Believe Ray Lewis or the guy who doesn’t get his own irony...... I’ll go with Ray.

 

[Lutonio]

I have a hard time believing collusion. Do I think some teams don't want him specifically because of his protest? Yes. Do I think that means a league wide conspiracy? I can't see that. That requires 32 teams to cooperate, and the drive for wins is so high someone would surely sign him the moment they felt it would equate to more wins.

And just indicating his TD/INT ratio isn't enough. A lot of those TDs came in garbage time after he failed to captain an effective offense. Here are some other 2016 stats:

59.2 Completion %
190 yards per game
5.54 yards per attempt

Putting aside the social issues, he hasn't played well in a long time. You pray that your starters don't get wrapped up in controversy then try your best to manage if they do. However, you never tolerate it with a back up.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Believe Ray Lewis or the guy who doesn’t get his own irony...... I’ll go with Ray.

You really believe that a meme photo is why Kap isn't a Raven lol? Ok....let's pretend like that was the case....so what about the other 16 teams without qbs? What's their excuse? Don't let these guys pull wool over your eyes....its plain as day what's going on.

No, but if you do something just because others do it you are.

Again, even some kneeling players have been unable to articulate what they're protesting.

Most of the guys i've seen protesting have verbally stated very clearly what they are protesting. I think this is more of a assumption on your part.

And if they are sheep? I can think of worse things to be. We need more sheep in this country if that's the case.

 

[TWOK11]

It's a combination of both. Keap is just average enough that teams aren't willing to put up with his controversy. If he was even as good as Dak he'd have been signed in 8 seconds.

His protest is effecting him, but he's also just not that good and because of that the circus outweighs the benefits.

Again, those who say it's ONLY because of the protest must also argue nobody would sign Deshaun Watson or Dak Prescott if they kneeled, an absurd proposition.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

First of all, we've seen that many of the athletes aren't even entirely sure what they're protesting. Some are doing it just because others are.

Name them. And provide evidence that they don’t know what they’re protesting for.

Beyond that, every movement has those that are along for solidarity or with varying levels of understanding.

It’s a misnomer to think identifying one (or some) defines the overall cause.

Second, Rosa Parks protested blacks being forced to the back of the bus by NOT MOVING TO THE BACK OF THE BUS. Her protest both made sense in the context of the activity she was protesting and necessitated change. There was NO scenario in which her actions wouldn't result in public discourse about the topic. Either they allowed her to claim a seat meant for a white person, in which white people would have been outraged and in an uproar, or as we saw she was removed and arrested and blacks were outraged and in an uproar. In either case, people are talking directly about the issue and the action will force the public to acknowledge it.

The notion that a protest has to have direct applicability to the thing being protested about is absolute and utter nonsense.

The reality is Kapernick’s actions has created public conversation. Whether you want to try to dismiss it or acknowledge it is of no consequence.

Colin Kaepernick, a man raised by affluent white parents in an affluent white suburb and has little personal insight into the plight of the impoverished black Americans most often being shot by police, knelt during a football game to protest people being killed. And we're talking endlessly not about the issue he's protesting, polls have shown most can't even define his cause, but about respecting America and NFL collusion.

That right there shows your card. If you think for one second his family’s income level is somehow related with his personal experience as a minority in this country, you’re simply misinformed. The reality is as a minority you are prejudged by the color of your skin. To have to explain this equal parts hilarious and saddening.

If you can't understand the fundamental difference in the above scenarios, I cannot help you understand. I can't teach a blind man the difference between blue and green.

Lol, hilarity.

 

[xwalker]

People need a reason to justify why people don't like them.

That are lot of unlikable losers that claim racism is the reason people don't like them.

In reality when people don't like you then they will use anything to cut you down. If you're fat, have a big nose or are of a difflerent race then they'll call you names based on those attributes.

It's much easier to believe people are racist than to accept that you are just not a very likeable person and people therefore call you names for the fun of it.

It's the reason unlikable people like Kaepernick moan about racism while likeable people like Darren Woodson tend to avoid the subject.
