If you think about it, to some people in this country (Cuban refugees) Kaepernick's wearing of a Fidel Castro shirt is equatable to the guys who are marching around carrying Nazi and Confederate flags. To them, Castro was the embodiment of terror, torture, tyranny, slavery, despotism, hatred, bigotry, and mass murder.
Do you think he had any insight to that fact?

Probably as much insight as his reading defenses ability.

It is a matter of talent. Kaepernick is backup talent who thiinks he is better than he is. It is a football matter.
I mean, people think that Tim Tebow was given a raw deal because he was a Christiian, and that the NFL didn't want a Christian activist in the league . It is horseshit on both accounts. It is talent...and the willingness to recognize where you are talentwise.
Do you think Kaep can hit a curvebal?
Don't give a shit. He sucks and he's a team cancer when he's not showing off for Spike Lee.It is a matter of talent. Kaepernick is backup talent who thiinks he is better than he is. It is a football matter.

His politics are distasteful but I don't think that you legally keep him from a job. It's just that I don't want him. Not in Cleveland. Your mileage May differ.
On the other hand I wonder how many people would still support Joe Thomas if he turned out to be a Klan member?

Regardless Tour do we really want to see in the NFL boycotts or threatening boycotts over things like this? Where would it all end?
Yes I'm sure everyone on "the left" will boycott the NFL just like everyone on "the right" boycotts a company whenever they acknowledge gay people in an ad.

Yep...To every ACTION there is a REACTION. That's just what happens in real life.
I welcome Kaepernick & his supporters to reality. Now it's time to grow up, live with the reaction, & learn from it.
When & where I grew up, we didn't have any groups bailing us out of consequences....We HANDLED them ourselves (as Isaiah Crowell did).
BTW, Mr. Griggs can kiss this Vietnam Vet's ass! I would hope any boycott(s) and/or tailgates would only include their supporters & not interfere with others rights to attend & enjoy the game(s) & their tailgates.
Our National Anthem & Flag represent our COUNTRY that afforded Kaepernick all the opportunites & freedoms he has had. Personally, I am highly offended he chose the playing of MY National Anthem as his stage & that's MY right.

It was 100% Kaepernick's right to kneel and protest the national anthem. Zero issue with him doing what he felt was right.
It is 100% any and every team's right NOT to invite that protest and controversy by hiring Kaepernick. Zero issue with him not being in the NFL.

What percentage would you put on owners banding together and then putting pressure on other owners to not sign Kaep... a/k/a "blackballing".

Sure that is possible but I don't think that is the case. Owners are out to win football games and make money. What does Kaepernick bring to the table? He brings the baggage of being a distraction to a team which no team wants. Does his talent level outweigh the negative attention and distraction that he would bring? I don't think so. And I believe that is why he is unemployed.

Hello! Wake up. I said it was a football matter. If Kaepernick were a member of Al Shabab, and could play like Joe Thomas...someone would sign him likely.
(and you contradicted yourself...you said you don't want him....apparently for his politics...which means that you do indeed give a shit...one way or the other).

I personally think the % of owners "banding together to blackball him" is 0%. That said, owners individually and NOT in concert may have said: "talent not worth the distraction". But...now...what about the half dozen or more other guys that have done the same thing?

Funny, where was your outrage last year at the "right" when they boycotted the NFL. Please stop with the whole left versus right narrative. You make us dumber as a nation.

And would someone please point out to me the other job where you legally have to stand for the national anthem before you start work, outside of North Korea.

The NBA and US soccer teams have rules requiring players stand during the anthem. If you want to protest there are better ways to protest than to offend others who respect the flag and what it stands for.

Maybe we should just do away with playing the national anthem before games. Not sure why it is felt to be a necessary thing to do. If you think about it. If you go to a movie, a play, a concert a show....any other sort of entertainment event, they don't play the national anthem.
Just curious, and interesting.

Can you imagine if any small business is forced to hire an employee who is a distraction to the business just to avoid boycotts and protests.

Of course I can. I'd wager in some situations it would be just fine with a lot of folks.
Penitence goes a long way.
Sincerity is the most important thing in life. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

Like I said on top of the fact that he's a distasteful human being he sucks and he was a team cancer in San Francisco and we don't need him here. And he turned down money that would have been equal to his talent. Fuck him.

Excerpt
A large group of Browns players knelt behind the team's bench in a circle during the national anthem prior to the team's preseason game against the Giants on Monday.
Linebacker Jamie Collins, 2017 first-round pick Jabrill Peppers and wide receivers Kenny Britt and Ricardo Louis were among the players who knelt during the national anthem.
