Again you guys never read past the click bait headlines. Are you one of the lazy wealth fare people that are buying Nikes?

Much of the league’s revenue is contractually obligated, so owners and others are talking not necessarily about a revenue drop, but rather how to manage a crisis that could threaten future business.

Was making too much money to keep on the roster. Got cut and nobody wanted to pick up his huge contract for a second or third string player.

Gee none of the other kneeling  cry babies who could actually play the game, were blackballed.

And if you were an NFL GM which of the starting quarterbacks in the league would you replace with Kaepernick? Remember he refused to be a backup. Tick tick tick

Kap did play, until he didn't have a chance to. 

I'm not saying owners weren't in their right to not want the media circus (as long as there wasn't collusion).

Blake Bortles would be the first to come to mind

There have been polls, and I've dug into all of them that get posted here. Most all are flawed in some way (shocker). And the decline of almost every other sport never comes up. 

And Kap was 100% good enough to play in the NFL still. Cody Kessler started games. But owners felt he came with too much of a distraction.

What polls said?? Well damn that really proves that the NFL was hurt. Oh wait. Only fucking idiot would think that proves the NFL was hurt. Yeah, only welfare people buy Nikes. What a fucking moron. Sorry you are butt hurt about him kneeling and your crying had no affect on Nike or the NFL.

Again you stooge who pays big money for designer sneakers? Tick tick tick tick tick

wake up call.

Kleptofreak didn't see the field well, and was a lazy freak who wanted to be a victim and get a giant welfare lawsuit win.

If he was better than baker? Yes absolutely. But he isnt. If he was tho, he could re enact an episode of the stooges during the anthem for all i care. If baker starts standing on his head during the anthem next yr pls beleive i will give no fuks if he thinks that'll help him

 he was offered money to be a back up and refused. He might actually be better than somebody else's third-string quarterback, who knows? But not enough better to put up with the bullshit. Even you are stupid enough to think that some NFL team wouldn't sign him if they thought that he was better than their starting quarterback and could take the team to the playoffs, or are you?

 he's just playing you liberals for suckers.

You are assertion that the NFL was hurt by all the whining about the kneeing. Sorry I don't agree.

 then you're a fool. There have been plenty of surveys to prove it and no it's not the only reason. Bad officiating and poor play come into it.

All sports ratings have been declining over the past 10 years. How is that NFL boycott going? Nike sales down?

 two different demographics of consumers. People like you who think that it's hip to disrespect the country will more likely buy Nike shoes. And who spends a bigger percentage of their welfare check on expensive shoes?

Nike stock down? The kneeling has done what he wanted, got some attention and money for his cause. (no, got your made cause)

 apples and oranges.

He was never really that good and isn't worth the trouble. So, no I wouldn't want him on the Browns.

I know that is not during the anthem but halftime shows are supposed to be for entertainment not a platform for social justice warriors. Keep it out. In this case the whole Kaepernick protest is about condemning police officers and that video is about police officers having targets on their back because of this stuff not only the rhetoric of black lives matter "pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon", the lies at Ferguson "hands up don't shoot" and uneducated foolish people like Kaepernick who wears a murdering dictators tee shirt (Castro) like Castro is some kind of hero and socks that degrade police officers as pigs. Now good cops just trying to do their jobs have targets on their backs. I don't agree with the protest. Who is taking a knee for all the good officers who have been killed or wounded in the line of duty? What about their families?

Those cops served a warrant on a drug house, they werent shot just cause they cops. They were shot by criminals trying to.get away. This is a dynamic as old as time. The cops shot ambush style sitting in their cars, those police were shot cause tbey were cops. Why is this simple baseline logic so hard for u to.follow?

I'm not sure of you're just incapable of getting it, or you're willingly choosing not to get it. I'm not sure how many times it's been covered here...

I imagine that's why you all want to go back to the 50s. So much simpler back then. ....

What I'm not sure of is what there is to misunderstand here? Unless we've gone off a side road it's basically Roger Waters encouraging Maroon 5 to protest at their Super Bowl appearance. What is there beyond that?

It's "not" during the Anthem. You understand what the word "not" means right OBF? I have no idea why ur posting a story of police officers shot in the act of serving a warrant, which happens all the time and has nothing to do with the National Anthem nor anything Kaepernick has issues with. "NOT" means negatory. It means it isn't happening. Clear?
