Kapernick Saga Over?

[True Lakers Fan]

He’s being black balled let him play

Here is the thing - If you are team owner - you don't need or want to hear his crap just when a game is starting, and there are far more effective approaches to battling discrimination, and the abuse cycle then kneeling in the middle of a freaking football field. The owners didn't want him, but the would have lost fans, endorsements and $$$$$. In short it was bad for business and while football is entertainment to us - it is a business and anything that hurts an owner's business is going to be stopped. Good bye Colin and good riddance

I agree, my post was sarcasm

Care to chime in @Lightyear49er

I saw it suggested somewhere the AAF might be a good place for him.

No big NFL starter salary, of course, but he's not getting that anyway.

He wants 20 mill for AAF

Maybe, but if Cam Newton took a knee and had an option he declined you don't think he'd get signed as soon as it was allowed?

I think the difference would be which player is still capable of selling tickets. Like I said before - it is a business. My comparison would be Kobe Bryant - accused of r*pe, but wasn't drummed out - that's because he is game was that good. We have to be realistic here - Colin wasn't that good any more - hence the drama to cover up his inadequacies as a man

and Kobe bought off his wife as well.. Don't forget that one.....

But yes.. Your point makes sense however

"allegedly"

There's been no evidence of this

Just more people trying to say bad things about Kaep to keep him down

That is not what others state.

No evidence of him being blackballed either that’s the whole point of most arguments. No evidence.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Of course not - You don't think they are going to admit the truth do you? Look I think Colin was a troublemaker and got what he deserved, but I am not blindly following the NFL either - I understand it's a business and they have issues with hypocrisy - In spite of that, I still would like to see the Patriots get the living shit beat out of them though

Yeah - I remember Kobe bought her some really expensive diamonds - but he had the money - He had no problems with that

You don't need to see the evidence to form an opinion. Most of the time if I see a two legged bird walking down by a lake that looks like a duck and quacking like a duck - I am going to believe he is a duck and most likely will consider him to be delicious

Not saying he didn't have the money... But the reason it wasn't as big of a deal was because he shut her up by buying that monstrosity!

Of course he did. Here is how I figure it happened

He spoke to her ahead of time, invited her to his room and she knew he wanted sex. All of that is a matter of records
When they started having sex, however she had never experienced a man with something that large and it hurt. Being in pain, she told him to stop and he didn't. I think many men would just keep on going. Kobe should have stopped, and I think what he did was r*pe because if you put your hands on anyone after they say no - that is an assault.

Now where Kobe went wrong was when the Colorado Police called him and asked him to come back. Kobe should have said: "No I am not coming back tonight. I am going home, taking a shower, washing my clothes and going to bed and will deal with this tomorrow after you tell me what this is about. Then he should have lawyered up and that would have ended the entire fiasco.

What I find most peculiar is that the NFL was willing to settle.

When you look at Bountygate and Deflategate, the NFL taking this route with Kap is definitely out of character for them.

Not sure it means anything but just an observation.

So make himself look even more guilty by taking a shower? He probably thought it would be better if he just went to the police and him being who he was they wouldn't take it any further
