Colin, if you are reading this.....I hope you find inner peace and can continue being a hero to all of us here on the hoop....

$60-$80 million buys a lot of legal beagles....

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 that's my point. His game wasn't good enough. If it was, they'd overlook his kneeling for a song.

That's what I am thinking. Same for what TLF said.

The NFL would not have caved in if there wasn't some pretty damning evidence that supported Kap's position.

It's not how they have done business during the Goodell Era.

Or they didn't want to spend a ton of time in courtrooms for the next year or longer and figured the amount he wanted was a pimple to 32 billionaires (or near billionaires).

Yup, but the players don’t have that kind of money. The players would get cleaned out by their own lawyers long before the case got a judgement in court and they could/would likely lose. Getting back lawyer fees probably felt like a win, certainly a relief. Just saw top lawyers get $2000.00 a hour for these kind of cases. One week of work ( 40 hours) is $80,000 plus cost of miscellaneous things that can be expensive as heck.

If the NFL had a pat hand they would not have settled.

I absolutely agree and said the same thing - but you know he was playing the race card in his own way

Happens all the time Hank. Cheaper to buy off these nuisance cases then to pay the lawyers to win it.

I agree - My thought is that both sides had something to lose, something to hide and every reason to settle and seal the agreement from the public

So this was just a nuisance case??? I don't believe it was.

Course you don’t, but I’m guessing the NFL believes it is.

 

[DefCONNOne]

NFL WOULD NEVER settle if they thought they would win.

I could say the same thing about your hero Kap. He'd NEVER settle if he thought he would win.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I'm also guessing this settlement was not what they wanted.

But we will never know......

 

[DefCONNOne]

But the player would? You know the only winners with these lawsuits are the lawyers, these cases drag on for years with the lawyers charging what, $500 or $1000 per hour ?

Damn! Gotta be quicker on the draw 'round these parts.

I hope you're being sarcastic with this post. Because this is my retort if it's not...

If your hero Kap had a pat hand he wouldn't have sttled.

Very sarcastic.....He's making extortion great again......

 

[redseat]

Heard he and Jessie Smollett are best friends......

 

[Hank Kingsley]

If your hero Kap had a pat hand he wouldn't have sttled.

I already said he likely didn't have the smoking gun.

But he may well have had something embarrassing the NFL didn't want to be common knowledge.

And for the record, I'd much rather have Kaepernick as my here than your chimp the Great Pumpkin.....

My hero at least has principles.

Piece of Shit US has the market cornered on that front.
