Thread:Comments:US National Football League to fine teams if athletes kneel during national anthem/Why is Colin Kaepernick still relevant?

Kaepernick got a sweet multi-million dollar, multi-year deal out of the draft to play with a ball! He consistently performed poorly at doing his job, playing with a ball. Then he wakes up one day feeling he is untouchable because of a contract to play with a ball, and make a political statement under the name of the company that hired him. Then the statement becomes a detriment to the company that hired him to play with a ball. That is like an NSA employee dumping classified information onto the internet and calls it patriotic - O' wait we have one of those guys - Snowden. The guy that ran off to Russia like a coward where he traded NSA secrets for FSB protection.

If you want to make a statement, political or whatever, do not do it under your company's letterhead which becomes detrimental to your employer. Maybe a few good NFL hits to Kaepernick's head caused him to make poor decisions like Arron Hernandez. Kaepernick has not played with a ball professionally for months, and somehow he thinks it is collusion - no it is because you do a poor job playing with a ball and became a detriment to the company. As I see it, Kaepernick is about as cowardly as Snowden. They are selfrichus individuals that when confronted with the gravity of their actions they run for cover. Kaepernick and Snowden should be men, take responsibility for their actions.
