    The NFL ratings are down but they're still King. Can't say the same about the failing Red Star.

    More flying monkey deplorable-speak. The goalposts have clearly moved to the far right lunatic fringe.

    Ask the huddled masses, the vanishing middle class, and sustainable life on Planet Earth: how's that right wing shit working out for everyone and everything, sunshine?

    I'd love to see people leave their political opinions out of the sports forums. Go to sociables with that garbage.

    I'm sure the Star's editorial position has nothing to do with the article that was written.

    He's not being blackballed by the NFL. He'd be on a team if he was willing to sign for what he's actually worth right now.

    And you know precisely how much he's asking for? Josh McCowan, Tom Savage, and Mike Glennon are all starting QB's today, and he is sitting on the sidelines waiting for an offer. I would say he is definitely being blackballed.

    Agreed, Kaepernick's track record is light years ahead of those other QB's and he continues to have no interest?
    That's the NFL's way unfortunately!

    Colin Kaepernick had his trip to workout with the Seattle Seahawks postponed today because he refused to stop kneeling during the American national anthem. He's not being blackballed?

    The Seahawks have signed QB Stephen Morris the day after they cancelled a Kaepernick workout. Since 2014, Morris has been on the PR of the Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Washington without ever having been considered good enough to play in a game. There's a great explanation of the NFL agreement to the right to protest that it agreed to in 2009 and since renewed and what this means for Kaepernick's collusion lawsuit alleging that the NFL colluded to deny him work in the video accompanying the article below.
    Another player, Eric Reid who also kneeled in protest, also has been unable to get a contract despite being a skilled safety.

    The Seahawks, who passed on Colin Kaepernick after he wouldn’t promise to not kneel for the national anthem, signed Stephen Morris according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and others. Unless you’re a big University of Miami (Fla.) football fan you might not be familiar with Morris, and for good reason. Morris has been bouncing around the NFL since 2014 and has never appeared in a game. Morris regular-season appearances: Zero. Kaepernick Super Bowl starts: One.
    The Seahawks needed a backup after cutting Trevone Boykin over a domestic violence incident. Before the domestic violence accusation, Boykin was with the Seahawks two seasons despite separate arrests on drug charges and resisting arrest after a bar fight that got him suspended from TCU’s bowl game. Kaepernick has no known arrests. ...

    Even though the Seahawks will surely bring in another quarterback after Morris, it’s still another example of quarterbacks with far fewer credentials than Kaepernick being signed while Kaepernick waits for another job. Safety Eric Reid, who kneeled with Kaepernick and has had one known free-agent visit this offseason (which now looks like a publicity stunt by the Bengals, whose owner made the visit about telling Reid he wouldn’t be allowed to kneel), waits as well. It’s easy to see why NFL players would be bothered by this. The hypocrisy is in plain view.

    But the bottom line is Kaepernick continues to wait. Morris is far from the first quarterback with a lesser résumé than Kaepernick to be signed. He won’t be the last, either.

    Conor Orr discusses the double-talk that is typical of the NFL when it comes to Kaepernick.
    The relief in Thursday’s ESPN report that the Seahawks postponed a visit with free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick (and subsequently signed a QB who has never played a down in the NFL) because he refused to guarantee he’d stand for the national anthem in 2018 is that we might be able to finally drop the pretenses.
    We have routinely played interview footsie with important people in charge, asking them questions about issues we kind-of, sort-of know how they feel about already. We’ve allowed these canned responses to populate the air we breathe and reaffirm our beliefs regarding the limitations that should be placed on a player’s free speech in the workplace—if at all. So many coaches, general managers and owners were able to win for so long because the smart ones talked out of both sides of their mouth, leaving just enough birdseed for the Anthem Standers in one hand and Liberal America in the other.

    Maybe that’s about to change. This is the second report in one week about a player being asked to spell out his plan regarding the anthem before signing with an NFL team. Eric Reid, one of Kaepernick’s original partners and an outspoken ally, remains unsigned despite being one of the best free agents at his position. If this were a year ago, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine Reid just sinking into the same quicksand that Kaepernick did—contempt with, or fear of his viewpoints disguised as banal, semi-negative assessments of talent, leading to an eventual, unspoken blackballing about which we can all feel better. Because why risk a business hit that would reveal yourself to the world? ...

    Let’s get it all out in the open. Regardless of how you feel about a player’s right to kneel during the national anthem, two men have peacefully risked their livelihood and dreams to prove a point they feel is vital. It’s time for the coaches and general managers who have enjoyed playing both sides of the issue to throw their cards on the table, too.

    It's amazing how the 2nd amendment in the United States is more important than the first amendment....especially when talking white folk vs black folk. That country is going backwards.
