It's easy, and only takes a few moments.First of all, not standing, and protesting the national anthem and the flag, is not being "political" it is being disrespectful to the country. Comparing it to support one political party or candidate over another is a silly comparison. No owners would protest the flag, and if you are comparing simply "being a Republican" as equivalent to protesting the American flag he is being ridiculous.I don't think you guys get how racism works. But it is really what Richard Sherman said, Ownership has no issues being political but they don't like Kapernick doing it "boy, stay in your place". And they know that all these people are going to go online and say how Kapernick hates America and leap to their defense in giving you a sub par product. With all the crap that we say about the NFL and what they do, apparently the idea that they are blacklisting a player for speaking out is completely out of the realm of possibility.
yes. Thank you. Kap is disgusting.I think this image makes it difficult for owners to sign him.

I thought Kaepernick not getting signed was b.s., but then I saw the things he has been writing on twitter over the past few months. He said he wouldn't take a knee any longer, but he continued with hateful rhetoric over twitter all spring and summer. He has continued repeatedly calling cops racists, murderers, and slave catchers. On 4th of July, he wrote that celebrating Independence Day was the same as celebrating slavery. He has essentially called both Mike Vick and Ray Lewis, Uncle Toms. The Ravens owner was the only owner talking about considering hiring him, but did openly and honestly talk about the off field issues. Rather than responding in a positive way, Kaepernick's girlfriend, who appears to be his spiritual advisor, tweeted that picture. Who would hire a backup who publicly compares you to a vile slave owner in such a public way?
