OT NFL commissioner Roger Goodell admits they were WRONG for 'not listening' to Colin Kaepernick

So the NFL is finally saying it gets what Kaepernick was trying to communicate all along. But will Corporate America get the message? They were the ones , besides you know who, who were putting pressure on the teams to correct the situation, or lose the almighty sponsorship. Because we really know it all comes down to the mean green. I hope the message IS genuine, and REAL change happens. We will see. I want to see an America that truly is the "Land of the Free".

 

Maybe, but IMO he truly is as good as 90% of the backup QB's in the league now, and with a good coaching staff probably could develop into possibly more. But before "The awakening", teams, IMO, were afraid of the backlash from sponsors still.

 

Roger and the Good Ole Boys cabal is so full of shit -- this is just lip service until they actually do something different -- talk is cheap!! https://dontwatchnfl.com/

 

Seahawks should sign ex-49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, Warren Moon says

The subject of Colin Kaepernick’s mysterious absence from the NFL over the past three seasons was reignited recently after protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis Police custody.

Since opting out of his Niners contract in 2017, Kaepernick hasn’t been signed by an NFL team.

Many teams have been thrown around as solid potential landing spots for the 32-year-old quarterback, but NFL Hall of Fame honoree Warren Moon thinks Kaepernick could join a former bitter rival.

"It's just a matter of whether he still wants to play football,” Moon told TMZ Sports. “I think the (Seattle) Seahawks’ style of play fits what he likes to do and I think it would be a good fit if he wants to play football."

Seattle did bring Kaepernick in for a conversation after he left San Francisco but the QB ultimately left without a contract offer from the Seahawks.

The organization obviously has six-time Pro Bowl selection Russell Wilson firmly in place as the starting quarterback, but Kaepernick wouldn’t be a bad insurance policy.

Kaepernick’s last NFL game came on Jan. 1, 2017 at Levi’s Stadium. It remains to be seen whether he’ll get another opportunity, although NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league had “moved on” from Kaepernick in December.​

 

Nope, like I said before anybody that DOES sign him, it will only solidify the fact that he was basically banned from the league by the good ol boys.

 

100%. Don't believe him for a second. Real convenient to "apologize" now.

 

One guy who still doesn't get that there was no disrespect of flag or country, Donald Trump. Although I'm not sure if Gooodell has shown yet by his actions that he gets it either.

Kaepernick just sucks as a QB. he was offered a few different backup roles and a starting role, but he declined them all. now being out of the game for 4 years, he would be worse. there is no team that will sign him strictly for him to play. all the team would want is jersey sales, cause thats all he would bring that team.

 

You seem a bit down on him.

 

Truth comes out:

How a 'rogue' employee forced NFL, Goodell into new Black Lives Matter stance

 

nah, just stating facts.

honestly, though, i've never been a fan of him. way overhyped his whole career. course i cant stand the 49ers, so there's that.

 

...you say these are facts -- but I'm curious where I can find these?

 

I hope he gets a chance to play in the NFL again.
So I can be proven correct that he's not a starting caliber QB in the NFL anymore.
That he's very similar to Jason Campbell right now.

If he was good enough to be on a team. He'd be on a team.
Said the same things about Tim Tebow.
No difference between the two in terms of media circus they bring.

Had to throw Tim Tebow in there because otherwise I could be considered racist with this comment......................

 

here is one, ill dig up some more. gimme a little bit, im at work.

also there's this:
https://www.foxbusiness.com/feature...ted-20m-aaf-contract-to-play-in-league-report

if you look at his stats, he is NOWHERE near a $20m player. NFL/AAF/CFL/anything.

 

This is a bit misleading since Broncos are referring to a potential trade for him with the caveat that he re negotiate for a paycut...this is not referring to after the 49ers released him and the official blackballing began

 

that's no suspicion-- that's fact

 

Your comment could sound to some like corporate America is some racist group of a few eliteist people....

Corporate America pressured the NFL because NFL fans were put off by it. If fans and society change what they want corporate America will follow. Corporate America just wants consumer to buy shit: they have no agenda, they are neither inherently good nor bad.

 

That's incredibly misleading. That happened before the season in which he protested. He turned it down then because it represented a paycut and he still had a guaranteed year with the 49ers, which he played.

Provide a link of a job offer in the NFL after he started the protest.
