He didn't desrve to be blackballed, and there's no way there are 64 better OBs in League
Colin Kaepernick is famous for kneeling. So Las Vegas provides the perfect pew.This has involved millions of people, from the residents who manage to find religion in Sin City, to the hordes who kneel upon arrival and pray for riches, to those who kneel when leaving, seeking divine guidance to explain to their families how their nest egg has been cracked open.
Kaepernick’s kneeling history, however, has little to do with religion or wagering — although he probably didn’t fully realize his act would backlash into blackball. The quarterback, the same one who took the 49ers to the Super Bowl, hasn’t taken a snap in anger or practice since 2016. That was the season when he famously kneeled during the anthem — not due to hatred of the flag, but to stand up on one knee for civil rights and social justice. Of course, in that we’re living in a time in which lies are true and the only things we have to fear is fear ourselves, there was outrage. I understood. Even if you didn’t agree with him, it certainly was his right in our society, although a portion of its favorite periodical is Guns & Ammo . And so the NFL, always concerned with its image — except when it sidesteps minor issues such as sexual abuse and brain damage — cowardly chose not to emulate Simon of Cyrene and help Kaep bear his cross. The owners never will admit it, but he was blackballed.The Las Vegas Raiders, noted for Al Davis hiring The League’s first Black and Hispanic head coaches, and the first female CEO , invited Kaep in for a workout. It came with the blessing of owner Mark Davis, son of Al, not nearly rebel Al. I’ve never considered the man who gets his hair cut at Pottery Barn a groundbreaker. But Mark obviously is smarter than Fredo, who with a residence in Vegas could have taken his Judases to a city that gave Davis silos of house money — a town rapidly becoming a sports capital — instead of playing Ricky Ricardo to Stan Kroenke’s Fred Mertz in Inglewood. A source said Kaep was in great shape and showed a strong arm. No offer has been made, but apparently a few other franchises may be interested. I hope it’s a breakthrough. It’s rare for a QB who’s been away from the game for so long to return to the NFL. Colin, his prime ripped from him, will be 35 in November, but at 6-4, 225, and extremely mobile, he has the modern physical résumé GMs and coaches seek. I don’t know exactly how many quarterbacks will make final rosters, but at least 64 are getting paid. No chance there are 64 better than he is.All Colin Kaepernick did was try to send a message and the messenger was treated horribly, as if he were on Joe McCarthy’s list.The Raiders didn’t informsigns with Indianapolis. So the Colts now have a legitimate shot at winning the Super Bowl. … The NFL is fostering opportunities for minorities and women to have high ranking positions with clubs. The white dinner jackets are at the pump, trying to fill the tank at the lip service station. …be forced out as owner of the Washington Whatever The Hell They Are These Days? Yeah, right. He’s not Daniel T. Sterling. …Manny Machado
