Jim Trotter On Why More Players Haven't Spoken Up For Colin Kaepernick

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Did HE say that or his agent? All we ever had was hearsay.

Didn't see him on camera saying it...ESPN reported it in March. Not understanding the significance of whether it was Kaep or his agent saying it however.

Answer this question first.... is Kap not on the market for hire?

Hard to be on the market if it's not shown you want to be on the market.

It's like you looking for a job, but not filing an application or submitting a resume. You expect them to call? Same with this. You have to SHOW INTEREST 1st and if you been rejected despite a clear showing of how interested you want to be put...then it's a legit to cry foul. But it is ALL speculation.

Is there collusion? Very possible. But is Kaepernick showing that he cares whether or not he's on a team.... there's NOTHING showing that he does. Again his priorities are more important than playing football.

Schefter reported that his agent would no longer protest. And that was way early in the year. And THAT'S as far we ever got. We haven't heard from Kaep AT ALL, except when it is for a social cause or his personal trips through Africa. He may be content with things for right now for all we KNOW. We don't know one way or another. Again, that's why other player's would be hesitant about sticking their neck our to someone that they unsure about his commitment.

When Kaep was speaking with the media last year as part of his weekly obligations how many NFL players were publically supporting him? Its the same group of players(Bennett bros, Malcolm Jenkins, Eric Reid, Torrey Smith, etc) that speak up now that spoke out last year, and we heard plenty of players out in the public delivery c00n rhetoric just like we hear now. This shyt is just an excuse.

And not ONE of them stated they would like Kaepernick on their TEAM. Not one. And they shouldn't. They still protest, they still support his cause, but if this is about him on a TEAM and why players are voicing out for that....none of them you mentioned stated anything about they demand him to be a part of their roster or stated how they FELT to any coach or GM. We had sellouts like Ray Lewis to plugged in the Ravens ear to voice against it, but none of these supporters speaking up despite STILL upholding his protest.

You really think this man would allow people to organize a Spike Lee endorsed rally in the middle of NYC on his behalf knowing he had no desire to play the game again? Wouldn't that be hustlin backwards with the same people he's made in roads with? I'm old enough to know fear makes the WouldaCouldaShoulda such a fun dance to do. Them boys in those locker rooms know what time it is

This is true

When Seattle was looking at Colin, Sherman and Bennett was quiet.

He has expressed his willingness to play. He is currently training. His agent has spoken with other teams about playing.

And this is false, now sit down and stfu.

Bennett: Seattle 'perfect place' for Kaepernick

False. don't cosign that dumb shyt

Bennett: Seattle 'perfect place' for Kaepernick

 

[Thegospel]

This Kaep situation exposed a lot of fraud ass nikkas. I'm still waiting for the dudes riding his dikk to be on that boycott list though. Frauds gon fraud

 

[DonRe]

I love how Colin has to defend his right to freedom of expression and also his right not to be discrimanted against. These are self evident truths we all share. He don't have to say shyt. His messages is louder in his actions as socially conscious individual.

Why would he allow or disallow anything that HE did not personally endorse. Even Spike Lee isn't involved in this rally. Just people who want to use Spike Lee's name to have a rally for Kaepernick. And Spike Lee endorsed it because he believes Kaep should play.

There's no should of could of in this. Because there is nothing DIRECTLY from Kaepernick on what he wants to do in regards to his career. Everyone is just ASSUMING.

And this is false, now sit down and stfu.

Bennett: Seattle 'perfect place' for Kaepernick

Bennett damn sure didn't campaign for Pete Carroll, according to Pete....he echo's that he's a starter... but not for their team.



Don't believe that hype. If Bennett was that serious, then he should of call Carroll out on that bullshyt.

 

[gluvnast]

He has expressed his willingness to play. He is currently training. His agent has spoken with other teams about playing.

This is Kaepernick's LAST pubic interview stating about his future to which he dismissed addressing.



EVERYONE ELSE had something to say, for and against, except for Kaepernick.... . to suggest if he really has the desire or hunger is pure speculation. We DO NOT KNOW. All we know is that he's not signed. But there's ZERO evidence of any kind of EFFORT by him trying to get signed somewhere or voicing out his view over the situation in itself!

 

[gluvnast]

@aceboon And one more thing in that so-called Bennett interview... out that SAME ARTICLE, this what Bennett said:

"I think that Kaepernick getting the opportunity to be on our team would be really cool, would really be a good place for him because you have a coach like coach [Pete] Carroll who is up for challenges like that. You have an owner who spends and gives back to the homeless. You've got players on your team that give back in the community. You've got Russell Wilson, who shows that our team is built around community. So this is a perfect place for him."

He BIG-UP'D PETE CARROLL! He BIG-UP'D his owner! And they STILL DID NOT SIGN HIM. You really think Bennett was ADVOCATING to his coach or trying to persuade to get him on that team or is he just saying that shyt just to say it the same way Pete Carroll did?
