I agree. Legally, he's not being blackballed. Individually, owners don't want to sign him because of the anthem protests. It's easy to see 32 white owners not wanting sing Kaep :mjpls:
i dont think that all 32 owners have a personal problem with his protest, although im sure most do. but thats not the real issue

the fact is that signing colin kaepernick is a bad move because this country, their customer base, is full of racist whites who are going to boycott their product. and he simply isn't some incredible talent that's worth taking on that risk. this shyt is about money

i mean would anyone deny that it's a terrible decision to sign him from a purely business standpoint? i dont even think kaep is surprised he isnt getting offers. i supported his protest, i think this is blatant blackballing (not legally, more as an unwritten consensus), but the bottom line is...what did he expect? he might have exposed the country, but he sure as fukk didn't line up a job for himself :yeshrug: its a fukkin shame

i hope he gets into politics, something that actually matters more than throwing around a piece of leather and running towards some paint. fukk the NFL :ehh: he has a better chance of getting elected than getting signed

Yeah breh, that's what I was trying to say really. That I don't think that owners are collectively agreeing to sign Kaepernick. But they don't want to risk pissing off their fan base for someone who's not a superstar.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell maintains the league has no role in Colin Kaepernick remaining an unsigned free agent heading into the 2017 season.

According to Luke Jones of WNST, Goodell said that each of the 32 teams has made a "football decision" to avoid signing the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

"He can't be [blackballed] because we're not," Goodell said, per Jones. "The clubs are making those individual evaluations."
That's not what Mara told the press:

"All my years being in the league, I never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue," Mara told The MMQB. "'If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game.' It wasn't one or two letters. It was a lot. It's an emotional, emotional issue for a lot of people, moreso than any other issue I've run into."

This is more then just a "football decision", cut the crap Roger. :scust:

Sponsors were willing to sever ties with the team as well, bu bu bu football reasons?? :what:

The "pigs" socks and not voting were missteps on his part that I think indicate he's not gonna be a politician. I'd much rather he be an activist and not be tied to the political system that he's railed against since last summer

Who was he supposed to vote for? He didn't trust any of the candidates and it's his choice. Isn't it:patrice:
