Roger Goodell: Colin Kaepernick chose not to take incredible opportunity
Roger Goodell: Colin Kaepernick chose not to take incredible opportunity

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hadn’t talked publicly since Colin Kaepernick’s failed workout last month. He didn’t seem interested to talk about it Wednesday.

Goodell said the league has “moved on” after Kaepernick “chose not to take” an “incredible opportunity.”

“I haven’t thought about this in a few weeks,” Goodell said. “This was, as I’ve said to you before, about creating an opportunity. Which Colin’s representatives came out in early October [with a list of false narratives about Kaepernick], and we created that opportunity. It was a unique opportunity, incredible opportunity, and he chose not to take it. I understand that. And, you know, we’ve moved on.”

The league hastily arranged a workout for Kaepernick at the Falcons’ training facility on Nov. 16. The workout was doomed from the start with sniping between the league and Kaepernick’s representatives.

Kaepernick ended up working out at a high school field an hour from the Falcons’ facility, and only seven teams attended.

The Lions, Chiefs, Jets, Eagles, 49ers, Titans and Washington watched Kaepernick workout. It was the first time he has thrown in front of NFL scouts since he opted out of his contract in March 2017 before the 49ers released him.

Kaepernick has received no offers since.

This was their endgame the entire time. This is what the set up was about. Colin knew that and took precautions that enabled him to go out on his own terms. Fuk them. At least he went out standing for something instead of groveling on his knees.

And now his story is dead and the NFL world will move on with out skipping a beat :yeshrug:
How is his story dead when he's still making headlines? The NFL inadvertently created a legend, this is not a story that will be forgotten or shelved.

A Legend to who? Certainly not their core fan base and the people they wanna appease :mjlol:

NFL told Kap to take his money and KIM, then colluded again to let they nuts hang. They won :mjlol:

Acknowledging that picture, does that make everyone who continues to watch and a support the nfl a hypocrite?
I watched the NBA knowing that they had the largest housing discriminator since 2009 and kept him on the payroll for 6 years. So did you. No need to front righteous now.
