This was six days ago at a movie premiere; it's the best recent photo I could find (he wears all black in every one of them) It's hard to tell...he may have dropped some weight.
And he shouldn't. He didn't do anything wrong. Nobody really cares about someone sitting or kneeling during the anthem. Its just a way to justify their racism.
I'll have to remember that. If I quit a job, it justifies that I can sue them for racism! I'm going to be so freaking rich....
They were going to release him if didn't opt out. So the quit his job stuff is nonsense. We all know he is good enough to be in the league and we all know he didn't do anything bad enough to be kept out.
No they offered him a contract and he thought he could get more money on the open market. Boy was he wrong.
John Lynch said himself that they were going to release him He did restructure so he could opt out but that was the year before
How is it nonsense? He quit...the rest doesn't matter. SF could have put up posters around town announcing that they planned to fire him and it still wouldn't matter. Plain and simple, Kaepernick gambled his entire career on the belief that someone would pay him ridiculous amounts of money....and he lost that bet. Besides, you're acting like Kaepernick is the only person in the history of the league that had the possibility of being released by a team. Are we being racist for thinking about releasing Suh? Was NE racist for releasing Tebow? The problem is that when someone calls absolutely everything racism, people quickly stop paying attention. It's like the little boy who cried wolf...and that's why a wolf ate the stupid kid. So if you want to assist in Kaepernick's movement and end inequality, it might help to focus on things like truth, US labor law and common sense. Or is it racist to ask you to stop being racist over something that had nothing to do with racism?
If he didn't quit he would have been released and the end result would be the same. He would not be on any team despite being good enough to be on one.
