So, Kaep gets another shot? - Will Hunting Jun 5, 16:13 11
- Nope. I 100% think he should have been hired but that last workout where he moved it...wasn't smart. -- nm - Remlik Jun 5, 16:25 7
  - Nope. There were conditions placed on him that were BS. He knew he still wasn't getting a real shot. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 16:57 3
    - Was there? I'm legit asking. And please correct me...he moved the tryout to another place - Remlik Jun 5, 17:14 2

        Shady Boots. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 17:53
  - He had good reason to move it. They were making him jump through hoops not required of other pro day prospects. -- nm - David Jun 5, 16:43 2
    - I had no idea about that. I thought they had just set up the tryout finally and he moved it... -- nm - Remlik Jun 5, 17:15 1
      - 1st: The sides didn't trust each other from the get go. Why was Kaep all of a sudden getting a tryout in the middle of the season? This after 2+ years of nothing? -- (edited) - Diva Jun 5, 17:42
- Nah, the memory of his last workout is too fresh. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 5, 16:19 2
  - Nope. The NFL continued to try to silence him while only throwing him a frikkin bone. The 'tryout' the NFL proposed was BS. Don't. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 16:58 1
    - Seriously ST, be better on this one. Listen to Diva -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 17:06
Agreed, though they need to back it up with actions. -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 15:54 1
- Yup -- nm - JackDawson Jun 5, 16:00
If they don't directly address Colin Kaepernick's peaceful protest, I don't really think that much of it. -- nm - mara Jun 5, 15:52 9
- Yup. I just was coming to post something like this. It's lip service until they DO something. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 5, 16:29
- he is owed an apology, and all the money. -- nm - mud Jun 5, 16:25
- (mara for NFL commissioner!) -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 16:14
- yup. -- nm - Diva, snaking neck Jun 5, 16:13
- This -- nm - Tim Jun 5, 16:08
- yup. -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 16:06
- Good point -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 16:02
- yup -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 15:56
- Right. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 5, 15:53
As of right now, it's literally the least they could, aside from not saying anything. -- nm - Shaun Jun 5, 15:50 2
- I'm not giving them an award, but it's one of the more intractable organizations taking a step in the right direction. It's just a start though. - ty97 Jun 5, 15:55
- They've taken active action in the past that could be interpreted as worse than not doing in anything. They don't get medals or anything but they - JD Jun 5, 15:54
