Has the NFL spoken about their treatment of colin kaepernick? Until that happens, nothing has changed. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 09:16 6
- long time listener, first time caller: was kaepernick good enough to be signed? I've always wondered. -- nm - amanda Jun 8, 09:34 5
  - He was probably about 15-23rd in results. Far worse got signed than him so he should have had a job. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:53
  - Yes but he was also offered contracts and turned them down because they weren’t to his liking. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 09:45 3
    - I think he was offered contracts teams knew he would refuse. I don't think any of them would have finalized a deal. This guy was NFL VP of - jnine Jun 8, 09:58 2
      - thank you for posting this. It's exhausting when people try to pretend this was anything other than a blackballing. It's bad enough that it happened -- (edited) - Diva Jun 8, 10:07 1
        
        Right. He was one of the most successful qbs in the NFL. He isn't going to sign for a ridiculously low amount of money. Unfortunately, he can't - jnine Jun 8, 10:36
Trump threw that pressure directly on them with his tweet at Goodell. -- (link) - Volnelk Jun 8, 08:53 19
- I guess this would be a bad time to mention that I always thought the anthem was a good moment for me to go pee, right? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 8, 09:16 4
  - You’re a dirty foreigner so it doesn’t count. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 09:39
  - But you're still standing. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 09:29 2
    - Better than he ever did? -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 09:57
    - Well, I'm not kneeling, at least. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 8, 09:37
- Fuck that guy. Can't he just get the Rona and be done with it? nm - John Murphy Jun 8, 09:11
- He's trying something that he believes worked a few years ago. As usual, he's mistaken the temperature of the room. -- nm - David Jun 8, 09:00 9
  - Has he? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 09:30 1
    - *protests your post* -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 09:30
  - he's a sinking ship and all the rats are abandoning.. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 09:21 2
    - Everyone really needs to stop thinking this way. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 09:31 1
      - I agree. With how fast things change lately, who knows what will be happening in November. I still think he will announce a cure/vaccine about 1-2 - jnine Jun 8, 10:02
  - yup. -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 09:00 3
    - "George Floyd is looking down from heaven aghast at NFL players kneeling" - Future Trump Tweet -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 09:01 2
      - His latest set of tweets sounds even more desperate than usual. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 8, 09:02 1
        
        Umpossible! -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 09:12
- Trump is worried about player's kneeling?! He'd better worry about the whole damn stadium kneeling at this point. - Epiphany- not ADAB Jun 8, 08:59 2
  - I'll admit, I often times considered kneeling at Jags games. - JaxSean Jun 8, 09:04 1
    - Years ago I stopped standing up at baseball games for "God Bless America". I was rarely at my seat in time for the national anthem. Stupid security - Krusty Jun 8, 09:06
Gee, I wonder which side will win? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 08:48
future spoilers: business priorities won...again -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 08:48 2
- Yes, but this time the businesses will be on the side of Black Lives Matter. The tide has turned, imo. -- nm* - Inigo Jun 8, 08:55 1
  - Right. This is the thing he's missing. -- nm - pmb Jun 8, 09:03
