    I take it for what it is. Your usual cop out.

    A prick he definitely is, but talking to him privately, it was told to him flat out during interviews for other teams that the racism was the bigger deal. Almost all of the NFL took the bullying charge laying down

    You know what? I agree with that. If Hitler could win a Super Bowl someone would sign him. So people must not think Kap is capable of winning a Super Bowl.

    So now Kap is on the level of Hitler, the hits just keep on coming. Kap is being white balled plain and simple, but he isn't the first and won't be the last. You have all types of criminals in the league and this young man has not broke one law or violated any rules of the NFL and yet we see how when you don't bow down and do as you are told you are taught a lesson and put back in your place.

    How you're even still posting is a testament to the political leanings of this site. Telling someone to go F themselves is acceptable i guess now?

    Regardless, some team will sign him. Just like I thought some team should have signed Ray Rice. I don't hear you bitching about the feminists who led the charge against him, or PETA leading the protests against Vick. But any chance to blame whitey, and here you are. lol

    Who did I tell that to?

    Did you start a thread on either one? When it comes to Kap the racist have come out of the woodwork.

    Was that your take on my comment? My thoughts were that many people and teams would overlook anything if it gave them a shot at winning the big one.

    With my back the way it is, I'll stand if I want and I won't stand if I don't want, and if you don't like it you can go intercourse yourselves..

    Greg Hardy had all charges dropped and the whole thing expunged from his record. He is not in the league(unless he's signed somewhere overnight). May want to use a different player... like Josh Brown, although he may not be on a team now.

    Ok we will go with..... Mike Vick. I'm not sure if he's retired yet though. Dang it he is.

    Ok, lets just look to Cincinnati and read off the roster I guess.

    Mike Vick was screwed also. How many years has dog fighting been going on in this country, it's big business.

    In today's society you will get more time for killing a dog as you will a person, folks will put up a bigger reward for a dog killer than they will for someone who has killed a person.

    So the NFL isn't that "patriotic" after all. It's all about the $$$$$.

    Go back to the original post, the NFL is about image, marketing and money. I've already said a team would sign Hitler if it was believed he would take them to the Super Bowl. In Kap's case we have a bad image, bad marketing and he ain't going to the Super Bowl.

    Then why was this thread even started? It was started under the false pretense that Kaep was not going to be picked up by teams because he is perceived as a "trouble maker." Yet the real reason is because he is asking for too much money and his performance is not up to par with the salary he was asking for. The NFL doesn't give a rat's behind if he was standing, kneeling or just flat out lying down during the Anthem.

    I can't believe Belichick hasn't given the boot to TB12 and signed Kappy......after all the Patriots just run a 'system' that anybody can excel in.......and according to most black folks Kappy is starter material in the NFL. Think of the 'kap' money NewEngland could save!

    Yep, one random unnamed source only says he's playing the race card and now it's undisputed fact.

    Why? The national anthem has no place at a domestic sporting event. If you want to fap over a flag, do it on your own time.

    And as an LA Galaxy season ticket holder, I can tell you that most soccer fans do stand despite not giving a **** if they play the anthem or not.
