Delmont, do you really care about the subject? Doesnt sound like you do, which is fine... You dont have to pretend to be interested for my sake.

I posted the story it cause it involves a country singer. He has a big problem with Kaepernick and Nike.

My opinion is just an opinion. I was a fan of his football playing, he started off fantastic. Was a dual threat, a cannon arm and very fast.

He went to a superbowl, played great but fell short to Baltimore. He was on top of the world, had lots of endorsements.

But if im being honest, what happened first, was his talent fell off. What happens to many athletic type quarterbacks is they try to run past everybody instead of throwing it like a quarterback should do. They end up getting clobbered and also making mistakes.

Sometimes the league figures you out and you are no longer effective, other guys can adjust and have long careers.

There are very few Tom Bradys who can play past mid thirty and still be great, very few.

So once he started faltering, he had trouble signing with a team again. He managed to play backup for a while, that's when he started his kneeling at games during national anthems to protest what he believes is racial injustice from police among other things.

Notice he didn't do that when he was on top of the world. That is my point

He has a right to protest whatever he wants, but you piss alot of people off by doing so. They want to be entertained. There is politics in everything, football shouldn't be one of them.

He claims he's now blacklisted because of his activism, the reality is he's not good enough any more to be a noisy distraction to a team

If you think some coach wants a guy who creates controversy on his team, you're mistaken. They try everything they can do to stay on the downlow and focus on football.

You dont need to hear half your home crowd booing him when he gets on the field. You need everybody on your side. Now, if he was lights out great, the boos would turn to cheers fast....

I dont fault somebody for voicing what they believe to be true, but i do challenge motives.
