When it comes to Kaepernick, I think he is smart enough to know his actions will have at some point some kind of consequences. I do have a huge respect for him just because he is the guy who did the first step. He is the guy who had spoken first. For many people he is a hero. For some people he gained respect and for some he became a looser. At the end in my opinion every single team has the right not to hire Kaepernick whether they worked together or not. I personally don’t agree with President Trump to get involved, but knowing his love for an American flag 🇺🇸 I could understand it. I also think he misunderstood the players, just like many people did.
The comment about how these players should maybe not be in the country has added gas to an already fast burning fire.
He might have crossed the line, but we all know he wouldn’t actualy kick the players out of the country, he wasn’t serious, he just wanted to show his anger. If these players came to the White House, he would welcome them with an open arms. Only haters would deny it. Only people who say “he is not my president” would deny any of his action. He is an emotional guy and he mainly says what he thinks. We all got to know him and what we should expect from him before he became our president. On the other hand politics in sport is like a protest on steroids. In many cases, as you mentioned, it had a huge impact. Many times a huge positive impact. I guess every single case is different.
Great article though @broncofan99 & @adsactly!
Thanks for the comment. It will be interesting to see how Kaepernick's collusion hearing goes. If he wins this court fight it could send a huge message. As for Trump, He tends to speak without thinking but the masses don't seem to care.
Just for the record, last season when the Cardinals desperately needed a qb, any living qb I was glad we didn't go get Kap. Not because of his views, I support those. But I saw him play in the NFC West a lot. After two years when the Defense figured out what to do to keep Kap in the pocket he was not so great. His arm strength and accuracy from the pocket is not so good. He was replaced by Akili Smith for pete's sake.
