Kaepernick will work out for NFL teams in Atlanta
- Thread starter Dr. Truth
- Start date
Add Shannon Sharpe to the list.... SmhRat faced Stephen Ass Smith doing his usual cooning this morning on First Take right along with Michael Eric Dyson slamming Kap for his lack of strategy. Rarely agree with Max Kellerman but he in no uncertain terms said this was an NFL set up to protect them against any future law suit Kap might file if he found film of the "workout" was negatively edited by the NFL. And sell-out JayZ wants to be an NFL team owner so bad he's going along with the NFL's bullshit. Damn shame when two brothers slam Kap and the one white guy rightly defends him.

Howard Bryant breaks the waiver situation all down but some people will still criticize Kap...
What a disappointment, he usually get most of the facts before speaking on something yet he ignores that bullshit contract the NFL tried to get him to sign.
Shannon completely omitted the bogus waiver and the poison language in it. It's like the CAC's at FOX got to him early this morning. Damn shame.
And now him wearing a Kunta Kinte shirt was the problem. These niggas have no backbone at all, always quick to throw their own under the bus to appease white folks! A fucking disgrace.
Maybe he is a shareholder for $TWTR? Maybe he is using it as a way to show the sentiment of more people online than BGOL?
My comment was more of a joke. The seriousness of my comment for Kaepernick was about his agent. Is he a so-called black man or a Khazar? If the latter, then he is automatically compromised, which I’m not sure why people don’t get seeing he is on Nike’s payroll and is picking millions per year from them.

It should be a problem because it shows how fake he is.
Why would Kaepernick promote a fictional character from a fictional book from a fraudulent author than plagiarized a white man, Harold Courlander? Like I said before, I am sure the tag on his shirt said “made by Nike”.
Roots really got the community messed up. It is amazing how the agents of our community are still venerated and all they did was cause confusion they were paid to do.

It's Changing the Narrative 2.0. Now it's about Kap wanting to control things. He wore a Kunta shirt. He called the league out.
No talk about the league setting thing up short notice, on a Saturday, with a last minute poison waiver that had nothing to do about playing.
Also, I read that a lot of scouts in attendance were "scouting assistants". As in, low end of the totem pole. The man, next to the man, next to the man, next to the man type of dude. Not knocking their job, but no real shot callers were in attendance.
You'll hear nothing about the above though. They'll just talk about what Kap "did" and how he should have tap danced for the NFL.

It's coming to the point Im done talking about this issue. Not,because of Kap but people just ignore all the other bullshit.
People ignore that it was an Army Green Beret that told him it's better to kneel.
People ignore that Kap was coming back from injury yet keep saying he was benched...And,then ignore that he played well on a shitty 49ers team.
People ignore that the Ravens wasn't serious about signing him,the Broncos wanted him to take a 42% paycut in order the trade to happen(before his protest)..
People ignore that John Lynch gave him an ultimatum between getting cut and opting out.
People ignore the bullshit waiver the NFL tried to have him sign.
People ignore that Nike released a statement saying they never had cameras at the workout.
It's like no matter,what he does it's not good enough for them. Everyone knows this is an attempt dirty his name yet they'll believe a league that has a very long history of fuckery over a guy that's trying get his job back....
It's very disappointing to see the position Shannon took...

All of the above.
We have to stop being the nice guys about this also. We must keep telling the truth and more importantly say what they are really doing: spreading lies. No more using the terms like disinformation or false narratives. They are flat out lies.
This will get ignored by people.
Stephen a trying to talk tough right now
This is what frustrating, folks like Chris Canty,Coon Smith,Cooncellus Wiley and etc know black people are not represented in the media let alone sports media yet they went out there way to shit on Kap today..
Im not saying to kiss Kap ass but dayum all you saw from them was them kissing the NFL's ass...
Max and Nick Wright were the only ones that called out the NFL's fuckery.
You had people after people,mainly lawyers say that waiver was very problematic yet Coon Smith was to disregard it,while everyone else want to ignore it...
Kaepernick called an audible and beat the NFL at its game

RIVERDALE, Ga. — Colin Kaepernick proved beyond any doubt on Saturday that he belongs in the NFL.
During an hourlong workout on a high school football field in Riverdale, Georgia, Kaepernick did all of the things NFL personnel would expect to see from an elite-caliber quarterback. He threw out routes on a rope, pinpointed slants, connected on medium and long routes. One scout on site said he believed that Kaepernick still had an elite arm.
That is not why Kaepernick proved he belongs in the league.
On Saturday, he showed the maturity and tactical acumen of an elite NFL field general.
Kaepernick outmaneuvered the NFL. No matter what the league had in mind, it failed.
Last week the NFL, accused by critics since 2016 of blackballing Kaepernick, put together a hastily- convened workout at the Atlanta Falcons training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia.
While the workout had the trappings of legitimacy — with low-level scouts in attendance — it had the smell of a sham. The workout came out of the commissioner’s office. No team had offered Kaepernick a tryout in three years. Why now?
No media would be allowed to watch the workout, and Kaepernick’s team would not be allowed to videotape it. The NFL would be judge, jury and — if it came to that — executioner.
The league would videotape the workout, distribute it to all 32 teams and make a determination on Kaepernick’s NFL-readiness — or worthiness.
Invariably word would leak out about the myriad deficiencies and rust that Kaepernick’s workout revealed.
The NFL, as it often does, would determine the narrative.
On Saturday, at the last moment, Kaepernick called an audible. He canceled the workout at Flowery Branch and switched it to Charles Drew High School, an hour’s drive away. I was in a car outside the Falcons’ training facility when word spread that plans had changed.
This was not some hastily drawn-up play in the sand on a playground. This shrewd, well-organized move took everybody by surprise. An audible that caught the NFL napping.
The workout was executed with efficiency and coordination. By the time the media had shifted from the Falcons training camp to the high school, Kaepernick’s security team was already in place. There was security at the entrance to the high school checking off names. The security at the entrance to the field lined up the media, checking bags, then sending media personnel through.

Even the site selected for the workout was symbolic. Charles Drew High School was named in honor of the brilliant black surgeon who pioneered methods of storing blood plasma, an innovation that saved thousands of lives during World War II.
In retrospect, it’s likely that Kaepernick never intended to work out at the Falcons facility.
Why would a man who meticulously constructed the image of a football activist, shunned by the league, validate a sham tryout by participating it?
Kaepernick called an audible on Saturday and took back the narrative.
The reason for making the switch, Kaepernick would tell us later, was “making sure we had transparency of what went on.”
If the NFL’s hastily-arranged workout was a publicity stunt, Kaepernick responded with a stunt of his own, one that was far more effective in securing his imprimatur as a man of the people.
He laid out the new rules: The workout would be open to the public and to the media.
After the workout, word spread that he would address the media — albeit in a one-way polemic — for the first time in three years.
The workout was as much of a protest rally as it was a football workout, designed to solidify Kaepernick’s base and cement his reputation as the People’s Champion. He spent as much time mingling with fans as he did working out.
Finally, Kaerpernick came over and addressed the cluster of media.
“I’ve been ready for three years. I’ve been denied for three years. We all know why,” he said Saturday.
“Y’all been attacked for the last three years. Y’all continued to be attacked. We appreciate what y’all do,” he said. “We appreciate you being here today. We appreciate the work you do for the people in telling the truth.”
Kaepernick seemed to mistake the presence and persistence of media as sign of support, not the tenacity to follow the news and report it. The truth is that in pursuit of a story — the media allowed itself to be manipulated by the NFL and by Kaepernick.
I support Kaepernick, admired the courage he showed in 2016. However, the narrative has now shifted. It is no longer about being blackballed, no longer about not being given a tryout. What is he going to do moving forward, likely without football?
As he continued his soliloquy Saturday, Kaepernick made a statement that let me know he had no intention — or interest — in ever playing in the NFL: “We’re waiting for the 32 owners, the 32 teams, Roger Goodell, all of them to stop running. Stop running from the truth, stop running from the people.”
Before he left, Kaepernick added:
“We’ll continue to give you updates as we hear. We’ll be waiting to hear from Roger Goodell, the NFL, and the 32 teams. We will let you know if we hear from them. The ball’s in their court.”
There likely will be no return or volley.
The NFL won, Kaepernick won and the media won. Kaepernick gave the NFL the out that it needed, and in antagonizing the NFL, Kaepernick gave himself the multibillion-dollar NFL enemy of the people he needs.
The only losers are anyone who wanted to see Kaepernick get a chance to play quarterback in the NFL.
During Kaepernick’s NFL exile, many speculated that teams simply do not want the media circus and distraction that comes with having him on their team.
However, the real reason many NFL teams do not want Kaepernick has nothing to do with distractions and circuses. Many NFL teams do not want a player of Kaepernick’s vision, insight and influence in a locker room full of impressionable young black players who might have their eyes opened by what Kaepernick has to say.
As a young player, Kaepernick beat teams with his arm and his legs. Today at age 32, Kaepernick can win with his mind as well. That is what he did Saturday.
That’s what frightens the NFL.
Coon this, coon that...
We're STILL WATCHING FOOTBALL.
Mr Militant Eric Reid will still collect his checks every month from the same crooked racist NFL and HE WAS THERE AT THE WORKOUT. He left early because HE HAD A GAME THE NEXT DAY (he ain't trying to miss none of those crooked NFL checks).
It really hurts yall to see people who might have a different opinion and perspective on this situation.
Sad.
Kaepernick was all in his feelings just like you being in your feelings when Eric Reid called your fuckery out....
you are seeing a bunch of people following their marching orders....
if you want to keep getting $$$ from your network
if you want future access to xyz team execs, and league employees
stay on code
example
SAS knew since yesterday Nike had no film crew in Atlanta
but today SAS brings up the Nike commercial anyway
Max corrects him on it on air - calls out the lie for not being true
SAS says he doesn't give a damn
What these people are saying through SAS et al is a black man is expected to be docile and not defend his rights or his reputation
@playahaitian - regarding your other thread - concerning sellouts: house niggas exist in all races and creeds
Jews are ruthlessly efficient at ostracizing theirs- even 100 years ago when jews were treated like dogs in this country - they kicked out any that chose white $$ or interests over protecting their own
but we have been brain washed into accepting ours because the white jesus preaches forgiveness and acceptance
Yall have to stop acting like Kaep don't have faults.
Damn they got Sharpe too. Welp guess its a wrap. There literally are no Black media reps on major outlets that give a fuck about Justice and Equality.
I should have known once they started giving a castrated Michael Vick so many spots on their show as an analyst
The same Vick that said Kaep needed to cut his hair to make himself more palatable. What kind of ho shit is that. I haven't watched a game in 3 years, looks like I never will. We as a group just have no legs to stand on, as we cant stand together on ANYTHING. All these complaints on various mean NOTHING, as we never band together. What a fucking disappointment this is.
I bet if Martin King was alive, people would be split. I can for damn sure guarantee that if Malcolm was alive today, he would have such a small following, based on all this willing alignment with overt oppression.

I don't understand what people want? Many people wanted Kaep to cooperate because if he is on a NFL team and playing well, he has a huge platform to speak on injustices against African Americans.
If he is not in the NFL, Kaepernick has no platform and people barley knows he exist. So he kept it real and now has no platform to speak.
Because Shannon did not agree with how Colin handled the workout he is a Coon?
Who said I was watching football....
I said WE, as in black people.
If you're outraged at Kaep's treatment by the NFL maybe you need to take your fight to the local sports bar and those apathetic "coons" on Sundays. Mean tweets to your favorite sports media personalities ain't cutting it.
Shannon simply did not agree with the way Kaepernick handled it. That does not make him a coon
They want Kaep to be their militant superhero, fighting white supremacy while also getting paid handsomely from these same white supremacist.
Because he took a knee he is above all criticism, and can do no wrong.
We have no choice but get 'on code' and mindlessly let him lead us to......him getting a job with the white supremacist.
