    What the @NFL has done to keep Colin Kaepernick out of this league is absolutely embarrassing. Consistently horrible QBs are signed to their 5th & 6th teams, with nowhere near the records or accomplishments he has.

        It may sound ridiculous, but I think I am just now coming to grips with the fact that it appears Colin Kaepernick will never play in the @NFL again. I know I am late, but a small part of me held out hope that one team, just one, would cross that line, and sign him. SHAMEFUL!

        I watched the @NFL for over 30 years. Went to games. Had the Sunday ticket. Bought gear. Threw game parties. I will never watch another game in my life after what the league has done to Colin Kaepernick. My conscience will not allow it. History will not treat the NFL kindly.

        It's a major reason why I don't watch the NFL and probably never will again

        I'm proud to say that I have not watched an NFL game since the February 2017 Super Bowl. The blacklisting of Colin Kaepernick is happening before our eyes, as he's being punished for simply raising awareness about policing disparities in communities of color.

        That lets us know that no matter how talented and deserving he is, they will accept mediocrity over what's right. Their team stats will show them how bad their decision was to keep him out. @Kaepernick7 #ImwithKap @yourrightscamp

        Of course he’s being blackballed. Chad Henne Geno Smith Chase Daniel all have jobs. Really?

        The @CFL is not too far behind. We gave Johnny Football a chance.
