      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 almost unthinkable that he’s been banished and had his career destroyed because he peacefully used his First Amendment rights to protest racism and police brutality. Shameful, ongoing reaction from the entire NFL and all the teams therein.

          I just pray that he continues to do positive things in his life and he moves on to a higher purpose...like maybe Senator Kaepernick? He's ethical, smart and we know he won't compromise.

          He's already reached his higher purpose. Throwing him into a race would just dirty him up. There's to many hoops to jump through there. Kap just wants to help young people and bring awareness to racial injustice. I wish the politicians would talk to him and work with him

          Agreed. He would be treated even worse than he geta treated now by certain segments and populations. I just hope he continues to be a real role model.

          Me, while probably not quite so enthusiastic, I was a fan. The concussion issue is my turn away decision point. The Kaepernick debacle punctuates my decision.

          Somehow I think the NFL will survive your protests and continue to flourish. Kap is a garbage QB. Hence why he hasn't been signed.

          Me neither. It was much easier after I gave up on the team I supported my entire life, the @nyjets. On the bright side, I have so much more time on my hands to work on the real world.

          African American athletes who make a political stand are always treated horribly and in this case illegally. Meanwhile Rodger Goodell pockets 40 million plus a year for reasons unknown.
