Dear @Eagles,
I fundamentally reject the deeply offensive way Jeffrey Lurie characterized Colin Kaepernick's activism over this past year.
Show this thread
The owner of the Eagles said he wouldn't hire Colin because of his anthem protest, but hired a white player who called black people "nigger"

Yea, this Lurie-Kap thing didn't happen the way you're framing it.
-
I was at the Lurie press conference, and have read that story, and this tweet is insanely unfair and wrong
-
Lurie supports Malcom Jenkins and gave a very thoughtful, and imo, respectful answer to the Kaep Q's & u r basically implying he is racist
-
Get'em Eliot

Get'em King. You can debate the way he said it until you are blue in the face but everything in that tweet is factual with evidence.
-
Hey remember when the eagles hired an African American felon fresh out of prison thus giving him a second chance? Despite the backlash?
-
Vick was still considered a premier athlete and you're right, they hired a felon who fought dogs but won't hire a guy who is against racism

https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2014/2/27/5452484/philadelphia-eagles-re-sign-riley-cooper-five-year-contract … They gave him an extension after. it happened, so he was kind of re-hired after the incident
-
They resigned him in February yes, but the racist thing he did happened in July of 2014, so they didn't resign him after it happened
-
The incident happend in july 2013
-
I swear I saw that it happened in 2014, my mistake though.
-

Or mine. I will gladly withdraw my opinion if it can be proven otherwise that
@ShaunKing 's original tweet is untrue, not just saying it is. -
2) not sure if u know anything about football but most teams carry two qbs. Backup and starter. We signed our backup before kap was released

Wait. Technically he opted out but still...
