pgt_rob Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not unless P Diddy and Co find enough money to buy the Panthers. Then I could see them signing Kaep as a back up. But that's never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaepernick supported this anti-cop environment. He's poison to NFL owners. Unfortunate about those five cops. It sucks. Now they know how the families of those unjustly killed by rogue cops feel. Peaceful protests are better than violent ones. Ignoring the former often unfortunately leads to the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was embraced as a black thing on the Left and rebuked as an unpatriotic thing on the Right. So the whole thing fit in with the themes of the election and got tons of media attention. Just the same, there are a lot of felons playing in the NFL and Kaep's crimes did not approach dog fighting, child abuse, or, well, shooting himself with an unregistered gun. Ray Lewis has a statue outside M&T Bank Stadium. Kaep's problem is that he was not good enough to overcome the loss of goodwill of the fans. Had this just been a Kaep thing or a 49'ers thing, he would probably have found work in the NFL, but he earned the contempt of a lot of fans and what team wants to bring in a player who will be booed at home games? Icing on the cake is that he is costing the league a lot of money every week. He is not taking a knee now, but this was not a problem until he did. Going back to the original question, the answer is almost certainly no. Ok then? so what is taking a knee during the national anthem going to do to help fix law enforcement? The Purpose for the National before games is to have a moment of silence and reverence in honor of the men and women who risk their lives protecting the freedoms of this disrespectful scumbag quarterback and this country. The National anthem is not the time or place to protest law enforcement. Instead taking a knee maybe he should do something to help his cause...

IinD Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Not a chance. Being out of the nfl isn't like missing a week of work in an office. Plus he's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to the original question, the answer is almost certainly no. Your comment about lots of felons playing in the NFL is not true. There are 1,696 players who play in the NFL. Right now according to NFL player arrest data base there are 39 players that have been arrested that play in the NFL. Less than half of them have been arrested for felonies. The list can be found thru USA Today. You can't hand pick players in the history of the NFL and make the comment that the NFL has a lot of felons playing for them and it would not be truthful. 16 of those offenses stem from drunk driving and drug possession.

Coffeedrinker Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have requested this topic be moved to the "Misc Discussion" thread since the starting topic has nothing to do with the NFL. It's the same as starting a thread asking if some random no name on the street is going to play in the NFL in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
