Topic	Colin Kapernick wore a 'Kunta Kinte' t-shirt to his NFL workout yesterday
Anteaterking 11/17/19 12:10:02 PM #77:	s0nicfan posted... Did this stunt help or hurt his chances of being picked up by a team? The only interpretation that doesn't involve him sabotaging himself is the one where this whole thing was a sham and he never was going to get picked anyway, at which point what he did was a smart but cynical media maneuver meant to get free attention at the NFL's expense. Which still hurts his chances of ever play in the NFL again. This isn't rocket science and Kaepernick isn't stupid. Whether or not you think that the NFL is giving him a fair shot, his actions were still carefully designed to drum up media attention at the expense of any chance of playing in the NFL again. I think it has a non-negative impact on his chances of being picked up by a team. The teams that were actually there because they were honestly considering him aren't going to care that they had to drive an hour away to see him do his work-out elsewhere. You're talking about people who go to backwater D3 college games in hopes of scoping out some hidden talent. Team executives already thought this whole situation was weird to begin with. The NFL doesn't normally get involved in workouts like this, it's always a team initiated thing. You're also talking about a league where front offices are willing to look past a LOT of stuff if they think it will bring them wins. If they think that Kap will get them some wins, they don't give a ** about whether he made the NFL FO look bad in a weird out of the blue workout, since they still got to see what they needed from the workout he did. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:930266974] in Colin Kape...
