Calling the guy who is pushing hard for the Ravens to sign your man a slave and, Steve Bisciotti, a slave owner is a sure fire way to get a job.

real smart.

I mean part of getting a job is having management like you.

If my girlfriend had a following and posted a picture of my boss that garnered attention I'm sure he'd fire me.

If just an interview I'm sure I wouldn't get the job.

You've either got to be good enough for people to look aside when there's controversy or your disliked or you gotta be likable and not bring controversy.

I don't understand this article saying it makes it worse. Sounds to me like an excellent reason.

This is what some people don't seem to understand. Kaepernick sucks and he brings bad publicity. He was about to get signed, given a 2nd chance and his loudmouth racist girlfriend can't control her racist tendencies. What's worse, Kaepernick didn't say anything to distance himself from it, that means he supports the tweet.

How are you going to agree with something that depicts your possible future boss as a slave owner and the guy working to sign you as a house slave? How is that acceptable in any employment situation? Kaepernick is done. His NFL career is over. He's a shit show and after this nonsense, no one will want to sign him.

Kaepernick was never going to be signed because it is clear that a league where the vast majority of owners supported the orange one (except for the great Arthur Blank of course) was never going to let him be signed

Kaepernick sucks
he played on one of the shittier teams in the league and still put up fairly solid stats, secondly most NFL QBs are trash and less trash not a lot of high quality QB play in the league right now that justifies him not being signed

That article is trash and dude and his gf are fucking morons

He's nowhere near good enough for teams to overlook his clear and blatant racism. A QB-needy team was offering him a shot, and his girlfriend made a racist comment about the guy going to bat for him.

Are you legitimately going to say this is false?

So to summarize, the Ravens had a chance to improve their quarterback situation, they crowdsourced the issue regarding the potential backlash against Kaepernick for his anthem protests of a year ago, and they ultimately didn’t sign him because his girlfriend — not his wife or mother or sister, his girlfriend — posted an image on Twitter in response to Ray’s nonsensical ramblings on FS1 about Kaepernick?

Not sure why the article tries to trivialize that it's his gf who did it. Honestly, if his mom or sister had posted it then it wouldn't be nearly as bad because you can't choose your family. However, he's chosen to be with this woman which means he at least partially endorses her ideas. In this case, he certainly didn't disclaim them.

You don't sound like a victim at all. Oh wait, yes you do.

Holy shit that article is hard to read. Are we just throwing up cluttered nonsense that would flunk you out of College Composition and calling it journalism these days? Jesus.

sportsball is dumb

Kaepernick sucks. If he was any good, an owner would take a chance on him. Because winning is their goal at the end of the day.
