Wasted a bunch of people's time and then whined when no team picked him first round for being a poor sportsman and a below average quarterback.

Kaepernicks work, he argues, is fundamentally different from typical celebrity philanthropy, starting with Kaepernicks view of donations as investments, not just charity. Crucial, too, are the targets (mostly minority-led, grassroots organizations based in communities impacted by the issues he supports) and the intent (resources, infrastructure, trainees who become trainers) of his contributions.

What the QBs not doing: feeding large corporate entities (say, March of Dimes) who Jackson says are basically hustling off suffering poor people and black folks.

Shout out to ya'll legit trying to reach these trolls. Me? I'm just clowning them at this point. If you came into this topic to bitch about Kaepernick or pretend like you dont know about his philanthropic efforts, you're not to be taken seriously

Makes sense. Obviously, he is not as influential as Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, but if they do these things regularly, he's been pretty influential in the way he's used his position over the last couple years.

Lmao are yall serious right now? Dude literally had a plane full of supplies sent to Somalia. He's pledged (and kept up with his pledge) to donate 1 million dollars to various charities...

But he "distracted" from some football games and triggered Mike pence, so the jury is still out on him receiving an award for his works

I don't give a shit about his distractions from football, and I give less of a shit about Mike Pence and his feelings.

Yeah IIRC someone found out that the photos of him leaving the game were from like 3 years ago.

Can't remember. someone more bored can confirm or deny that for me

I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but one million is not all that noteworthy when his last income was 70m. Just saying. He should be lauded for doing what so many don't and actually doing his research and seeing the abysmal rates big donation firms actually dispense, but it's just a mill, and if you think his grandstanding is the reason he's gone you're a joke.

He's a below average goof who costs the team even more than when he fails every time he opens his mouth. For his name to be next to King or Parks devalues the award, tbh. But even with everything he does, he'd be playing if he had the talent to back up how much of a diva he is.

Shittiest of shitposting from someone who likely told more homeless people to go get a job than charity he's given if I venture a guess. This "so what do more" angle from haters is hilarious.

Im not surprised he is not signed. It is simple business. He is not popular, and even hated in some places, and many fans would be outraged if their team signed him, hurting the team's profits.

In addition he is demanding starting qb money, which many teams are not willing to pay him after his steady decline after appearing in the superbowl. He had a chance to sign with two teams and blew both chances, once was because of money. Also had a third chance to be traded to Denver when he was still on the 9ers but did not want to accept less money.

He had one of the top selling jerseys in the NFL last season and wasn't even on a team, this is bullshit. People that spout this nonsense don't even acknowledge that it's not just fake assed Patriots that are turned off by this but also fans of Kaep's that feel he's being backballed... But given who strokes our flag I'm not surprised people are that dumb to overlook that possibility.

Kaepernick is being blackballed for sure. But 3 teams were willing to sign him and he was not able to close the deal.
-Seattle: Wanted to sign him as a backup behind Russel but Kap refused.
-Denver: Were willing to trade for him if he took a paycut. Kap refused.
-Baltimore: Had a contract ready to go but then Kap's girlfriend posted an inappropriate post on twitter about Baltimore ownership and Ray Lewis. Baltimore pulled their offer. Kap also never said his girlfriend was wrong and he disagreed IIRC.

If he was a star player he would have a job. He is simply not worth the distraction that he brings.

Edit: Also I dont really have an opinion on him. These are just my observations.

False, they asked him if he would still kneel, but he was noncommittal.

Denver had zero cap room and at the time Kaep was still under contract with the 49ers who wanted a 2nd round pick, which would have been a bad decision for him.

It's not up to Kaep to speak on his gfs behalf - this ain't the fucking 60's, man...
