Wait. There are people that honestly didn't see through this sham the NFL had orchestrated? Kapernick may still never get signed, but at least he wasn't so stupid as to not see through the NFL's tricks.

What's kunta kinte?
In roots his slave name was Toby and he sheds it for his real name kinte.

Basically, wearing the shirt was supposed to clearly make it known he felt he was a slave to the NFL and the NFL slave owners and he was breaking free with his own name despite their demands.


Yet, he wants back into that world.

No, he obviously doesn't. He just wants more attention for his social causes. The NFL was foolish to give him this opportunity.

You know the NFL called him, right? Sports media had largely moved on from the Kaepernick story. The last time he was in the news was on his birthday...where he was doing charity work

Jay Z and Goodell thought they could get some good press and get rid of Kaepernick at the same time. The sloppy way this was all put together, combined with the shady conditions, make it clear this was just a PR stunt. Its insulting how transparent this is.

It's almost like I said it was foolish for the NFL to put on this sham workout.

I agree people of all races and religions should own the nfl. Even Scientology.

After googling what a Kunta Kinte is, seems like TC is acting exactly like how Kaepernick wanted him to react. By shitting his pants and crying violently while giving Kaepernick extra attention.


You had to Google him? lol I'm white and I know who he is.


Wasn't there a sequel to Roots in which Kunta Kinte goes on to become a Starfleet engineering officer?

Good one.

There actually was a real sequel to "Roots" that followed Kunta Kinte's descendants.
