It’s a screwed up situation.
I’m an avid fan of the NFL, and follow every team. Kap is definitely more talented than a lot of back up qbs that are currently employed. He’s young, and has obvious athletic talent. His accuracy issues could be fixed by coaching better footwork, and release. He did play in the Super Bowl.
The worst thing about it, is that other active players are kneeling too. But they aren’t jobless. There is a movement going on now where a lot of players are doing some sort of anthem statement. The Charlottesville incident has added fuel to the movement.
My team is the Raiders. Marshawn Lynch has sat during the anthem for the first 2 preseason games. Last game, Derek Carr placed his hand on Khalil Mack’s shoulder during the anthem. DC said it wasn’t a protest, but a sign of inity/solidarity between the races.
The Seahawk’s Michael Bennet was joined by a white player too.
The Browns had several players protesting last week.
The Eagles have a couple too.
Kap got fucked here…
He is taking the brunt of the bad press.
With so many other players contributing, it’s unfair to single him out.
Most importantly, people need to understand that these players are risking their careers, by doing this. They have my full support.
My guess is Kap will get signed eventually. He could start for the Jets this week, their qbs are so bad…
