*Trump Fam Trigger Warning* Kaepernick reaches multimillion dollar settlement

[TheMan]

The terms and details of the settlement were not disclosed but NFL columnist Mike Freeman speculates the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback may have received between $60million to $80million in the agreement.

'Number NFL team officials are speculating to me is the NFL paid Kaepernick in the $60 to $80 million range,' Freeman of the Bleacher Report tweeted Friday afternoon.

Kaepernick filed his grievance against the NFL back in October 2017, accusing the league and its 32 teams of blacklisting him and preventing him from being signed in retaliation to his kneeling national anthem protest against police brutality.

With his Nike deal and now this...dude is set for life.

The money isnt a big deal, he was set for life before this happened.

He never played a down of professional football again after that fiasco. That’s what he committed his youth and adolescence to doing. Now he’s got nothing. There was no substance behind his gimmick, so intelligent people across the country see him as just a bozo looking for attention. The only girls who think what he did was “heroic” are ugly sjw types, so it’s not like his cred matters in that department.

60-80 mil is nothing to the nfl. The plyers themselves share, what, 58% of revenue? So theyll be paying more of his settlement than the owners probably :lol

The fans got the last laugh on this fool. He was booted from the league in disgrace. He’s gonna have to donate all that money to charity anyway, lest he look like some “greedy capitalist” and ruin the image he’s built up with leftards.

He lost.

31 year old QB who in a normal career wouldn’t have much left gets 60-80 million on top of already being a folk hero to millions....but he lost?

Hell he wouldn’t have made that much money guaranteed had he played the last few years.

Booted from the league in disgrace....

He’s the biggest hero in sports to a LOT of people you just don’t know much about.

He’s richer and more popular than he ever would have been playing.

The people who hate him aren’t the ones he cares about anyway.

And no matter what happens he won't even be a footnote of history in 100 years time.

His shenanigans or genuine activism... however you want to perceive it... whatever the reality of the situation truly is in his heart... are really nothing of note whatsoever. I mean, absolutely nothing of note... not even a little bit... when considering the impact on long term history.

People like Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell, Ali will live through the ages of people still caring about sports for reasons other than strictly their on field performance. People like Kaep absolutely will not be noted in any way, be it on the field or off. Nobody will care. He's a ****ing piece of dust on a flea at best.

I get all that, but he was a talented player, if he’d have worried more about his game he might could have still gotten another chance as a starter (injuries happen all the time) and possibly another fat payday. Could have salvaged a memorable career as a player and still had plenty of time to attention whore in retirement.

The fact that he tried so hard to get BACK in the nfl, even AGREEING to stop protesting if they would start paying him again :lol tells me he regrets making an ass of himself this way.

That’s great he has a pile of cash now... but now what? He’s not articulate, intelligent, his message has no substance. He doesnt have NFL Sundays to kneel down and make idiots think he’s some kind of hero. His spotlight will fade very rapidly.

If he starts indulging lavishly with all that dough he’s just exposed further as a fraud.

He’s basically just an empty hermit crab shell on top of a mound of cash.

Of course this was about the money. Seriously, what do you guys think people get sued for? What else could resolve the lawsuit?

He may not be remembered for this but he's undoubtedly more famous.

And that doesn't even seem important to him anyway. If he cared about fame he'd have plenty of opportunities to appear on TV. Instead his only TV spots are Nike ads where he continues to say nothing and make more money. He appears to have two primary concerns: His social activism and making money. I'm not sure how much difference the protests have made but he's certainly made himself some money.

He's more famous now... but as I said, he didn't change anything... none of this means anything. He didn't do anything except draw attention to himself and get a bunch of people riled up. That's literally it.

So yeah, you're right... he benefited himself financially and in terms of fame, but what the **** else changed as a result of all of this?

Nothing. This topic, with no actual change for anyone or anything other than himself, is so beaten to death it's disgusting at this point.

He hasn't done anything on the field or off to earn a place in the history books. It's not going to happen.

[Kblaze8855]

All that happens if he never protested?

[Ben Simmons 25]

That's all good and well but in 100 years nobody will care about him or know who he is because his activism, which is allegedly supposed to be about more than him, didn't do anything except benefit himself.

There arent five people on this board right now out of the thousands who could tell me the name of the guy who started World War One by killing Ferdinand. And that’s actual important world history.

No he’s not going to be vividly remembered in 100 years. What of it?

You think the average American could name any athlete from 100 years ago other than Babe Ruth and perhaps 1-2 other baseball players if you really give them a minute?

People don’t know the original packers...or what the Harlem rens were doing...they might know Jack Johnson existed....might.

Very little is remembered by anything but the people obsessed with the subject. And people obsessed with the history of the NFL are going to know his name a lot better than they would had he never protested.

Maybe I articulated it incorrectly or thought about it incorrectly when expressing my actual feelings behind all of this.

What I'm really saying is... he didn't change anything. He didn't impact humanity in any meaningful way whatsoever. He improved his own situation and that's it... which is not what this was all supposed to be about.

Nothing he did or said is going to have any lasting impact on anything for anyone, anywhere. He's irrelevant.

I'm not saying what he was supposed to do or not do. I'm saying that what he allegedly was trying to do was alter our course. Did he do that? No.


What was he supposed to get done exactly? Do you think he felt that if his knee touched the ground as a song was played police brutality would end? You think his supporters feel he was supposed to get that done?

No, but did anything change as a result of Kaep? No.


This is just manufacturing standards to suggest he didn’t achieve something that was never possible to begin with.

He won. The NFL apparently stopped fighting and paid him in addition to him becoming a hero to many and something of a marketing phenomenon. There is really no way to twist this into anything negative for him so you go with him not impacting human nature in a grand enough scale to end discrimination?

Who is he supposed to be professor x?

I'm not going to continue on with you about this... I've seen you type shit for nearly 20 years without once saying "I was wrong." Every single time you've been proven wrong you either just keep going or stop conversing.

Not that you think you're wrong here, but I know how this is going to go. You've even admitted that you argue beyond what your belief is just so you don't have to admit anything.

I've seen you admit to us that you cheated on a chick and then argued with her about it when she suspected you of it/accused you to the point that she broke down crying apologizing even though obviously you knew you were guilty.

I know that I'm right. You can think you are or pretend you are, either way I don't care enough to go further.

Isnt that the point of being an “activist?”

[Kblaze8855]

You didn’t see me admit anything. I flat out told you what happened. There’s nothing for me to be wrong about here unless you think I or anybody else believes police brutality was supposed to come to a screeching halt because somebody kneels. Nobody on this entire planet was stupid enough to see that as a realistic outcome and you know it.

You just try to suggest that the impossible not coming to pass is some kind of failure because the idea that he won seems to bug you.

You might as well go tell somebody who holds a cancer benefit that they failed if cancer continues to exist after it’s done. You don’t defeat discrimination or brutality period.

Trying to use its continued existence against somebody who is trying to bring awareness to it is pretty transparent. The idea of him coming out on top just seems to annoy you.

If the standard is sweeping changes in humanity due specifically to your actions there have not been 5 successful activists in history. If would take an act of an actual biblical god to end discrimination.


So what was the point of kneeling? Just a long term play to get a lawsuit settlement and make himself richer?

You telling me there is no point in any protest that didn’t end in the eradication of the issue of concern?

I’m asking if that’s your position.


I suppose it varies by circumstance.

My point is, Kaperdink kneeled down in protest.

The end result was he got blackballed from a prestigious league, and nothing in society has changed. He’s donated some bucks and spoke to some kids about “police interaction awareness.” He could have done that without the kneel down debacle.

He sued the league for collusion and did not win. He settled the case for an amount that is peanuts to the league, and they managed to successfully keep him out for good. They league is happy with the result Im sure.

Premature end to his career and no actual affect on crime rates, police brutaity, etc. Started a national “dialogue” that was nothing more than the same old partisan bickering.

Did he SET OUT to end his football career and make no meaningful social change with his kneeling? If so, he holds a W. His plan worked.

Was his plan all along to win a lawsuit? Doubtful, but since he did as an incidental ramification, that’s realy more like a consolation than a W.

IMO.

He didn't start a dialogue about police brutality, though. That was already in full swing and it had nothing to do with him.

Kaep didn't actually do anything except create needless drama... he displayed empty minded bandwagon thought and didn't change anything for anyone except himself.

The police brutality conversation was wellllllllllllll underway prior to Kaep even being a semblance of a thought on this subject.

He's not a thought leader. He's not even a thinker period. He's brainless. He didn't do or accomplish anything.

What he did do was trigger the fukk out of all you idiots who think black dudes get treated like white dudes by the cops. Stats show otherwise. It became an even bigger debate after other NFL players followed his example and other sports figures from the NBA and black celebrities in general.

And even worse, it was never about about disrespecting the flag/military, only when Trump and Fox News gave you that talking point, thats when it became very divisive.

He didn't trigger me.

What "triggers" me, as in, I find to be annoying... are the parade of morons that act like he did anything of note.

He didn't do anything. I'm not wrong about anything I've said.

And black guys do get treated differently by cops... and the biggest reason for that is not that a bunch of racists sign up to be police officers... it's because if a cop has to repeatedly deal with a certain portion of society, poor black people, at a disproportionate rate to the rest of society... over and over and over and over... their brains are going to become biased against blacks... and then at that point black people are going to get treated differently. Does it make it right? No. But that's humanity.

People develop biases they never intended to as a result of life experience.

If every time you walked into work your boss came up to you and slapped you in the back of the head, you'd be looking out for it every time you went into work... you'd be programmed for things to be that certain way.

It’s definitely both.

Before the social media age it was so easy for cops to **** with whoever they wanted for whatever reason. Certainly a lot of racist white d1cks on police forces across the country ****ed with black peeps just for the sake of it. There’s no question. That part is fair enough to admit.

What WONT be admitted is that plenty of well meaning cops end up profiling people and communities for their own safety, through no fault of their own, and the communities that complain about it take no responsibility for themselves.

Nor will it be admitted that TODAY we’re basically just swinging the pendulum the other way, and people try to get cops blamed for shit when nothing wrong was even done.

The left isnt looking for civil discourse and cooperative action for the most part. Theyre rage-filled weenies looking for a witch to burn.

It is both, and I think if we rewind this conversation 30 years+ or so, then I would agree it's largely racists signing up to be cops.

And of course racists still sign up to be cops today... but what I'm saying is that the majority of cops that sign up today don't start out racist and signing up for the job with the intent to hate on blacks.

thats a pretty long winded way of hyping someone up who's irrelevant.

someone who will never be a historical figure in sports or politics or whatever he's trying to do

If you don’t know what he’s trying to do by what means can you determine he failed to do it? Nobody on the planet thinks a protest could end discrimination. Nobody. There is no way that was the expected outcome.

You are responding to a post about the idea that he somehow lost.

He’s more famous....richer...and more respected than he was at any time he played. You tell me how to spin that into a loss without expecting him to banish discrimination from the souls of humans and there may be a point to make. As it is? It’s a massive come up.

That people are trying to apply some kind of world changing standard to a football player makes it pretty clear he’s just pissed some people off. He knelt down and has barely even spoken in 2 years. He’s not out here preaching. He retweets support from various people but he’s not really saying much himself. Angela Davis, Harry Belafonte, and others often seem to pop up and support him but he just retweets and says thanks.

I could see if he’s out here taking all the interviews and explaining his goals and so on. He’s been chilling for two years. From what I can find he didn’t really say anything from early 2017 to April of 2018 and has said little since. He had a 5 minute speech in two years. The world makes him notorious more than he does. Legends and stars and athletes keep posting pics in his gear saying they stand with him.

He then says thanks.

He could be taking the hundreds of interview requests if he were just looking for attention.

What makes no sense is the idea that this lawsuit was going to be resolved in any way that didn't come down to money. This is a civil lawsuit. Does anyone think the lawsuit could end with Goodell ordering a team to sign him? And then play him for some number of snaps per game? Or that the lawsuit leads to the NFL altering the rules governing deadly force by police officers? That this lawsuit against the NFL would lead to anything beyond money exchanging hands? Kaepernick wasn't suing on behalf of anyone other than Kaepernick.

Personally I wasn't sure whether Kaepernick could win or not and would have bet against him unless there are some secret emails that were discovered proving a conspiracy. Dudes like Perriman and Sanchez getting to play proved to me that something was up but I doubt that met the legal standard. My guess is that the NFL just wanted to end the story so they settled to get it out of the news and keep some embarrassing things owners gms and coaches were saying privately. from coming out to light. Regardless, what is this other outcome where Kaep gets something other than money that those saying this is a loss expected to see?

The real loss for Kaepernick was losing his career, which already happened. 50 mil? That's no loss, and that's the lower end estimate.

hilarious thing is, if maga and the nfl had just ignored him and allowed him to practice his free speech prerogative, he would've been just another unremarkable backup qb. actually, that's what was happening- he had been kneeling for a while and no one really cared until the gawd emperor started tweeting about it while trying to distract from his shenanigans. then it became a massive national hot point.

Yeah but the point is he purposely put a spotlight on himself by taking a knee, then promptly shut up his mouth about the issues when he realized he’d get shredded in any actual debate by anyone with a modicum of sense. He’s not intelligent and he knows it. He used his NFL platform to make himself look like an edgy revolutionary when all he had to do was kneel on a camera. When it came time for thoughts, words, ideas? He basically went ghost.

He simply knelt down. Maybe the easiest thing any non-geriatric human can do. And that’s it. He did the easiest thing possible to get attention, then he failed to back up his “message” with any substance whatsoever. Kneels and retweets, thats it. Everyone with a brain can see the guy is a fraud “hero” or “leader.” He has no clue about anything. His girlfriend goes on black pride marxist rants and he just stands there quietly like a bum because he knows hes dumb and doesnt have anything to say.

Sure, from a purely financial standpoint... W. But he basically told on himself in front of millions of people. Yes, as you said, a segment of people are dumb enough themselves to think he did some ‘courageous.’ But the smarter and frankly cooler people out there see the guy as a punch line. And hes well aware of that. Dont care who you are or how much $ you have, thats gotta sting on some level.

It amazes me how often people here think their perspective is shared by others and then assume how they feel because of it. I am fairly sure that when Colin is watching Stevie Wonder, conan o'brien, Harry Belafonte, Denzel and dozens of legends and stars of all races support him hes not thinking "Too bad the cool people hate me....". Who do you think he thinks is "cool"? All the people who refused to perform for the superbowl passing up the biggest stage possible out of solidarity? Or the morons who call into Nike complaining about "Kaeper******" or harassing an old black lady they found out worked in the call center till she broke down in tears? You think someone like Colin has his feeling hurt Ted Nugent, Roseanne, and Donald Trump are upset? You think a guy like him feels like the cool people are against him when Kobe, Lebron, and Snoop dogg are with him but Kid Rock, a gang of nascar drivers, and country music stars he never heard of arent?

Youre free to think whatever you want. You give it some real thought though...theres no way Colin goes to bed stinging over the "cool" people not being behind him.

The people who hate him I strongly suspect...hes pretty happy about.

A 30 year old black guy with Angela Davis and Obama on his side doesnt give a shit what Curt Schilling and Larry the Cable guy think. He wants Donald Trump, and Ted Nugent, and...you...to be upset.

It doesnt sting a bit.

This is like thinking Alan Jackson has hurt feelings because some hollywood liberal, or Jay Z, or me dont care for his opinion. A MAGA hat wearing country music legend doesnt give a **** what Leo, George clooney, or Puffy thinks. Hed be pleased with them hating him. Just as Colin would be pleased to know you and Hank Williams jr dont like him. You think hes dying for the support of the confederate flag sunglasses crowd?

You can agree with Kaepernick and still recognize that he’s a dumb guy. There’s a reason why he doesn’t do interviews. The guy makes Donald Trump look like a poetic wordsmith.

The problem with Kaepernick is that it should have never been a story in the first place. Some football player sits on the bench during the anthem. Who gives a shit? People making a big deal out of that is what led to the kneeling thing. And then people jumped on and tried to use it for their own purposes.

The second this guy showed up wearing a Castro shirt is the moment that it was clear that this guy is an idiot who doesn’t know anything. He’s just a dude with an uniformed opinion. His opinions on political matters should have been taken as seriously as Kyrie’s view on the shape of the earth. He’s obviously just a dumb guy who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The problem is that the media tried to force the narrative that this guy is some kind of civil rights hero who is without question “on the right side of history” despite their own polling consistently showing a majority having a negative view of kneeling. Much of it is a backlash against the media trying to force their own views on the public instead of just reporting the news.

Maybe I articulated it incorrectly or thought about it incorrectly when expressing my actual feelings behind all of this.

What I'm really saying is... he didn't change anything. He didn't impact humanity in any meaningful way whatsoever. He improved his own situation and that's it... which is not what this was all supposed to be about.

Nothing he did or said is going to have any lasting impact on anything for anyone, anywhere. He's irrelevant.

I think you've overshot your argument. Kaepernick is 31. We don't know what he will do with his platform, but he'll have quite some time to do it. We do know that he has strong beliefs and that he isn't complacent. This notion that "nothing he did or said is going to have lasting impact on anything for anyone, anywhere" is in strong contradiction with his work with his "Know Your Rights" camps that he has held for minority kids in Chicago, Oakland and NYC. If his camps are the sum total of his benefit to humanity, and he helps even a few kids through his foundations and his activism, that's more than you have given him credit for and more than the vast majority of Americans are doing right now.

I understand your argument - some are making him out to be Jesse Owens or Jackie Robinson - but I don't think he'd place himself anywhere near the same sentence with those athletes nor do I think he's seriously aspiring to have the kind of impact that they did. He's simply looking to make some noise, get people talking about the issue and change the perspectives of a few minority kids, especially black boys, in the process. He likely won't be remembered in 100 years, but I don't think his goal was ever to reach that kind of acclaim through activism.

Anyone that ever thought for even half a second that this was about anything other than Kaepernick being a trendy follower (in terms of where these "thoughts" came from... obviously he was the first to kneel) was always kidding themselves and hoodwinked.

He's not a thinker. He had no noble cause. He's just a trend following moron that let's other people(in this case, the media) think for him. And so many minorities ate it up, as if he actually gives a **** about anything or anyone other than himself. He doesn't.

Nope, youre wrong. The people who aggrandize him are society’s cringes and try hards and he knows it. Go to any tailgate where people are having a good time, they think he’s a dope. Talk to any person with a sense of humor, most find the guy to be a cornball.

Go to a feminist poetry reading where ugly people are brooding about their emo feelings on the oppression of the patriarchy... that’s his core crowd of support. People who try too hard to be intellectuals and actually are just posers. MaxFly being the perfect example in this thread. Nobody thinks he’s charismatic or alpha in any way. He just takes generic “pretentious guy who acts ‘progressive’” manufactured mainstream opinions. Straight out of Poser 101 handbook. Those kind of people are the Kapperdink support base. Public figures don’t count as they rarely reflect the values typical of their various background, but rather hollywood itself.

Kapperdink is a hero for posers and try hards. Maybe youre right tho, maybe I give him too much credit to think he realizes even that. Maybe he thinks having the support of Michelle Obama means he’s doing the right things. Clearly he’s too dumb enough to really know on his own whether his “protests” make any sense or not. Maybe the approval of the pretentious and phony set is, to him, an achievement.

Yeah but he SPECIFICALLY postured himself as some enlightened activist of pregressivism with his “protest.” But as soon as the league he was causing problems for took away his paychecks... he BEGGED to be let back in. He promised to stop protesting. He didnt say a word about injustice. He sued them to let him back into a league with a slave owner mentality.

He postured himself like a hero who stands tall, but he came crawling back on his belly to a league owned by greedy racist white billionaires. He came back BEGGING for a piece of that pie. I guess he’d never really consider MOVING to Mother Africa, huh? It just looks cool to film yourself on a PR visit now and then?

His idiot slurpers who dont think logically will overlook this entirely bc they dont scrutinize things, they just line up on a side and bark. And as I said previously, maybe for him it’s not l important. Maybe it’s all about the money. I conceded it’s a financial W even tho he looks like a fraud.

Nonetheless, I suspect looking like a massive fraud has to at least be a bit embarrassing. But maybe he doesnt have the self awareness to even realize it.

I actually think deep down he does.

Lets put aside for now your absurd claim that he somehow lost....

You are in here calling other people pretentious while suggesting that you and your side are the cooler smarter people? Thats pretty out there even for my level of arrogance. Even if you were right....and you arent....taking it to the extent that you pretend a guy KNOWS youre right about you being cooler and smarter and is in pain over it?

A guy gets tens of millions from the company he sued for blackballing him, the support of probably everyone he could think to want it from...countless legends, civil rights icons, and entertainers....hes collecting awards from international rights organizations. Hes been given the same award Nelson Mandela got and and that little girl in the middle east who championed girls rights to learn before being killed for it. Hes got people who sold 200 million records turning down superbowl invites and millions of people flocking to buy Nike to the tune of a 31% sales increase...and you actually convince yourself that hes secretly hurting because he doesnt have you and your band of friends hanging out behind the Toyota Tacoma on his team?

And the OTHER side is pretentious? Colin doesnt give even the slightest hint of a **** what you and yours think.

That you think so much of yourself and those like you that you believe someone someone under such circumstances is quietly seething in bed over your disapproval should disqualify you from using the world "pretentious" in the future.

I get being annoyed by the outpouring of support, awards, and money.....but you are flat out delusional if you think anyone living the life hes living now has his feelings hurt because a gang of people he doesnt give a shit about dont like him.

This dude is on shirts worn by grandmas who dont even watch football. Hes a downright hero to some. I genuinely understand why that annoys you.

But it is what it is.

Hes surrounded by way too much praise and now too much money to be seething over your opinion the way you seem to be over the opinion of the many millions on his side. Dude has most of the prominent people someone like him would have grown up idolizing on his side and hes supposed to have the guys tailgating in Birmingham on his mind. Hes getting blowjobs from video hoes, accepting awards, hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio, cashing checks for dozens of millions of dollars, and STILL getting the love of the poor while he does it.

Im sure hes just secretly fuming over your irrelevant ass disapproval hes probably mostly insulated from by the thick fog of support, women, money, and adoration hes walking through. How will he get by without the Hank Williams Jr crowd of Nascar fans and mad people on the internet...

Colin is living the life. If he ever doubted himself for a second he could probably roll over and check his phone to read props from some legend he grew up following then go dive scrooge mcduck style into a pile of money with one of the Olympians or R&B divas hes dated the last few years. The very idea that hes secretly hurting over you types is among the most pretentious things ive ever read. And ive read my own posts.....so I know pretentious. But im usually mostly kidding. Doesnt feel like youre kidding.

PS: You're a bit of a masochist to continue to entertain his posts, and moreso to attempt to breakthrough the fantasy land he's built for himself. I hope he's got the restraint to refrain from writing page long diatribes to these responses, but I'm doubtful. Narcissists hate when their "superiority" is challenged.

Kaepernick kneeling doesn’t irk me. I recognize his stupidity and laugh. What irks me is that this is a reminder of the large scale stupidity I’ve been fighting my whole life and will continue to fight until my dying day unless I decide to start sitting in silence.

Wrong, you couldn't be anymore wrong even if you tried you clueless fukk :oldlol:

Why would I care if any illegal can't get to the US? It doesn't affect me at all, all my family on my dad's side are US citizens and my family on my mom's side are well off and don't need to sneak into the US, they visit the US to vacation. Tell me again why I should care if some low IQ indio campesino from Chiapas can't make it to the US because Trump's wall? You think that triggers me? ROFL!

I dislike Trump for two main reasons...one, his bullshit lie about Mexico paying for the wall was never gonna happen, and guess what? You don't hear him talking about that after Mexico sonned his ass on that front. I had arguments with ISHers (Nick Young, Harry Bergeron, UK2K etc) that that wasn't gonna happen and guess who won that debate? Yeah MX ain't putting one peso into Trump's stupid wall, if it ever gets built.

Second reason, Trump is a lying POS con-man, he was never about the little guy until he started his presidential run...everyone from NY knew this, tell me why the state and city that most knows his ass voted heavily against him? It isn't because its a liberal city/state either, they know he's a fraud. Tell me when is the last time a presidential candidate lost his he city and state the way he did? It just doesn't happen. Reagan handily won liberal CA twice and Clinton took Red Arkansas twice, yet Trump didn't put NY in play at all :confusedshrug:

Trump has all you low IQs eating from his hand, y'all are dumb enough to think he cares about the average American yet he pushed through a tax cut that only benefited the rich while everyone else will eventually get fukked if they haven't already...and it has made the US debt grow by trillions too which it will eventually come back to fukk the US taxpayers sooner or later in the ass hard.

You ate up his populist BS, you're easily fooled, rube. You're an easy mark...I'm not.

This entire website is dedicated to discussing people that don’t give two shits about our lives, you silly unaware clown.

Kaepernick kneeling doesn’t irk me. I recognize his stupidity and laugh. What irks me is that this is a reminder of the large scale stupidity I’ve been fighting my whole life and will continue to fight until my dying day unless I decide to start sitting in silence. What irks me is the overwhelming large swaths of morons that think this guy is in any way noble or heroic and that he’s someone to look to as a thought leader when in reality he does not have any original thoughts... like literally none at all.

:lebronamazed:

can you give us details of your efforts to fight said stupidity?

will write a long-winded letter to nike to get you an endorsement deal if your story is compelling enough. :cheers:


All your life? I mean... keep fighting that good fight, I guess. If anything Kaepernick has added to a conversation that has been waxing and waning for quite some time, and it's quite clear that he has emboldened other players in various sports - and even younger people - to take some of the more draconian proclivities of our law enforcement state more seriously.

Pretty much what happened in Charlotte a few years ago. Black cop shoots black dude, black people take over downtown for 3 days protesting, smashing windows and looting all claiming racism in the police dept. Our black police chief was pretty much helpless.

Wasn't it the Freddie Gray case (it may have mentioned already in this thread but I haven't read most of it) that triggered Kaep in the first place? The cop driver of the van Gray was in was black, but because there was photos of white officers arresting Gray, I guess it was an excuse to riot and cause 10 million dollars in damage to community businesses and injure over 100 officers. :oldlol: And top of that the mayor and activists told police to keep a low presence in the city while tensions were high resulting in a record amount of crime and murder. A double L. :oldlol: And then all charges dropped against the officers. Triple L.

Kaepernig knew he was never going to win so that's why he settled.

Him settling = he lost.

Ummmm...you just contradicted yourself pretty hard.

If he knew he was never going to win, wouldn't eliciting a settlement then be kind of a win?

How is a settlement a loss in a unwinnable scenario? He got as much as possible...and that was a hell of a lot.

The NFL offered double his career earnings to get out of the lawsuit...

He sued to be let back in or prove collusion, no?

He did not win.

The money is a consolation. It’s a nice one, and maybe even the prefered result.

But he did not win his case.

[Kblaze8855]

90% of criminal cases never go to trial and for civil the sources I find range from 80-95% depending on some factors. Lawsuits dont go to trial. Someone tends to blink and pay out or the case gets thrown out.

Ok, fair enough. Hey, he got some money from the league and now he’s rich. He won the, uhhh... what some people call “the lottery.”

Good for him. He has nothing else going for him as a person.

If that’s a W in your book then that’s a W. Everyone has their own perspective.

If the NFL really did pay him $80M, he must have had something really damaging on them. Like, the court case would have revealed something that would have cost top NFL execs their jobs. Like they used racial slurs in emails or something.

They didn't want the case to impact future CBA

2-3 million per team is peanuts to make it all go away.

[QUOTE=ShawkFactory]Like if you take something to court knowing you won

[SomeBlackDude]

Yeah.. whether a settlement is a win or a loss really depends on the circumstances of the case and the expected outcome. If Kaepernick reasonably expected to be paid 50 million in lost wages and potential wages, but only got 10 mil and a near definitive end to the possibility of any future playing time with any teams, I think that would be considered a loss. From what we've gleaned of the settlement, that's not the case.

there is no argument for this being an L for kap. none whatsoever.

all that is just noise by the maga morons trying to save face after unnecessarily turning a relatively obscure backup qb and his overlooked protest into a $100 million cultural icon overnight because their god emperor was trying to distract from one of his 100 million scandals at the time.

the purest of comedy. :roll:

[ShawkFactory]

Y’all can all have your back and forths on this all you want but the simple fact of the matter is that Kaepernick isn’t a thought leader. He’s an NPC that was programmed by the media to feel outrage about police shootings.

He’s not smart. In fact he’s REALLY dumb. Like arguably two digit IQ dumb, which most people are.
Who says he’s a thought leader? You think anyone, ESPECIALLY anyone black,in this country saw the protest and went “Oh shit, people of color are treated proportionately unfairly by law enforcement?!”. No.

The point wasn’t to create some new line of thinking no one had heard before.

The fact that you believe his supporters revere him as some god of thinking shows how much you really know about the entire thing. Which is fine. I would imagine it doesn’t really apply to you.

And as a side note...what the fvck do you really know about his intelligence? Have you had a discussion with him and come to that conclusion? You have no idea truly who he is or what he’s about and how he thinks.

The only things we DO know is that his Wonderlic score is in the 98th percentile and he was a 4.0 student in high school and college. Does this make him a scholar? I certainly don’t know, I’ve never spoken to him either.

But it’s certainly quantifiable and better measure than what you have, which I can only imagine would be a 10 second clip and a bathtub of salinity.

Thanks.

And given as much, let's just pretend for a second that he's really smart... ok... so that means that he's secretly agenda driven for reasons that are far beyond and unrelated to what he claims to have represented and what this was supposedly really all about in the first place, and everyone that has supported him got played for the fools they undoubtedly are... either way... lol.

So he doesn’t know shit about Fidel Castro and what has actually taken place between he and his people.

Calling someone on a hypocritical stance that they aren’t fully informed on does not make said person “REALLY dumb”.

The fact that this guy wrote an essay picking apart points of a stance he made puts him above many.

And either way...his intelligence wasn’t the point of my post anyway. The fact that no one considered him a god of thinking was the point.

The terms and details of the settlement were not disclosed but NFL columnist Mike Freeman speculates the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback may have received between $60million to $80million in the agreement.

'Number NFL team officials are speculating to me is the NFL paid Kaepernick in the $60 to $80 million range,' Freeman of the Bleacher Report tweeted Friday afternoon

:lol

Whoops.




Colin Kaepernick and current Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid settled their collusion grievances against the NFL, but according to a Wall Street Journal report,they will receive less than $10 million total.
