Colin Kaepernick is a walking contradiction whose empty activism is not rooted in reality, writes ZacharyFaria. 'Kaepernick has made a very lucrative career out of doing nothing. The NFL will probably just let him stay there.'
Kaepernick is once again lobbying for a contract from the league he compared to slavery. He has now said he would happily play as a backup and that he is incredibly popular. “So if you're talking about the business side, it makes sense. If you're talking about the playing side, let me compete,” Kaepernick said in an interview. “You can evaluate me from there.”
Young thinks this is quite the masterstroke. If the “NFL team owner class” actually cared about racism, the league would have condemned the entire state of Arizona over its voter laws, as well as several other states, including Texas and Georgia, presumably. And “were all members of the owner class actually committed to winning, one of them would have signed Kaepernick years ago,” she said.First, the NFL doesn’t need Kaepernick to make money.
And, of course, the only thing the “owner class” cares about is winning. That’s precisely why Kaepernick isn’t on a roster. In 2015, he graded out as the second-worst passer in the league. In 2016, he was the worst. He then priced himself out of a chance to play for the Denver Broncos. He was a already backup-caliber player when he last played in 2016.
