Kaepernick

I wasn't a big fan of Kapernick on or off the field before he did his protest thing and even less after especially with some of the ignorant things he said although I give him kudos for at least going out in public and trying to make a difference with his beliefs instead of being one of these guys that runs his million dollar mouth then does nothing.
That being said I think I might even be a little more peeved at the NFL and teams and the way they seem to be blacklisting him, I didn't like what he did but he is a better player than probably about 65/70 percent of qb's in the league right now and nobody wants to take him, this seems a little ridiculous from a league that has given second chances to wife beaters,guys who abuse drugs, guys with dwi's and even animal abusers who have done prison time plus the fact that this is a pro league and if you want to win you should be hiring the best people available for your team regardless of if you agree with their politics or not.
