I think people need to stop trying to wrap Colin in everything the nlf does.

Its obvious that the nfl wants nothing to do with him, so blaming hov is kinda a moot point.

If there is a legitimate opportunity for hov to partner with the league and make some change should he turn it down just because kaep isn't involved?

You can't have it both ways. He rode the Kaepernick wave when it was hot...now he saying they beyond kneeling like he was next to Kap kneeling. He can't grab the wheel from Kap after Kap drove the movement this far without getting Kap's blessing.

I always said Jays music came off as tryna sell something and alot of smart dumb nikkas that want to learn shyt from music instead of studying on their own on his jock. He was never authentic to me, even musically he rode trends all the time and took him several years to actually find his own sound. This what happens when u raised by a dike weak morals and principles

Jayz definitely moves funny at times but dude is self made. What have you done?

 

[Montez]

Fax, Kap has been silent for too long that part is getting a little suspect. He gotta make a public statement eventually

Outside of league mandated press conferences, when has Kaepernick ever done interviews? Other than tweeting he was never very vocal throughout this process.

The case was to be heard by an arbitrator. The proceedings were not going to be open to the public. Things were always going to be kept quiet.

What exactly were people looking for in an exposal? They think they had tapes of owners calling him by racial epithets or flat out colluding? He wasn't in a prime position. If he was his legal team would've taken the league to the cleaners. The fact that they settled let's you know it was an uphill battle as collusion cases typically are.

People who keep saying Kap shouldn't have taken the settlement never stop to think that there's a possibility that the arbitrator would rule in the NFL's favor. Kap walks away with no money, massive legal fees, no job, and the league looks golden in denying him employment.

Same people talking about not settling would have settled if in the same position.

I don't disagree and I don't fault him for settling. I always thought the case was a long shot, as the owners didn't have to actively collude to keep him out of the league. With that said, we also had reporting like this:

Colin Kaepernick's lawyers reportedly had evidence that would have been 'embarrassing' for the NFL

"Early on in the lawsuit, I was hearing from sources that if the case ever went to trial, there were pieces of evidence that would be 'very embarrassing' to the league," Ostler wrote.

This was backed up by NFL insider, Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.

"I had also heard [about the evidence] (pre-settlement)," Freeman wrote. "The Kaepernick side had obtained massively embarrassing information to the league during discovery process."

This is important because as Ostler noted, the NFL had lots of incentives to take the case to court and win.
"If the league thought it could beat the collusion lawsuit, it seems highly unlikely it would have settled. The league would have loved to go to court and win this one, especially in light of recent negative stories," Ostler wrote, later adding: "Another major incentive for the league to win the suit, rather than settle: A majority of the league's players — and virtually all of the protesters — are black. The NFL, had it won the suit, could have proved that it did not blackball Kaepernick for the crime of crusading for social and racial justice."


That info makes the settlement a disappointing outcome for a lot folks on Kap's side. Granted there's a lot of speculation and it's not my money to count. No idea what his lawyers were telling him either.

What other reason do you sue a business for? They denied him employment so he's out for lost wages. The objective was to be compensated.

What Jay is doing isn't remotely similar. Colin was wronged by his employer, took legal action, and received a settlement. Jay had no relationship with the NFL and had essentially signed on to be the NFL's figurehead to help clean up their image under the guise of social action. The NFL doesn't care about social injustice. Jay acting like this deal isn't about anything but business is a joke.

I thought the whole point of his movement was to bring awareness to police brutality not taking a settlement?

Isn’t Jay part owner of Roc Nation, a sports agency that has NFL players signed to it? What makes y’all think he can be anti-NFL then turn around and try to sign NFL players?

You can call Jay a sellout or whatever but it looks like Reid and Kaep want to have their cake and eat it too. The moment the ink dried on that settlement he got he was never getting signed.

Embarrassing info doesn't mean case winning info. Without knowing what that info is I'm going to chalk it up to his lawyers talking tough to front like their case is stronger than it is.

The league settling doesn't mean they thought they'd lose. Way easier to cut a small check and be done with it.

Right. I thought the whole point of this was to being people together and bring awareness to police brutality.

Instead people are making this about Jay taking money from the NFL as if Reid isn’t on a fukking NFL team and Kaep is trying to get signed.

Colin doesnt have the wheel breh. The NFL did breh dirty, he sued and got compensation from that.

If the NFL wanted him involved with their social justice projects dont you think that would've happened by now? Also we've seen hov do good for the people in past efforts, if he has an opportunity to do that now then he should.

 

[FS4LFE]

Lmk when E.Reid tells a lie

....again why is he suiting up for the Panthers?

He doesn’t need an NFL team to bring awareness to social justice.

He already has millions and support for a lot of people.

Kaep ain’t selling his jerseys from Nike for free though.
