Kaepernick, NFL Reach "Confidential Settlement"

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Fri Feb 15 17:24:31 2019

The NFL has settled out of court with former quarterback Colin Kaepernick, in a case arising out of the league's handling of the athlete's kneeling in protest of racial injustice in the United States.

The amount was confidential, but sources close to the case say it was north of $80 million.

I think Kaep deserves every penny.

Cool that he got paid, but why does he "deserve" every penny? Was his contract violated?

Actually, yes, contractual issues were among the things in controversy in this court case.

I think it's ludicrous that NFeLons can play, but Kaep got barred for taking a stand. He deserves the money.

I have no issue with him being banned for taking a stand. Especially since his stand was being taken while he was working and in front of fans. Neither you nor I could do that and no one would expect that we would be allowed to do so,

What were the contractual issues? I read that the lawsuit was regarding collusion among owners.

he took a stand because he was fighting for a QB position on the 48ers and Alex Smith got the starting position.

Had Kaepernick been winning on the field he probably would not transformed himself in to a civil rights figure riding the wave of #blm which peaked the same year he took a knee.

He brilliantly reinvented himself with the afro and political stance.

Why?

Players who abuse any make and beat up women are allowed to play. Taking a knee is nothing compared to that, and it's a civil right, not a f*cking felony.

That was earlier. He was still playing for S.F. when they offered. He decided to return to S.F. and not take a pay cut.

yeah, I find it funny that #blm type women will celebrate this as a victory yet anybody but a black female will have access to his wealth.

That's kind of funny. #blm ain't shaming him in to dating a black female.

Uhhhh! Alex Smith was already the 49er's starting QB. Kaepernick was the backup and became the starter when Smith got hurt, and eventually went to the Cheifs.

he was speaking out for himself.

He is in QB controversy fighting for the starting position and not having a good year.

The way people talk, a great QB was benched and blacklisted over kneeling. He just wasn't performing well.

He brilliantly repackaged himself as a civil rights activist in the year of #blm but he also helped Trump win.

you're right. It wasn't Alex Smith. It was another QB.

But there was QB controversy and Kaepernick was fighting for a starting position.

He eventually struggled, and was demoted to backup as Gabbert became the starter. Kaepernick competed for starter the next season but lost out to Gabbert and later in the season Kaepernick became stater again. I think it was the next offseason when he opted out of his contract as it was likely that he would be cut.

he did not "eventually" struggle. he had an average to below average season and lost a string of games.

There was nothing special about Kaepernick. He was not worth the trouble. No conspiracy. Teams move on. He was not going to make a difference for any NFL team at that point.

He rode the #blm wave, grew out his afro, and the black community won't even have access to his money because he feels every prejudice against black women society does. His girlfriend is not african american.

Can you imagine what he thinks about black women?

if Kaepernick was performing well he would not have been fighting for starting slot at QB.

Niners were losing with him and getting unnecessary publicity. It was literally a lose-lose situation on and off the field.

And he is a racist too. If your identity is kneeling for justice and you don't even have an African-American girlfriend, then you're a fake.

Dude! Do you even watch sports? Many have lost their starting position when struggling, and some have regained their starting status.

Kaepernick later signed a big contract with the 49ers which was the same contract that he opted out of. I have news for you... struggling players don't get signed to large contracts.

I don't care what you think of him and his protests etc. The facts of his NCAA and NFL careera speak for themselves. You can believe what you want.

yes I watch sports.

Kaepernick's performance declined and he was fighting for a position he felt was his.

If he was starting, and winning, he probably would have focused on that, instead of the political angles he capitalized on.

QB drama triggered his political drama.

Here is what gets me about him. He bad-mouths the United States of America all the time and now he is put in the top 1% of the richest of the rich just 4 sitting on the sidelines and not doing anything. So basically this country and the NFL, who he hates, pays him for the rest of his life. I said in the very beginning when this first happened, I obviously disagree with him but it's his right to do so, but they shouldn't have given him a dime. If he wanted money, let him get back to playing.

Collusion. Kaep was better than about 95% of backup QB's and I'd say a good amount of starters they kept him out of the NFL while wife beaters are offered multi-million dollar contracts.

Many rejoiced he didn't get a job in the NFL thinking he would struggle it just pisses them off between NIKE and this he's doing just fine. Good for him.
