Jay Cutler signs with Dolphins

[ShrubDog]

Kap grew up with a silver spoon and acted like a brat. He is toxic to a locker room and the owners will not touch him.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Pretty much sums it up, the greater majority obviously didn't like the action. Navigating to the business of football part of it......

Teams don't want to re-org their offense for a backup. Ala tebow.
the locker room is going to be split whereever he goes...locker room issues can kill a team.
they're afraid of the fan reaction
Or some owners just don't want anything to do with the drama. Not worth it unless he is a no doubt starter

 

[EurekaDog]

I guess CK never considered the CFL is the appropriate arena for his skills.

He could campaign (take a knee during the singing of Canada's national anthem) for the treatment of "Native Americans" by the Canadian gov't.

BTW, if the paleoanthropologists are correct, the "Native Americans" came from Asia... where their ancestors (according to the paleoanthropologists) came from Africa or Asia.

Tebow > Cutler > Kaepernick

Totally valid opinion. But if he were better, he'd be on a roster.

He can stage a tame protest against racial profiling or whatever by kneeling. I don't support it, but I also don't think it's a big deal whatsoever.

The main reason he's not on a roster is because he's okay at best, and appears to be a diva instead of a hard worker. If you're really good, you can be a diva and a political activist and still play football. If you're not really good, nobody wants to deal with your baggage. Lefties trying to shame the NFL for nobody signing him is equally as bad as righties acting like he's burning American flags. I'm just tired of hearing people from both sides bring him up all the time.

I don't know why so many people hate on peaceful protest.

It's a really important part of the first amendment, regardless of whether we're talking about an athlete or anyone else. People pushing for change within our country/government happens because they don't want to leave the country, they want to make the country better.

 

[ShrubDog]

People are not hating on him for peacefully protesting. They are hating on him for doing it on the clock, on national television, disrespectfing the lives sacrificed for him to make millions of dollars, wearing a communist tee shirt during an interview, supporting BLM who is basically a terrorist organization, who claims a cop killing FBI top 10 most wanted fugitive as their inspiration.

Those are some of his issues.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Kaepernick turned down at least one NFL offer to play up the Race Card.
He was hoping to get a better deal somewhere.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

His girl friend is the problem.

To call his potential boss a "slave master" on the radio while Kap is interviewing is probably not helping him find a job

 

[Chesusdog]

Not really sure why the media is hung up on Kapernick. He's not very good and teams don't like distractions. The same two reasons Tebow couldn't keep a job in the league.

 

[Xenomorph]

Because it's controversial which makes it good for business.

 

[patdog]

Kaepernick turned down at least one NFL offer to play up the Race Card.

This confirms what I've suspected all along. He doesn't want to play in the NFL. He wants to be a martyr. Worst case of "white guilt" I've ever seen (even though he's black, he was raised by white parents).

Not that I agree with his protest or the manner he went about it but I think people sacrificed their lives so he could have the freedom to make that protest.

 

[BossDawg78]

Could you please explain your logic behind this incredibly idiotic statement?

Seriously? Granted, Kaepernick certainly has the right to express his opinions, but all he has done is basically take a dump on America, our citizens and our system of government...without once being grateful for the huge opportunities he's taken advantage of while living here...and you need an explanation of WTD's "logic"?

Evidently you think Kaepernick is the only person here with the right to complain. How is WTD's statement "incredibly idiotic" but CK's is apparently ok?

Well, Kaepernick and others like him are actually pushing for socialism, which certainly wouldn't make this country better. Here in the US, presently, protest and push for change (much of it anyway) is no longer about legitimate improvement for the country as a whole. It's become a crutch for small categories of people to just try and get what THEY want and a way to stir up a bunch of drama.

But yes, still, they have the right to do that.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Nobody is hating

on him for "peaceful protest", well at least not me.

People are hating on him for his ridiculous viewpoints.

I'm sure supporting Castro as a "humans' rights activist" in Miami will go over real well.****

 

[Hump4Hoops]

You could apply this to so many movements throughout history.

It's become a crutch for small categories of people to just try and get what THEY want and a way to stir up a bunch of drama

I'm not saying every fight is the same, but there's always people that belittle someone else's fight because they already got theirs.

 

[ShrubDog]

Wearing pig cop socks invites belittling.

If not for

because it's disrespectful, then for the fact it supports some false narrative of rampant, systematic racism across police stations nationwide.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I don't disagree on him specifically. He's an attention *****.
