Colin Kaepernick’s latest comments on returning to the NFL are sparking questions based on the 34-year-old’s longstanding message that the League is racist.
As relayed by OutKick’s Anthony Farris, former 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick appeared on Brandon Marshall’s I Am Athlete podcast and delivered a radically different message about the NFL.
“I know I have to find my way back in. So, if I have to come in as a backup, that’s fine,” Kaepernick said, despite claiming he’s par to be a bona fide starter.
OutKick founder Clay Travis detailed how Kaepernick’s message as a political activist is essentially canceled now that he’s down on one knee for a third-string role.
“This comes just six months after Colin Kaepernick equated the NFL with slavery in his Netflix special,” Clay said on Monday’s episode of OutKick the Show.
“I wonder why his tune has changed so substantially in such short order. … What is going on that Colin Kaepernick is suddenly begging so aggressively for a backup job in the NFL.
“I kind of welcome it because his martyrdom is over. Colin Kaepernick doesn’t matter anymore if he’s standing on a sideline holding a clipboard; not even good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, which is where I think his skill set would be.”

Nike must be trimming the fat now that the free guv’mint money has stopped and they need to compete to try to get their market share back… Kap was a terrible advertising campaign and NKE has performed miserably for the past few years. Nike marketing strategy: “Sell cheap crap for way too much.”
you mean:
“Trick dumb people into buying cheap crap for way too much.”
KP got his payday and that payday is now over. Now all is left is to try to beef up his pension with more service time.
One more thing….plus, this story gets KP back in the news and talked about for another sports news round. If KP does not get signed, there will be even ANOTHER news round down the road.
No team will sign this guy unless it’s a publicity stunt. The Commandos need some “good” press from the groveling liberal media, so here is your chance, Danny Boy.
