| Loud-Mouthed Stephen A Smith: NFL Owners Reluctant to Sign Kaepernick Are ‘Soulless Businessmen' |
| 2017-08-05 |
 [Breitbart] Friday, ESPN "First Take" co-host Stephen A. Smith said NFL owners reluctant to sign the controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick because of the backlash that would come along with him are "soulless businessmen.""The NFL owners who are reluctant to bring Colin Kaepernick on board are not cowards -- they’re soulless businessmen," argued Smith. "They’re scared of their bottom line being affected because they’re all about their dollars." Smith dog bites feeding hand. |

| #16 Steve, why not hire Colin (such a white name!) at ESPN and let him lend his gravitas. I remember when ESPN first started they were only on two to three hours each day Monday thru Saturday. Anyway we can return to that? |

| #14 Besides the fact that Kaepernick is garbage (Stephen's words for bad players, not mine), he will cause whatever team he is with to lose viewers and revenue. So yeah... soulless.... Kinda like you Stephen. Sacrificing everything and worshiping at the alter of the SWJ. Fuck you and fuck ESPN. May you all lose everything and go broke. |

| #13 Well, aside fro the obvious, who could resist a QB who led his team to a 2-14 season? |

| #12 Didn't he have a game with more turnovers than yards gained? ESPN is worse than TMZ, and nowhere near as credible. |

| #11 Even though his politics and not standing for the national anthem bave something to do with him not being signed Why shouldn't it? Remember what happens to one of us who offends their "sensibilities"? |

| #10 Are you suggesting, pater, that $$$ is more important than social justice? It's rather hard to provide any African-American athlete exorbitant compensation on a multi-year contract with anything else but money. |

| #9 Even though his politics and not standing for the national anthem bave something to do with him not being signed, there is also the fact that be fucking sucks. |

| #7 So, when, say, the NFL owners refuse to allow Smith to interview anybody in their organizations? No racism there... |

| #5 Probably hard for Mr. Stephen A. Smith, but did he look at the viewership of NFL games, the attendance at the games where Colin Kaepernick played (or showed up)? Does Mr. Stephen A. Smith even know the viewership and attendant revenue numbers for ESPN? I strongly suspect Mr Stephen A. Smith doesn't give a rat's backside about either of those things as long as his paychecks keep clearing. Mike |

| #2 ...Mr Smith does not seem to realize that the team owners - however liberal they may be in their personal politics - are remarkably hard-nosed businesspeople. They are NOT going to kill the goose, but they also have to take public opinion into account...which is why they let that nice Mr Kaepernick fella do what he wanted, and not incidentally have a lousy season or two in the process. The fact is that Colin has let his politics run away with him (not a good idea but perfectly legal) and let his skills go in the process (a very bad idea). He has no one to blame for his current state of unemployment but himself. Mike PS - there's a school of thought among the media that after a few QBs go down with injuries, Kaepernick will suddenly be a hot commodity. I hope no one is betting their house payments on that. |
