#1 I never liked him. Nobody I know liked him. What is the phrase? Oh yes, just deserts.

#2 He pretty much blacklisted himself.

#3 It is not hard to get black balled if you are on your knees.

#4 A Kaepernick, Jenner, and Dolezal mini-series. A five year filming effort on location in Tasmania.

#5 You have the right to free speech. You also have the consequences of free speech.

#6 A) the QB is the face of the franchise so the embarrassment factor is an order of magnitude over that of a WR.

B) He never showed serious pro caliber QB skills in the pocket which is where you have to do it. One season of success when you were a sort of freak show doesn't always continue.

C) The draft is yet to happen. There is plenty of time for some desperate team to pick him up.

D) Blackstone is a race baiting whiner, a face of the new ESPN.

#7 Yep - bottom line is Kap is a terrible quarterback. He has no leadership skills, can't read defenses, passing skills are mediocre at best and he's completely whipped by his activist girl friend. None of those attributes belong on the gridiron.

#8 They don't need to. He is a crap quarterback with shitty leadership skills, toxic personality and lots of baggage.

No owner or coach wants that on their team.

#9 Yeah, we are told by PETA that white milk is racist too. Kaepernick is a bit of a misguided turd.

#10 Two points:
(1) He was on the way out anyway before he started the brew-ha-ha that made him a household name.
(2) He has an epic fro that makes me smile whenever I see it and wonder how it can crush down inside his helmet.

#11 I always thought he had the physical skills. IIRC he had one pretty good season. But even before his protest it was clear he was something of a head case.

#13 Hence Kaepernick's announcements that he'll suffer to stand for the anthem and that he's donating millions to various and sundry... 'charities'.

No doubt his agent is getting nervous.

#15 A quarterback who led his team to a 2-14 season and has been named as a cause of the NFL ratings declines...what's not to like?

#16 In the NFL, the QBs that last are the cerebral ones, and Kaep is million dollar afro on a 10-cent head.

#17 Racist NFL Blackballing Haiku

Not that I've seen them
Unless the league used spray paint
I'd think they're more beige

#20 So, red ink has bearded poor Kaepernick,
Who's snoozing, sub rosa, like Frederick.
Will bed-headed hep child,
Unwoke, get his hair styled
To match his less barbarous leonine rhetoric?
