'United We Stand' rally for Colin Kaepernick in NYC
Surprised this didn't happen sooner.......


We're a couple weeks into training camp and Colin Kaepernick remains a free agent, and it's unclear if that will change in the coming weeks and months.
One explanation for Kaepernick's current situation: He hasn't been very good in recent seasons. Another take is that Kaepernick is being blackballed for his stance on social-justice issues. That's why there will be a rally at NFL headquarters in Manhattan on Aug. 23 to support the embattled quarterback, according to a tweet from filmmaker Spike Lee.

This comes three months after Kevin Livingston, the president of 100 Suits for 100 Men -- one of the organizations Kaepernick worked with earlier this year -- organized a "stand up" outside the NFL's New York City headquarters as a show of solidarity with the quarterback.
"He stood up for us," Livingston told ESPN's Michael Rothstein at the time. "It's only right that he took our issues in our communities and brought it to a national level and sacrificed salary and being ostracized by the NFL. It was only right that we stand up for him. I started this, literally, when he came to my office -- I was moved. I work with parolees. People usually want to ostracize this particular population. Me working with him on the front lines and him coming to my office, this is not the first time I've worked with him. So I thought it was only right that I stand up for him."

"We're not protesting," Livingston continued. "This is not anti-NFL. This is not going against the police. What we're doing exactly is we're showing solidarity to the league on behalf of Colin Kaepernick. This is nothing planned by him. This is all me.
"But I have to say, Colin Kaepernick really moved me when he did that for our community. And so ... the reason why I chose [NFL headquarters] is the league needs to see that Colin is being supported. And that we're buying consumers and that our dollars matter and I don't think it's fair the way he's being treated by the league. I just want to make that very clear."


Kaepernick, who played for the 49ers from 2011-2016, began last season on the bench behind Blaine Gabbert, but was reinserted into the starting lineup in mid-October. When it was over, he had started 11 games and completed 59.2 percent of his passes with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed 69 times for 468 yards and two scores. But according to Football Outsiders' metrics, Kaepernick ranked 30th among all quarterbacks, just ahead of Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brock Osweiler and Jared Goff.

The Seahawks showed interest in Kaepernick in May, and the Ravens appeared to close to signing him earlier this month. Nothing materialized and Kaepernick is still looking for his next opportunity.

Does Kaepernick want starter money? http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/s...-rumors-060217

Anthem doesn't equal flag dumbass. Politicians and law enforcement lead the way with disrespecting the country more than a player highlighting issues within the country. Thanks

It's actually funny to me that so many people are shocked the Phins went after Cutler instead of Kaep.

Kaep burned any chance in hell of ever playing in Miami last year when he wore a fidel castro shirt to a presser in Miami. That's either an astounding lack of self awareness, or a complete troll job. Either way, he'll never play there.

This is laudable but counterproductive.

At this point, with all the media attention, signing him to be a backup is only inviting constant scrutiny as to why he's not the starter, or what he does during warmups or pre-game.

The NFL may shy away from controversy in their franchise QBs. They CERTAINLY do with their backups. Backups make big money to wear a baseball cap, carry a clipboard, and keep their trap shut.

Hard to have any sympathy for the guy because he has needlessly brought all this on himself. It's hard for most people to sympathize with a guy making millions to play a game while they are struggling to make a living.

If there's ever been a more blatant and obvious of example of why you should enforce the "don't shit where you eat" motto in your life than Colin Kaepernick I certainly can't recall one. He should be used as a case study at universities when preparing students for the business world.

Ever since he grew that stupid Afro and discovered Muhammad, it's been clear he doesn't care that much about football anymore. His career is a platform for activities he believes are a higher calling to him.

Wonderful, Kaep. Good for you. Then don't be ****ing surprised if owners/teams don't want a distracted self-important gasbag to hold the clipboard, no matter how much talent or experience he may have

And what do they bring out when they play the National Anthem, you idiot?

Yeah, that's right, the flag. They go together. At Arrowhead it takes up the entire field. Neither the anthem or the flag has anything to do with law enforcement.

It was a stupid protest and your post is equally ignorant.
