'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

Is it just me, or does the collective IQ of ChiefsPlanet seem to have plunged about 50 points this offseason?

You need to do some research on your own before spouting your yap and posting bullshit.
Research

Your bubble opinion is considered research?

Exhibit A

Exhibit b
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...re-id134414456

That is a small part of the crowd. How many are wearing hats or sitting down in these small snapshots alone. Crossing arms. Not paying attention. Looking at their phones. Etc....

people can sit, look at phones, kneel, etc......whatever they want.

I'll always stand, remove my cover or put my hand over my heart because I have honor, integrity, and respect.

if others want to sit, kneel, look at their phone, that's fine. They're the ones looking like a shit heel, not me.

And a good chunk of the crowd does none of those things.
You are seriously going to stick to this stupid statement?

No surprise.

That was poorly worded. OK, i get where you're coming from. The point is that lots of people break the rules on observing the anthem. Not that people break every single rule.

Next time you see this, ask them if they are protesting something.

Like yelling "Chiefs" at the end of the anthem.

Whether it happens is subordinate to why it happens.

People being too lazy, pre-occupied, unaware, handicapped, etc. to fully comply with customs of reverence or respect may get judged, but not judged in the same light as people who do it purposefully, repeatedly and volitionally.

Just like a trip and bump in a crowd isn't the same as a premeditated shove off a cliff, no matter how similar the actual physical contact looks.

The NFL will get a team to sign Kaepernick before this "protest" is able to take place and all of the pathetic losers involved with this "protest" will have to find another non-issue to create an outrage movement over.

Kaep opted out of a contract that the 49ers said they were already going to release him from, so no matter what he wasn't staying in SF. Meaning the team in the most liberal of regions couldn't weigh out the benefit in keeping him.

Supposedly Seattle offered him a backup gig to Wilson and he walked away from it...because whatever was offered was considerably beneath him.

Baltimore could really use him and opted for an IFL retread.

Miami was not going to bring a pro-Castro guy into a giant Cuban fan base, and instead got put over a barrel to sign a guy who probably doesn't even want to play football.

What team in the midwest is going to take him on and piss off a large segment of their fan base? If you ask me, if SF (who is QB starved anyway) couldn't find a reason to keep him, what are the realistic chances of any team taking on that sideshow?

He shit the bed and he has to sleep in it now. He probably could help a team. And if he really wanted to play football, he could EASILY get a backup gig, out play his contract, and seriously get paid after a year or two. Probably wouldn't hurt to kick Nessy or whatever her name is to the curb and get his balls out of her purse and back where they belong. She sure as hell isn't doing him any favors.
