With only 3 players kneeling and 2 of them are bit players nobodies it time try something else. Still think grassroots work going into communities and working with police and their communities is way more effective than just kneeling for a minute. Person to person actually has impact on lives and can promote change. Kneeling really has no impact.
If kneeling actually has no impact, Colin Kaepernick would not have become an African American icon.
I have never said they should not kneel nor do I care if they do. The kneeling has no impact on the streets of Chicago, LA, Detroit or anywhere else there on confrontations on a daily basis. Plus with only 3 non significant players still kneeling it is even less. After Reid's first week it will be a non story again.
For someone who is supposedly indifferent to the kneeling issue, you have posted a lot in this thread.
My posts were always about if Kappy had a right to kneel which he does. And if the owners had the right not to employ him if they felt he was bad for the bottom line which they do. Not about the kneeling itself. That is irrelevant to me. I mean I never see the NA anyway.
Social injustice and racial discrimination are not trivial matters. Kneeling about them in a way that is guaranteed to outrage people is trivial. Reacting to that kneeling by calling for suspensions and firing is even more trivial.
He seems jealous of this threads activity, why else lash out . I find this thread fascinating and you as the OP keep it on topic. Keep up the good work
Lol, I’m not jealous. And I’m one of the few around here that really like squistion. But there’s too much time being paid to this topic, especially by Trump.
You really don't know how the market works, do you? No need to reply, posts like this answer the question quite nicely.
So you dont believe Nike signing such a toxic individual could crash the whole market? Agree to disagree?
Thanks...good watch. With age comes wisdom. Brown has always been an activist but as he aged he saw the big picture as well.
I was watching the fda adcom meeting on webcast earlier this morning and i did see a guy kneeling near the projector. I assumed it was an AV guy. Now i am afraid it was kaepernick.Just hope he stays away from ACRX.
Yep. These things are painful. Can only watch here and there today, thank god.
Squis you post to the same 15-20 guys in this thread all the time but are you a community person who gets out and actually does some things to help the causes you post about where you live? Here it is just keyboard stuff that does not make a difference. I grew up in Detroit and still volunteer once a month for a couple causes in the city that desperately need people to help. I have involved a few of my friends as well. It is very rewarding and when you connect with an actual person and see that they really appreciate you it is all that much better.. Seems like you would enjoy that type of thing.
I'm not surprised he ignored this. I doubt he really cares. People out making real world changes aren't posting online 5-6 hours a day.
It was a serious post. Just thought by his posts that he would enjoy getting out there and making a difference face to face with people so when he did not answer in 5 days I guess not.
I know it was. Most of my rewarding volunteer and community service has been in cities that need it the most. I'd rather get out in real life to make a difference than complain about it online which changes nothing.

Bleacher Report (and most football scouts) disagree with you:
Eric reid really is just a jerk. Now we know why he wasnt getting too much interest. Jenkins handled it like a pro afterwards. Reid doubled down on being, well himself.Ramblin Wreck said:Eric Reid and Malcolm Jenkins fighting before the game. Can't we all just get along?
Torrey Smith did a lot to try and diffuse that situation. Jenkins also handled it about as well as he could.
Really bothers you for some reason to admit that Kaepernick might be better than any NFL starting QB. In this case he clearly would be, IMO.
My political agenda? Your only existence in this thread is to push your own political agenda. I have no emotion here. Kaep was mediocre and so is Bortles.
We’ll never know because he’s not coming back. He’s being blackballed; you know it and I know it.
I don't even know how to respond to your nonsense that a QB makes his team better when he plays well and makes his team worse when he plays poorly. No kidding!
If Kaep comes backs and proves his worth on the field I'll gladly admit that he's good or bad. But he sucked his last two seasons and shows zero willingness to make himself a better player so it's nonsense to me to say he's clearly better than Bortles, who went to the AFCCG last season.
You and guru have thousands of posts on these boards. Just think of how much more good you could do in your communities if you were volunteering more and posting less?*
So stop making declarative statements and telling me how I feel. Every other guy that kneels has a job so I don't believe he's blackballed because of the kneeling. I believe part of it is because he's mediocre. And part because he's not dedicated to football. But I do fully believe if some team thought he could make them a winner he would be signed.
I never said anything about time spent on the board. I don`t care how much time people spend here.
That's one of the worst click bait opinion pieces I've ever read. Jacksonville has a lot bigger problems than QB. The last thing they need is the Colin Kaepernick circus coming to town. Bortles played pretty well the first 4 weeks of the season including a route of the New England Patriots. QB rating of 91, ten full points above his career average. Better than 5 out of 6 seasons than Kaep has ever had. Truth is even if Kaepernick could come back and produce at the top of his career numbers, a big if, you would be just switching one QB out with another with similar numbers.
Why call out those two? I don't get what you were trying to accomplish with this post? I don't want to go so far as to say trolling, but what?
So you think he's blackballed and Wreck thinks he is just not good enough. Which one is a political agenda again?
I looked through @Da Guru's post and didn't see anything, @squistion is pretty good at defending himself too. But not a big deal, I was just curious.
