KAEPERNICK SUES FOR COLLUSION

[HairOfTheDog]

(Some) fans are strange.

Some of those same people think NFL stands for niggers for life.

You're trying to explain something to people who have no intention of understanding. It's their way or the highway.

I'm not really trying to explain so much as I'm trying to understand why so many NFL fans feel outraged about a peaceful silent display. Kaepernick didn't violate any NFL rules or break any laws.

I really do understand why some fans support the owners' rights to reject Kaepernick on grounds that pro football is a business and Kaepernick's silent protest offends some fans, which could hurt their bottom line.

And I really do understand why some fans disrespect Kaepernick because those fans project their feelings about patriotism upon others, or they don't think the social and racial injustice exists, or they acknowledge the injustice exists but resent Kaepernick calling attention to it while on the clock.

It's a little more difficult for me to understand some fans insisting that he's a selfish POS loser who somehow broke the game. I haven't seen any evidence of that personally. But, it's subjective.

The only thing I've heard and considered but rejected as false (rather than a matter of perception)............is the insistence that Kaepernick is a washed-up overall shitty performer on the field and that's why he's not been picked up. Every objective analysis I've seen and heard contradicts that claim. Whenever that claim comes up, it seems to me it's being used to justify or bolster the fan's animosity towards Kaepernick for other reasons.
