Now I’ve never been a coach, or owned a football
team, but I’ve always thought that the main focus of any serious football
coach, or team owner, is to win the most games that you can, all in the hope of
getting to the big one, The Super Bowl.
So if I were a coach, or an owner, why is it that I would want to, or
should have to, sign a player who not only doesn’t increase my chances of
winning more games, but actually DECREASES those chances. What, if anything, makes any sense about
that? And of course what causes me to
ask that question is none other than ex-NFL quarterback, and perpetual crybaby,
Colin Kaepernick.
And now comes word that apparently Kaepernick has struck
upon a new strategy for keeping himself in the news cycle. He recently hired well-known, and
particularly sleazy, celebrity lawyer, Mark Geragos and, together, they have
filed a grievance alleging that all 32 NFL teams are now working together in a
conspiracy, of sorts, to keep poor little Colin, out of professional
football. Now keep in mind here that
Kaepernick was a second-string quarterback with the 49ers with a one-year
option when he left and nobody has really wanted him since 2013. His talent, or lack of, is the only thing
that can be said to be conspiring against him.
So anyway, it’s according to this carefully crafted
little ‘complaint’ that all 32 NFL teams “have colluded to deprive Mr.
Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for Mr. Kaepernick's leadership
and advocacy for equality and social justice and his bringing awareness to
peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States,”
which he knows because it is a “statistical impossibility” that he has not yet
been hired by another NFL team barring some sort of a conspiracy. And I guess it’s as long as Kaepernick and
Geragos are slinging around blame, they thought it a good idea to aim some in
President Trump's direction.
Because this ‘complaint’ also goes on to allege that
it’s the “executive branch of the United States government” that is somehow
behind this vast anti-Kaepernick conspiracy, which is a “response to coercion
and calculated coordination from the Executive Branch of the United States
government.” So how is it, exactly, the
fault of President Trump that Kaepernick does not possess the necessary skillset
to be anything more than a pretty crappy quarterback? Anyone else would have moved on by now, I mean
no one plays the game forever. Which
would seem to indicate that this is about much more than just playing
football.
Geragos
also released a statement on Twitter, which read:
“We can confirm that this morning we
filed a grievance with the CBA on behalf of Colin Kaepernick. This was done
only after pursuing every possible avenue with all NFL teams and their
executives.
If
the NFL (as well as all professional sports teams) is to remain a meritocracy,
then principled and peaceful protest — which the owners themselves made great
theater imitating weeks ago — should not be punished and athletes should not be
denied employment based on partisan political provocation by the Executive
Branch of our government," Geragos said. "Such a precedent threatens
all patriotic Americans and harkens back to our darkest days as a nation.
Protecting all athletes from such collusive conduct is what compelled Mr.
Kaepernick to file his grievance.”
Geragos
added, “Colin Kaepernick's goal has always been, and remains, to simply be
treated fairly by the league he performed at the highest level for and to
return to the football playing field.”
Look, I don't want to shock anyone here, because I
know how many of you may actually think that Kapaernick is really a stand-up
guy who’s only trying to do what he thinks is right (NOT), but it seems, at
least to me, like that he’s in it more for the publicity than he is because he
actually wants to get hired by a team.
And apparently he wants that publicity to be focused anywhere but on the
fact that the problem lies in his lack of any possessing any actual
talent. If that means accusing the NFL
of being part of a White House-led conspiracy, so be it. Maybe he and Hitlery should work together on
the blame book he is almost certain to write.
I think we can all agree that no one has a ‘right’ to
a job. Hell, if that were the case we
could just walk into someplace like Trump Tower and demand some high dollar job
and then when we were turned down we could then go out and hire some bigtime
lawyer and sue those who dared to deny us the job that we thought we had a
right to. I’m sure Mr. Kapaernick, as
well as his sleazy lawyer, realize that there is no sinister plot afoot here,
the purpose of which is to keep him off the field, it’s all just a scam. It’s the millions of patriots who no longer won't
watch the NFL games who are the true conspirators here, Mr. Kapaernick.
Because you see, Mr. Kapaernick, it’s not the teams,
it’s the American people who are sick of your juvenile antics. And apparently there is a national boycott of
the NFL now planned for Sunday, November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend. We the people are being asked to boycott all
professional football telecasts. All
fans, all season ticket holders are asked to stay away from attending any
games, letting the NFL play to empty stadiums.
And it’s all in an effort to send a message that could not be more clear. So ask all your friends and family to take
part. Honor our military, some of whom
come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
If Kaepernick wasn't such a pain in the ass he'd
probably have a job, it really is just that simple. He isn't worth all the drama he brings to the
job. That being said, a few more
quarterback injuries and his phone just might actually start ringing. So, the solution is apparently to sue the
people you crapped on for not giving you a job.
What does he think is going to happen here? He apparently has yet to learn that the
world owes you nothing. He thinks that
people who think he's a turd still have to hire him because, why? Sadly, the NFL has met its affirmative action
quota for whiny activist malcontents who are also lousy players.
And you know, this guy is afflicted with pretty much
the same mental disorder that afflicts those who are proud members of the Democrat
Party. Because he absolutely refuses to
accept any level of responsibility for anything that has resulted in him being
in his current unemployed status. And
making the claim that it’s somehow the fault of the 32 NFL teams or, even more
bizarrely, that President Trump is somehow considered to be at fault, gives a
new meaning to the phrase, “conspiracy nut”.
Nope, it’s Mr. Kapaernick, his high-powered lawyer notwithstanding, who
has no one to blame but himself for his any of the troubles he is experiencing.
