A decade or so after saying the NFL was slavery. He's basically spent every moment since then begging to become a slave again.

Wants to play in Atlanta now.

Who wants an arrogant political activist as the QB/team leader?
I think he believes Atlanta might just take him up on it given that state's leanings here lately.

He doesn't sound ungrateful in that clip at all. He regularly talks about his love for his parents and what advantages he had given they were good providers.

Along with how they were racists. Don't forget that part. But you regularly ignore inconvenient facts.

Kaepernick is and always was about the attention. He'll be talking about the NFL as long as someone will write another article about him.

Yeah, I didn't pick up a ton of gratitude in the clip. He at least didn't lead with gratitude. Basically "they were inherently racist but they did buy me a black doll."

I think the best use of our time is opening a betting pool as to how long it is before Kaepernick DOESN'T put out a statement that hes ready to play the current season.

He is too old, why would a team take a chance on him when they can get younger, better players who do not have a ton of baggage?

Atlanta is such a poorly run team, they would be the most likely place that would hire a cancer like him.

He would be a good publicity stunt for a struggling team.

Otherwise, he's 38 and hasn't played football for 10 years. And he doesn't really want to.

Back in 2019, the NFL arranged a tryout for him at the Falcon's facility with up to 25 NFL teams expected to attend. Kaepernick's camp wanted his own film crew to have access to the event which the NFL wouldn't allow, so his camp moved the tryout to a high school.

But the cat was out of the bag that he only wanted to use the fight to get back into the NFL to boost his following. A small handful of teams bothered going to the relocated tryout.

He was a disgrace years ago, still is. NBC had him on the Today show recently. That tells you a lot about that network.

So his parents didn’t watch Straight Outta Compton I guess. If people aren’t supposed to stereotype based on color, why are the media and all these activist so quick to say black culture. What is black culture? According to the Bible, we’re all made in God‘s image. I find Kaepernick comments hilarious since he’s trying to explain two people who were trying to make him not feel remotely uncomfortable about anything. Sounds like two parents, loving, and catering to the myth of all the stereotypes.

I’m now a fan of his parents and continue to be a non-fan of his

I still want his photo in every dictionary beside the word DUMBASS.

He's one of stupidest, most entitled pricks to ever walk the earth. Other than that I'm sure he's nice guy.

I'm not a fan, but I'd like a team to give him a shot. Let him put up or shut up.
