You know Stephen A is serious when he ain't yelling
Fact
You’re right brother, I was completely serious
@@stephenasmith4666 your the best
Sean Smith that’s not him lol
rustlecompton facts
Imagine how “oppressed“ this man would feel if he had to work for an actual employer like the rest of us. Nobody owes him anything.
But he's "been ready for three years" and "denied for three years". Clearly the NFL owes him a lucrative contract. This guy should keep on kneeling because that's what he's best at.
I would like this but your already at 69 likes
Lol whatever. I’ve been waiting for MLB to throw a contract my way, but it hasn’t happened. I’ve been waiting over 20 years now.
Bottom line, get a job Kap!
@@angelvaltierrez9349 My favorite number
MMA MMA Yep, it’s a tough pill to swallow but somehow I manage to accept.
QB needs to be a leader. He’s a drama queen. No team needs it.
The NFL and you are racist.
John6yt Keep leaning on the cry baby racist crutch
Amen to that
@@crucialvibe never played ball did ya bro?
HE is a LEADER. HE's the kind of leader racists hate. If he wasn't a leader...Amerikkka would not have their panties in a bunch right now. Go Colin no CAPS Kaepernick!!!! NFL is afraid of strong leaders!!!!!!!!! Duh!!!!! Shhhh don't tell the truth please bc they CAN'T handle the TRUTH😟😟😂🤣😁😂🤣
He literally did the most unprofessional thing he could of done
There's always 2 sides to every story, and there's the truth. Certainly days removed from when this video initially aired, we've certainly learned more than what the NFL, the media and talking heads like SAS would like us to believe or the narrative they're pushing here
@@theprodigy4202 you are totally correct.. sometimes I wish that they would just state the facts and when the talking heads get it wrong then they should have to apologize because they have a huge group of people that listen to them.. by the time he put this out he was fully aware of all of the things that went down and he still chose to talk this is and this is incredibly misleading.. if you want to get the facts of this go and listen to Roland Martin and hear how he layed it all out and then tell me what you think
The Prodigy So you’re gonna believe one side over the other because.....reasons??
@@TazCStorm doesn’t change the fact that the NFL had an open workout for him. They’ve never ever done that before. And once again he had 4 offers he turned them all down 🤷♂️
@@davestuddaman8127 ok.. let's get I to this then... The case ended like nine months ago... Since then he hadn't heard a peep from the NFL.. then they call him up and give him 4days to get ready for this open tryout... Does that sound like something not shady?? Second.. the NFL scheduled this tryout for a Saturday.. during the actual football season... Now tell me.. what are all NFL teams doing on Saturdays?? Answer... Getting ready for the game that they play on Sunday.. which is the next day... So how many teams would've sent a head coach to see him practice on a Saturday when their own the is gonna play tomorrow? Third.. in the workout agreement that they wanted him to sign stated that they wanted him to basically sign all his rights away in order to be considered during this tryout in the first place.. this waiver is not the standard waiver for any other players at all.. do you see anything funny about that?.. fourth.. they had the tryout in Atlanta... Where he is not from and does not live.. and they weren't allowing him to bring a crew to film his own tryout...? Why do you think that is? .. now there are a couple more "issues" that presented themselves in this situation but if you really wanna get deeper into it.. go on RUclips and look at the piece that Rolland Martian did on it... And it will really explain it... And after you watch that.. then come back and tell me what you think... I would really like to know what you think of that particular segment... Honestly... Then we'll talk about this more.. ok...
whenever Stephen A calms down and doesn't shout he makes so much more sense.
When he's quiet, he's usually as serious as he can be.
Nah
i agree. valid points
Na
Ya comprehension level just suspect

He’s spitting facts
Can’t help someone that doesn’t wanna help themselves
Truth!!
and now you know the facts Stephen A was wrong.
Kapernick has done more for the NFL than the NFLhas done for him. Players of that magnitude generate more money than they can possibly be payed. Whats should he do where a maga hat. You guys nees education.
@@ceasaravelar3477 No he hasn't
@@ceasaravelar3477 lol. Dude are you serious right now?? And leave it to a Liberal to bring Trump into his MESS!! But ok, let's blame Trump because he has no TALENT!

And leave your TDS at the door because TRUMP has NOTHING to do with him being a talentless quarterback!!!! I'll wait!
CK throughout the season: im ready and available whenever
nfl: ok this saturday
CK: wait, not like that
He sucks now, he wasn't going to show up a embarrass himself. It was just more PR for him
@@mightyoaks80 he always sucked
@@GameWebsiteBuilder he probably accused players of racism for trying to tackle him to hard
mighty oaks how was it a pr stunt, when the nfl is trying to control the narrative? You’re clearly a hater on many levels.
@@Renegade-jk4ux it's the same narrative everyone else gets when they try out or go to the combine. He said he was ready at any time. Saturday wasnt a good day for him I guess. He wasnt ready I guess. Bottom line, he dont want back in. He wants people to talk about him. Period.
Keapernick was on the bench about to get cut when he started kneeling.
@@flyingspacerock8968 Well said, he fooled all of us. It's hard to hide from the truth after Saturday now.
Flying Spacerock he opted out to get a new contract and more money. You know that’s common in the NFL and sports right.
@@mmbeas kap talent shows that he is better than majority of backups in the league and I'll say the bottom 3 starters. But to opt out of a gig to get more money when your spot was taken by blaine gabbert is unrealistic
@@byron-7331 kap also hasnt played professionally in 3 years.
@@migonzz you still cant convince me he isnt better than nathan peterman or mitchell trubisky. However, I'm not sure what to make out with his decision not to workout. If it was me and i really wanted to play I would've worked out
Usually, when you don't show up for the interview, you don't get a job offer.
I hear dancing with the stars is looking for contestants 🤪
Kaepernick would claim racism if he didn't get a perfect score every time. Even if he fell on his face during his routine.
Doesn’t the timing seem odd? The season is past the halfway point. Why have a workout now?
To shut this guy up. He can't throw. Not when there are actual defenders. Anyone who thinks the guy can throw is completely misinformed. Guy got a huge contract and then for whatever reason went down hill like a rock dropped from a plane. He had that really good season but he wasn't smart enough to figure out schemes and either he was injured or never really was any good. He lost his job before the protest. That seems to be the one factor people miss in all of this.
@@gutenbird ALL FACTS !!!
gutenbird if he can’t throw, just look at his last season. His qbr was good. His touchdown to interception ratio was very good.
They did it just to say they gave him a chance.
Ask your mom how I do With a name like yours, everyone else can see your maturity level. Tell us kap’s record last 19 games in the NFL. 3-16!
STEPHEN A IS SO RIGHT. EVERY HIGH SCHOOL KID AT THAT SCHOOL AND AROUND KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE THERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Of course. Dont give away your hand if you think the NFL is up to something too. Remember they sprung that workout on Colin last minute on a bad day. Of course you’re gonna have your own plan after they do that
Dee Brown he trying to get hired hahaha, do that to one of your jobs your trying to get see how it works for u..
aljanat5 just don’t take the offer and show up. Bottom line don’t disrespect ppl that are offering you a job
aljanat5 your a dummy. made no since we talking about kap not what u think i need sucka
kap is trash
"He's gotten incredibly bad advice." No. He's gotten incredibly stupid.
Bad advice? His girlfriend literally called the ravens owner a slave owner 😂
Can we get a one on one with Stephen A Smith and Colin Kaepernick?
It wouldn't end well for Stephen A Smith
Colin disappears for media
Not a good idea, mainly because Kaepernick can barely form a sentence.
@@deemays12 yeah, Stephen A would just end up getting stood up after Colin and his handlers backed out at the last minute

No. He doesn’t belong in the Nfl. There are plenty of college guys better than him.
He doesn’t deserve the spotlight either.
treydarling calling someone a snowflake when you are the one triggered by the fact he presented 😂🤦🏼♂️ what an idiot...
banditdawgs why doesn’t he deserve spotlight? Is it because you don’t agree with him
He did not want to get back to the league. Like Steven A mention, he wanted to be martyr.

*Stephen A Smith just ended Colin kaepernicks career*
NO. Kaepernick beat him to it years ago.
Both you GENIUSES are wrong.
Uhhmm Kap did that on his own
Russell Mack so much so you like your own comment 😂. As some personnel executives put it this week: Kaepernick is a “non-story” inside their building. “No one is even talking about” him or his workout.
But if Kaepernick was bad for business three years ago, why the sudden interest in coordinating a tryout for a player whose very presence threatened the NFL’s livelihood?
Why now?
3 words and a letter... Money, optics and Jay-z.... He gone ended his career with that self interested stunt.
We don't want Colin Kaepernick in the CFL either.

Tiried of hearing about Colin kapernick these dude is a crybaby
Same here.. Yet we clicked on the video. 😂😂
yet you clicked on the video? makes sense....
@treydarling I bet you cried when Nipsey hustle died huh?
🤔 This whole thing smells like BS, you don't see people sue their employer and really think you can get back in the League!
Except that Eric Reid who also sued and settled alongside Kaepernick is now playing for the Panthers, and has been for some time. So it turns out you can!
Anson Martin that’s actually not true at all it happens all the time
Anson Martin happens a lot my guy, in more arenas than just sports. Now deciding to actually go back and work there can or can’t be a good idea.
@@jgxxvi Reid was already playing before he settled.
Exactly, he calls the NFL racist! Now he looks like a slave going back to a plantation with slave owners LOL
I throw 50yd TD's in the neighborhood almost every night to uncovered receivers. Where is my workout?
Funnin Gunnin Colin helped lead his team to a super bowl appearance and has a career 72-30 TD-Int ratio
Grant Rosenbaum and the Super Bowl appearance and the season just after showed that he is a big choke and can’t make big plays in big games
You ever been to a Super Bowl
@Funnin Gunnin, why don't you send the NFL your workout video? You're probably better than some of the starters playing right now.
Tim Guerra I think he might be competitive at the high school level.
Point blank. It doesn't seem like he's there to play football. Seems like he's there to cause drama. NOBODY wants drama on their teams.
Signing Kap a this moment would be just like giving cash to someone fresh out of rehab. Not worth the risk, minimal reward. And my comment has absolutely nothing to do with the knelling. Feel the same way about AB
Kaepernick isn't owed anything. If none of the owners want him on their teams, that's their business. Pretty simple.
TF are you talking about, he won a civil collusion case against the NFL. Why else would the NFL put this Goofy charade on?? If they "didn't owe him"??? You dumbass
@@justinsimuel8414 If he won a civil suit then there would be no reason to do this. Unless it was ordered by a judge lol.
@@justinsimuel8414 - settling a lawsuit and "winning" are two entirely different things... "dumbass"... if he had "won", he'd be in the NFL and virtually untouchable. For you to pretend you know anything about the details just shows your ignorance as the case was sealed after settlement.
mike m look at stats again. He had more than one great year. Only really bad year was 2015. Even though he didn’t win much in 2016 and percent was 59.02 didn’t he have 19 - 4 td to interception. Plus didn’t play all games. Footballs a team sport. 49ers lost a few key players in those years.
Exactly
He's a liability
Jack Mathis
Colin Kaepernick is a good player ok.....but if Kaepernick joined the team would no longer be a team. It would split the lockerroom between those who respect the flag and those who don’t. Thats not how you win games. I would take an old QB who can keep the team together than a young one who breaks it apart. It’s why the 9ers went 2-14 in his final year even tho his stats were ok
Jack Mathis
It’s also why Antonio Brown isn’t on a team. Because of the way he acted and how he treated his teammates
💯💯💯
soupwizard whenever you work for someone you have rules to follow,he's a fucking joke if he was such a social justice warrior he would have put Nike on blast for their slave labor practices,he's all about that money
Jack Mathis so why is Eric Reid still in the league and not Kap?
I hope we never hear about this gut ever again. What a disgrace.
Kaepernick screwed himself. I don't know who his reps are but this is terrible
They are a bunch of white dudes milking him for all his money. Cuz Kaep so smart...
Its his girlfriend
This aint about the nfl bitches. It bigger than that. Kap is standin up for the ones nfl been holdin down and Amerikkka been takin vantage of.
I wish I could sue my boss and then reach a settlement and then tell him I want to work back for him again but I want the interview at my 🏠 not the office Kaepernick gave me hope.
lol, give it shot, let us know how it goes.
You act like this doesn't ACTUALLY happen all of the time...unions and workers sue companies and get settlements then get rehired based on their skill, actually most just stay hired the entire time with a good union
Your also not Kaepernick
Go ahead with your plan.
Look @ your made up name
Perfect analogy. You hit the nail on the head. When you're a mediocre QB the league is not going to bend over backwards to meet your demands. There is a reason both Eric Reid and Kaepernick kneeled and only one is still in the league. Eric Reid kneeled but he's actually good, that's why he still has a job.

Kap is such a joke. The NFL doesn’t owe him anything
Bruh you just blew your last chance at ever being an NFL QB again, good luck with Roc Nation and Nike taking financial care of you.
Bruh, Colin got paid out the yardies when he was a starter, the 49'ers still paid him when he was basically exiled, he settled with the NFL who gave him multi-millions and Nike cut him a nice check. We don't know ANYTHING about his business ventures and I'm not his fiduciary or accountant but I would risk my own rep by stating that he's financially set for life and this isn't about money! LOL
Quincy than that makes sense why this stinks of a PR stunt.
@@WallTrapMedia Exactly, Colin just wants a chance to play a sport he loves but whatever I guess
@@fastballfilms4214 the NFL set it all up, gave him short notice, planned it on a Saturday when most workouts are Tuesday, wanted to make him sign some bogus release forms, and take all the footage...I think the only one doing a PR stunt was the NFL and Kaep read all the way through it
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot nah you sound salty. You left out a lot of information that Stephen A. Said. And I’m 100% certain he knows more about the situation than you....
Colin had 1 good season, he just isn’t that good. That’s all there is to say.
Still better than alot of current back up QBs in the league right now.
@Pone Vongsouvan ....Trubisky is a starter, I said backup QB, but I would take Kap over him too.
@Pone Vongsouvan .... half the league could use him but that would be nice.

@@WallTrapMedia because they are entertainers and this is entertainment.
Collin doesn’t care about football at this point. You can tell by his speech to the media beforehand.
Its all about the moooney.
He believed that he was being blackballed from the league for reasons not solely based on his play. The other side says he isn't NFL ready anymore and that's why he isn't in the league. If you are given the chance to prove that you're NFL ready in this situation anyone with half a brain would want the workout to be recorded by a source that isn't the league that's blackballing him in the first place. Just following the procedure isn't going to help him get a job.
This whole practice session was a media circus because the NFL did that. It was out of the blue they decided to schedule him for a workout in a season where teams are set in stone. And he got a WEEK notice. Thats not normal at ALL.
tryna get another nike ad
GKero I don’t even have as much of an issue with him changing the location as I do with the way he talks and addresses the media. The guy has a massive ego.
I’m sure their inboxes are flooded with “Cornball brother” accusations.
At this point, if he gets signed, it’ll be with a joke team that doesn’t mind the bad press in order to be relevant!

why should they? It would slow people down to mention him.

The NFL would not have to worry about a lawsuit if they just would SIGN KAP TO A CONTRACT!
I honestly dont think Kap actually wants to be in the NFL, its like he says he wants to, but it seems like he is always saying or doing something thats going to F up his chances, im pretty sure he just wants to expose the NFL
AT Tatara he’s making too much money being a martyr to want to give up that status and have to play again.
I think he wants to play, but that NFL workout thing was clearly a PR stunt. I can speculate and say they weren't going to give him a fair shot, but the biggest thing is why wouldn't they tell him who he would throw to? Why wouldn't they let media in. It seems like they had something to hide.
Pr stunt or not it was his best chance and he showed he dont really care.
Lerone McKenzie exactly I’m glad somebody is looking at the big picture here. Despite what others says Kap is better than ALOT of these starting quarterbacks. Stephen A... can you really be mad at him ? He speaking for the people that employs him smh 🤦🏾♂️
Lerone McKenzie I think the reason media wasn’t led in is because they didn’t want heat if/when nobody pick Colin up. They avoided a firestorm that way. Besides it’s irrelevant about the media being present or not due to NFL scouts being there and Colin having access to the raw footage. As to why he didn’t know who he was throwing to, it is probably to better gauge how good he is as a quarterback and him not knowing the receivers beforehand similar to the combine.
51 miles away !!!!
That's not the same as across town/5 miles
srsly. what did he expect? everyone jump on board the starship enterprise and travel 50 miles in 30 minutes? sabotage is what that is...
Especially in ATL. That’s like a 2-3 hour drive😂😂. I personally didn’t like Kaps protests, but I understood his cause. Now I’ve lost all the remorse/ feeling bad for him. Playing football just seems like a little bullet point on his agenda
THIS IS THE BEST VIEW I'VE SEEN AND IT'S ACCURATE
Though I appreciate watching Stephen and listening to his thoughts on sports, I do not agree at all with his asortation that Kaepernick was blackballed, Kaepernick was not blackballed, Kaepernick caused his own job loss in the NFL.

He carried a team to a superbowl. Don't be the clown trying to say he was never good.
He was benched because he was awful.....then he started kneeling. He was not black balled.
That guy can't lead a team, screw that guy.
Colin I here McDonald's it's hiring.
When he doesn’t get signed he’s going to blame trump
dandrednell1 he does but he doesn’t own slaves or anything liked that. At least that’s what we know
They should have allowed Kap to have his own camera men. The NFL would've edited that footage to make him look bad.
Dre Mitch RIGHT... people aren’t paying attention.
@shane like uncle Rico
HE BROUGHT THIS ON HIMSELF POINT BLANK!
@Tim Smith, but that would mean taking responsibility for his actions. Nobody does that anymore, didn’t you know? Everything is someone else’s fault. Usually white males and patriarchy. Trump. Capitalism. Just something, right? Anything. Just not your own fault.

I'm keeping that one!
if he ever played for nfl everyone would boo that man
Why does he have a right to play? why does Stephan want to see him play?
SAS thinks he has the talent to play in the NFL
@Ryan Ziolkowski he could be a backup. There's no way he's worse then Mason Rudolph. But I agree it's too much baggage etc
@@BrandonLee-me8ux
Does Mason Rudolph have a complete lack of respect towards the organization that he wants to work for? Does attitude have anything to do with Ck"s issues?
Nahbro Bro I don’t think he is that good. It doesn’t matter anyway. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
STEVEN A! I agree 100%
Imagine me asking for a interview then 30 minutes before it I called and asked could I move the interview to tomorrow
He’s done! Move on. Better Quarterbacks in the league.
“Muhammad Ali doesn’t want to box” ~ Stephen A Smith in the 70s
Imagine comparing Ali one of the greatest boxers ever to a scrub QB who threw 4 yards in an entire game.
Its different. I get the analogy but it was a poor attempt. Ali was the top dog

lol and you are?
Kap needs to learn the golden rule. The man with the gold makes the rules. Period
He is literally trying to shine a light on exactly that. And your all mad at him for trying to buck the corrupt system. You all so brain washed you love the systems that enslave you and hate those who are trying to defeat it.
LoSt GaNdalF
You sound ridiculous!! Shut up!
Steven A. Helps structural racism work.
@@Gandalfmandalf the sad part is your enslaved to your own ideology and dont even know it. go make something of yourself.
LoSt GaNdalF don’t get mad when the “corrupt system” that he wants to be apart of doesn’t want him.🙂
He is an absolute joke and doesn't deserve to play in cfl much less NFL
Gonzo needs to keep it to the Muppets and forget the NFL.
He ain't show up that's why😂

I think the NFL scheduling an impromptu workout with undisclosed conditions was more of a PR stunt
The NFL scheduled a SATURDAY with 3 days notice, a workout where actual representatives who could make decisions wouldnt be able to attend because saturday is a travel day or those personnel are already planned to be scouting college that day, while denying pushing the workout back to the next week so the appropriate personnel could be present on such an odd day for a workout.
The NFL wanted it to be a media blackout, and have him sign his rights away to the workout so they could control the narrative and have no way to disprove them otherwise.
THATS why he denied their workout, you cant trust that situation AT ALL. It may have been a job interview but if you got an interview saying, come one time, dont wear any underwear, and sign this NDA so you can't sue us if we decide to buttfuck you. YOUD BE SUSPICIOUS AS WELL.
ESPN is so disingenuous.
If he really wanted to be in the NFL he would have done it. He is in no position to make demands. He wants to work for the NFL not the other way around. Oh and how did he manage to get his crew ready in such short notice huh?
That was the nail in Kaepernick's coffin. From the heart. Wow.
Stephen A your biscuits are on the way
Lol
Youre not Italian
MAH MOMMA BISCUITS.
@@ToneBaldino No..but im the son of a Don...now shut the fuckup
Butter biscuits made from scratch for the Caribbean immigrant!
Slaves: let's try to escape
Steven A: you're wrong & here's why
hahahahahaah
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Millionaire slaves.... must be nice
I'll take some whippings for millions
bruh....🤣👍
Stop giving this guy any credit. He’s a cry baby that doesn’t want to work.
Colin Kaepernick's workout looks like something that a JV QB could do
The recievers have a better chance of getting signed than Colin..
Steven A has a better chance of getting signed than Colin
Aren't you supposed to be training with your uncle Hector?
