Why would any company hire you after you sue them
They got sued because they were colluding to keep kap out.
A lil different he didn’t sue anyone personally just the governing body
Exactly
@@0P9ine it’s not different at all 😂 When you sue a company you typically don’t sue an individual you sue the company just like he did
I’ve never agreed with an entire Stephen A take but I do today
Kaepernick's protest was not well thought out b/c it had no measurable component. It just led to more and more endless protesting. Heck, "protester" is darn near a job title now. Did anything get better? We have no idea b/c no one ever presented a realistic target.
@@JB-ti7bl black people been protesting for 100 years. It’s time to try something else. It clearly doesn’t work
@@iHendew if you think black folks havent made any progress in 100 years you need to go back and hit the history books.
@@milkycannon444 that ain’t what I said lmao. Reading is fundamental. I said protesting don’t work. Show me 1 instance where a protest fixed a problem
That workout sealed his fate with the NFL
I wonder how bad it really was.
No it wasn’t the workout it was the lawsuit
Stop lying!!!
@@KeithEasley-vc1mb the lawsuit packaged it but the workout sealed it up just like Tarzan and Stephen A said.
@@Hawkeyes319 The workout was fine, it was just that he didn't follow through with the initial agreement. There's plenty of video of the workout and Colin afterwards telling the league and the owners to "stop running!" lol!
He called the NFL slavery, now he's begging to be a slave again.
I bet slaves didn't get paid 10 mil a season
Salves don't get paid 20 mil a year. Get out.
Exactly
@@matthewfrancis3589 and he thinks hes saying something profound with that but in reality its spitting in the face of the reality slaves had to endure.
He only braught attention to those issues because he was on the bench. He wasn’t doing any kneeling or fighting for this “injustice”, when he was a starter.
It’s worth pointing out.
For real. If he really cared about those issues, why not in the Super Bowl, the biggest stage? Nah it was when he lost his job and got a new crazy sjw girlfriend in his ear
You can't tell people when to get a message out. If he would have done it then, people would still have something to say. It still would have been an issue with people. Let's be real.
I said this in 2017 and I got banned from Twitter for being racist
Honestly I actually agree with Stephen A on this .
Same
Yeah man
Wow that’s a stretch 😂
He just wants to keep his name in the headlines. He does this every time a quarterback goes down. If I sued my job and won and then asked for my job back they would think I was crazy.
I don’t even think it was about headlines he just wants to play football. It’s very embarrassing to be begging people that did you wrong.
If he wanted to just play football he would have accepted the XFL or Canadien league. He’s been offered contracts by both leagues. I find it hard at this point to believe he’s doing anything else but trying to be in the headlines. If he wanted to just ball sign on an XFL team which has a solid TV deal get the exposure and prove to the world you can still ball? But he declined that opportunity and will only come back for an NFL job? That just doesn’t make sense to me. If he wanted to prove himself the XFL is the place to do it.
Kap sued the NFL, the league held a workout for him in 2019, he declined. He also compared the nfl draft to slavery. Now there are so many black qbs in the league. As far as I’m concerned SAS, the NFL doesn’t him owe him squat.
Keep lying.
@@Citrusbird386mad because its the truth. On his knees to be a slave for the nfl. Almost like its not slavery at all. Pathetic
@@AnDr3w066facts he's undone himself. He doesn't want to be black anymore
Totally agree, slaves never got paid millions of dollars.
@@AnDr3w066 he threw his own parents to the wolves on the internet for money and publicity. If anyone actually thinks he gives a shit about police brutality i got a bridge to sell you.
Why doesn’t he play in the XFL or CFL??
You know what crazy is back in the day when Stephen A was saying this you had black folks like T.O saying he wasn't black and now all of a sudden more and more people are starting to agree with him. Funny how as time goes on the truth always comes to the light.
That dude does not want to play football. He wants to be a Martyr. The letter was comical. He put references at rhe end, as if the NY Jets don't know his resume.
KAEP needs to HANG IT UP. Its been TOO long now bro.
This is the sad truth, not a single wrong word spoken by Stephen A. Further proof that Kaepernick doesn't want to play football bad enough - why is he writing the Jets to be on their practice squad, but not knocking on the door of every XFL / USFL team? They would LOVE to have him. Alas, he is writing letters he knows won't get answered.
He should’ve went to the NFL workout session. He did that to himself. 😂😂😂
It was a publicity stunt by the nfl.
*Meanwhile in REALITY, AUTO WORKERS, SCREENWRITERS, ACTORS, UPS, AMAZON, ETC ALL OF THEIR WORKERS HAVE BEEN ON STRIKES AND SUED, YET NO ONE SAYS THEY ARE WRONG!*
SAS leaving out the fact the waiver was sent 2 days before the tryout not giving Kap enough time to look it over. They asked for more time to look it over the NFL said no this was while NOT after the lawsuit was happened. Which is why the tryout was moved to a highschool.
Would he sign the same waiver for the Jets ? And that’s the point
Stephen is making a business decision by not fully supporting kap.
@@Mocushion4dapushn it's wouldn't be the same waiver. Tf is you talking about, if he was to sign I'm pretty sure the waiver wouldn't exist since they would be signing him regalardless
When you workout at a team facility or participate in a team activity…u must sign a med waiver…And you have to try out before you can sign
@@Mocushion4dapushn You must don't pay attention. It's no where near the same normal waiver, since they had legal issues it's other shit in there that needs to be looked over carefully not 1-2 days and being forced to sign immediately.
Colin needs to infiltrate the NFL teams and free the players stuck in the Matrix.
Who gets up at 4.30am to be in the gym for 5 for 3 hours when you jobless ? 🤣🤣 STOP IT !!
I really do not see anything wrong with Colin practicing with the Jets.
Besides with their record they need the help it’s not going to hurt them it’s just practice let Colin touch that ball 🏈 one more time it’s practice!
Colin does not benefit them in any capacity he only brings a media storm.
Stephen A still doesn’t understand that the league was using him as a pawn so they could win in the court of public opinion. If it was legitimately true that he would have to throw the ball in the stands to not get signed that means there was no point in having a workout to begin with. Whatever team that said that could’ve signed him before or after that workout with no problem. It’s not a coincidence that they told him to report that. That whole workout was about getting him to sign his rights to liability against them away and if you believe anything otherwise you’re fooling yourself
SAS already said that years ago the point was to see if he would go along with what the nfl was asking but the key point is HE IS ASKING FOR A JOB, they arent begging him to come back. If he wanted the job and didnt want to sign the waiver he would have made a public announcement with his attorney, what he did was host practice last minute an hour away and had a pre planned press release where he dogged the company he wants a job with. Hes a 30 something year old man, stop treating him like a child.
@@milkycannon444 just loud and wrong
Don’t forget he wore socks that showed cops as pigs
Also he wore a Fidel Castro shirt 🤔🤡
I think he absolutely got a raw deal initially, but at this point it’s too late from a football standpoint. This man hasn’t played in a LONG time. Unless he’s so,e sort of freak athlete, there’s no way he would be able to play meaningful ball for anyone at this point. Let the football thing die and stick to activism if that’s what’s in your heart.
He knows he’s not going to play again,but by him keep trying he’s making sure no one ever forgets what happened to him
We'll forget again next week...
What happen to him?
@@kidbuufatkid7287 He got benched simple as that. The league ain't do nothing to him prior.
What happened? He sat on his butt during the anthem because he lost his starting job?
Hren sued the nfl settled for over 20 million then got a deal from Nike to play a victim?
@@Michael-tc1dm he sat on the bench because he didn’t want to stand for that worthless flag in my opinion
Laura Ingraham : just shutupandplay
Stephen a smith : just shutupandplay
I 100% agree with Stephen A on this one
I actually hope they call his bluff so we can see what he does to sabotage it so he can play victim again.
I don’t believe he has any real intentions on playing but this keeps him “relevant” and can further his cause of being a martyr.
Agreed
Bingo. YOu got it perfectly.
He wasn’t “playing victim”
You're exactly right and that's why we will hear about this every year for the next 10 years when a quarterback goes down with injury. He'll use it to get his name back out there
@@glitbow7630he objectively was. He was a man that had a very charmed childhood to begin with and was able to go on and realize a dream that less than 1% of the population will ever get to realize. Then he protested a literal non-issue in 2016. The man didn’t experience a minute oppression in his life
Nobody with a brain would have signed that waiver. And they tried to slide it in at the 11th hour
Colin said the nfl was a slave plantation, and turns around wanting to come back on the same plantation, and is now desperate to being on the plantation practice squad 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jay z don’t have no damn power all he doing is picking who play for halftime that man is no mover or shaker amongst owners
You cant compare working for an employer to slavery, sue them, and then try to go back, like its all good.
People forget he started the whole kneeling thing by accident. He sat away from the team and coach during the national anthem that first game being benched to Gabert.
been saying this for years. It just blew out of proportion and he had to ride it out. Plain and simple. Biggest goofball and goof job ever. He was another "cornball brotha" prior to this,now he's Malcom X 😂 foh
Wow. I never knew this
I remember that moment but didn’t think else wise because what was going on at that time, but now from everything that transpired with Kaepernick over the years, I got butterflies when I read this! To be brutally honest, your comment is my biggest fear 😔💔
@@-king_ace_omerta_313_biggest fake ever. A lot of us knew but couldn’t say anything. Brotha knew he wasn’t about that.
@@brightkicks_ So hold on....y'all knew the whole time too!!?!? Wtf?!? 😂
Yea it's a shame since he was only fighting for what's right ....that's why TRUTH and justice don't exist anywhere in America
Why won’t he just play for the XFL? Show he can ball an they’ll do it. Why hasn’t he done that?
Because he doesn't want to play football. He wants to be a martyr.
And y’all was hating on SAS this whole time for WHAT? for speaking the TRUTH? When did it become A CRIME to speak the TRUTH? 😂
This is why Max is more black
His shoes might be black, but Max is not
Stephen you played a huge part as to why he doesn’t have a job!!!!! #Maxisblackerthanyou!!!
My question is what happened to the other two guys that kneeled with him. Never heard anything about them.
they’re out of the league too. I remember the safety Reid did get a shot w/ Carolina but I don’t think he was ever the same player
@@mrceazohawk Reid played great with Carolina but knelt every game and had bad blood with Malcolm Jenkins and it showed pre-game. Was last offered a Practice spot position by Commanders HC his former coach but his resume was one where he wanted to be signed direct. 49ers apparently offered Reid a contract at the same time the Panthers did.
He's leaving out Colin calling NFL players slaves to white slave masters on Netflix.
We need Max2come tell u about that waiver again smh
It’s actions like this that make me think he wasn’t kneeling for anyone else but himself. He’s a narcissist who wants all the attention and he couldn’t get it on the bench. If he truly believed in what he was standing up for and comparing the nfl to slavery, then why would he want to go back? It doesn’t make sense. He just wants to be in the spotlight and he knows it’s fading
T.O. Owes Stephen an Apology ‼️🤯🤣
I'm a huge, life long Niners and Kaepernick fan and sadly SAS is bang on this. Even I was so confused when he pulled the last minute try out maneuver stunt. I was like bruh, what are you doing. 😔
Exactly
And wearing a Kunta Kinte shirt yelling at the owners afterwords “stop running! Stop hiding!”…. It was just so obviously a publicity stunt for his “activist” brand
Good to hear from you again bro. Smith 😮
*Terrell Owens has entered the chat*
Skuidward gone fk up....😂
INcorrect!!! (Max Kellerman voice) 😂
I concur. One’s choices have consequences.
Lmao what did i just hear!? So NFL owners is the reason Trump became president 😂 that is lowkey legendary.
Yeah, SAS has told that story a number of times that Trump only ran for President because he couldn't own an NFL team.
You are being hypocritical. How can you sit there and talk like that when you know that his legal team advice him not to sign the waiver due to concerns about the wording.
Let's be real now. It's too late anyways.
Why is end racism still on the football Fields,, are they talking about black and white or rich and poor?? I'm confused,,
Man please -- Kaepernick protested for a new contract. Idc what anybody says. That is the truth.
Jerry jones kneeled with the whole cowboys team and nobody said nothing Jerry jones got a photo of him not letting black ppl in school during desegregation..that’s America’s team tho…
I was gonna say. Whatever you think about the anthem stuff is beside the point. That shouldn't have affected his employment. But when he pulled that stunt with the workout and basically ghosted 26 teams, he lost the high ground. If Kaep never plays again, the NFL is 100% justified in saying "No, we're DONE with this."
Spitting facts with nonsense. What a strange world some people live in.
The game has past him by.
What?!? Kaepernick took the HUSH MONEY from the NFL....its over for dude. This man doesn't even speak for himself, and I can't get behind that. Everything he says comes via 3rd part. Moreover, you've been out of the league for damn near a decade... moving on
Kaepernick sealed his own fate by not showing up to that workout. He just got too big for his britches and should have been a little more humble and wise.
T.O. Was right
Some people make a living USING THE VICTIME CARD....My kings we have to do better!!!!
Back up from the mic screaming like that lol
stephen snake smith is the king of telling the world what someone told him in private.
Lol you have to admit that it is some g shit that Trump ran for president just to stick it to NFL owners 😂
why you tuning in to a snake though? Only miserable people seek things they don't like.
try again@@-king_ace_omerta_313_
@@lazcoroner1483 how does Trump running for president Stick it to the NFL?
@atasteofreality609 Trump is THAT petty fr!😂
True. Kap became inflexible and you can’t be that way when you’re looking for someone or entity to give you an opportunity.
The only thing I can think of is that he’s run out of money and is trying to keep up his lifestyle by playing professionally again. I have no idea why you would want to work for a company that you called racist, sued, and got a settlement from.
he can’t be any worse than Zac Wilson, hell give Cam Newton a tryout too
He bit the hand that fed him
Stephen A be lying 😂😂😂😂
Seen this comin, and I love it😂😂
I have no respect for Kap. Espn turned off a lot of people for gas lighting the dude. Most of us saw through his bullshit.
I knew this after his workout.
why is this guy still news? it's hard enough to keep my interest in the NFL these days. the hell with CK
He's at the top of Americas most hated list!
They probably had a reason to think his workout would have been a litigious affair
I just think at this point too much time has elapsed to where his skills are not up to par
Stephen, he didn’t show up to that workout because he never intended to play again. He didn’t want to put in the work.
Dude was slightly above average at his peak...anyone who thinks he could still play should be tested.😂
When he kneeled because he was on the bench. And I disagree… the only people disenfranchised are those who vote for democrats or those who choose to be victims.
Imagine your “brothers” watching you walk the plank. And then do nothing.
It would take a festivus miracle for Kap to get back in the NFL
Steve is actually correct ...
I respect his point of view
Yea just move on bro. Try the XFL instead and be the face of that league
How about that commercial Mr. K?
This was a real take. It’s just damn he waited 7 years. WE waited. Hell Nah we don’t believe anymore. We waited for you and be came convinced you were never coming back. Now we don’t gaf
Blackballed ”unfairly blackballed, unjustifiably blackballed” he violated no laws, violated no league by-laws”…Stephen A did Ja break any laws? Did Ja violate any league by-laws flashing a gun on his instagram, he did not but damaged the brand of the league. Kaep tarnished the brand of the NFL especially to NFL fans that have no interest in politics or external affairs. When you do that it’s not in the best interests of the league to have him around.
Damn I was trading hotwheels when he took his last snap XD
This the type of shit TO was talking about
Kaepernick wasn't cut from SF. He walked away from his contract.
All that just to sign the same waiver… 🤔
Kapernick literally challenged the NFL and owners with racial police’s and WON! These powerful people always remember. Cold game.
He actually lost. That's why he's still begging to play. Yea he won the legal battle but he lost the war
Nah he was “black balled” because he was a liability. He chose to protest an issue that actually wasn’t an issue at all in 2016, and hasn’t been for several decades - then he chose to do it in a very disrespectful way, and did so on the time and dime of his employer. Any of us with normal jobs would have been in the unemployment line as well.
p.s. Hidden fact. Kaepernick wanted transparency (thus the video cameras for his workout with his own additional cameras for accurate narrative). Another thing new workout location was in route to the Airport so the 26 teams and members who went to the ATL stadium would have to pass by Kaepernick working out in route to the Airport.
The workout by the NFL came with bad blood and mistrust that was bitter put yourself in his shoes if that is even possible.
He flew to ATL for the workout he doesn't live in ATL so yes he was/is serious about an opportunity.
Kaepernik sure knows how to get on those headlines
After last nights game, the Jets proved they don’t need Colin.
Matter of fact, the knee down is a free Manson symbol 😂 , all apart of the script
Stephen, tell the FULL truth about the language that was in that waiver. At the time this workout was a top subject, the details of the contract were shared. They wanted Kap to sign away any rights he would have. They notified him with a 2 day heads up on the workout. He would have no fairness with the workout. You don't just sign your rights away no matter what the subject is. You think they were gonna be fair? No! Max Kellerman DESTROYED you on this subject. The stance you took Stephen was the reason T.O. said "Max seems Blacker than you on this subject Stephen A." That rattled you to the core. Why? Because you were dead wrong on your stance. You didn't sound like a black man looking to talk about a story in fair way. YOUR bottom line came into play. You had to keep the narrative a certain way so you could get paid. Sad, how the almighty dollar make people sell there soul. So sad.
SAS out here acting like he forgot all of the facts that Maximus Kellerman brought to the table when he BODIED him in the discussion about the waiver and the workout. It's straight up deceit and purposely presenting an obscured picture to present his argument in this way while leaving out all of the facts he knows.
😂
and that was the moment when SAS had murder in his mind and wanted to end Max's career
"IDC" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂....Stephen A.💪
@SAS Would you have signed that waiver?
I feel the same way. He sued then took the money. Now he wants to come back to the boss he sued
Dudes last game was January 1, 2017...what are we even talking about? He went 2 and 14 that year...if it had been 14 and 2 every team in the league would have signed him...your only worth what your worth, if you can win teams will overlook alot...if not then any little distraction just isn't worth it.
