Unless, as some media outlets are questioning, it's got nothing to do with football.
Distractions have a huge impact on football. Kaepernick would be a huge distraction. It's not just the kneeling during the anthem, he's contributed to being a distraction in other ways, like wearing socks depicting police officers as pigs and making anti-LEO statements. Also, not all the distractions will come from detractors, Kaepernick's defenders will be out in full force and volume as well. Others have made this point, Kaepernick thinks he's a starter and deserves starter money. If this were not the case then he'd be on Seattle's roster right now. Kaepernick is too inconsistent to be a viable long term starter. You add all these issues up and you get someone who is going to watch next season on a couch.
Sign a prove contract and prove it, otherwise shut up (Kaepernick not you).
