PACKERS LOSE RODGERS....KAEPERNICK - kevin - 10-16-2017
The most obvious move. Look, other NFL players are taking the knee now. Not in disrespect to the Flag as President Trump says, but to display in all the blacks shot and killed including the little kid who was just in his front yard with a cap pistol and gunned down by adult police, not one jury conviction in court ever. Now whites are allowed to have guns and the NRA refuses to hear otherwise. However dark skinned people are blown away left and right for having a cap pistol or an air rifle or BB gun they are playing with or buying in a store in their hands. Then it is said the police lives were in danger because their dark skin threatened them. Blacks are allowed to be shot by police because they have hood sweaters on and so the cop feared for his life. Of course the NRA and KKK and Nazis proudly defend white peoples rights to carry machine guns, wear KKK hoods and wear any hunting war clothes they desire. ....This is why some kneel. Not out of disrespect for the flag but in non violent protest. I will point out Martin Luther King was hated, put in jail many times, called a communist, shot to death, and during his funeral many whites said, " Haven't they buried that N yet ". All forgotten now that there is a Martin Luther King Day is that he was at the time hated for his non violent protest. As was Muhammed Ali for his non violent protest but decades later treated as an American Hero. When the black NBA stars were not allowed to stay in a hotel for whites only, Bill Russell and others refused to play in that city or have the All-Star Game there, which is non violent protest. When Negro League players not allowed in white baseball were not allowed to get food or use the rest rooms at gas stations, Jackie Robinson made his team refuse to buy gas there. Station owners needing the gas money would give in with Jackie Robinson winning by non violent protest. The non violent singer Nat King Cole TV Show taken off the TV because southern states said to get that N off their TV's. More recent, many whites still angry because USA elected the first non white President. The first non white President and his family received many death threats and the Secret Service prevented assassination. Many whites could not handle the idea of a non white President and that is just the truth and the fact. Non violent protest is not an attack on the flag, and just the opposite, that Flag stands for non violent protest and beware the day it doesn't because we have became Russia. So the Packers could save the season doing the most obvious move on bringing in Super Bowl quarterback Kaepernick, but in a USA that has many whites longing for pre Civil War days gone with the wind, I do not look for logic or common sense by Packers or NFL. I can't blame NFL completely since President Trump constantly attacks people of color and immigrants to divide and conquer for his personal gain in what he calls THE GAME, and that not one jury in USA has ever found white police guilty of gunning down unarmed blacks. .....So the logical choice for Packers is Kaepernick, but logic is the last thing that will happen. Look for more division as people long for the pre civil war days gone with the wind. ...If Howard Cosell was still alive he would probably again be insulting press and players of having dugout vision and blind to the real world. He would probably be defending Kaepenicks rights as he did Ali's and tell people to read a law book or the Constitution instead of the sports page once in their life. He might even again say how glad he was to get away from doing NFL games and how the NFL had no right to stop the USFL and NFL owners over and over move teams from city to city with no regard for fans. That in fact the NFL and it's love of the fans is a total sham. In early days of Monday Night Football stadiums allowed signs calling Coselll a Dirty Jew N Lover, and those signs shown on National TV. Yes, I'm pretty sure Howard Cosell would defend Kaepenick and say many an NFL team could use him and it is collusion on the part of NFL owners and just as NFL is wrong to move teams from city to city in total disregard for fans, the NFL is again wrong on this. It's very basic, equitable rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Equitable meaning basic rights by God and man can not take away. Yet the USA History of those words has a USA History of denying these very rights. The Emancipation Proclamation, The Civil War, The Gettysburg Address, Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball, The Civil Rights movement to end segregation, none of this should have been needed had the USA actually lived by the words Equitable Rights Of Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness, which is truly what our Flag and Statue of Liberty stand for. When the day comes people can't protest when denied these rights, then take down the flag because Russia won and we have indeed became Russia. The Packers and a few other teams with injured quarterbacks should be at least bringing in Super Bowl Kaepernick for a try out, but just as the years of whites only baseball, the NFL owners are engaged in collusion and I see no Branch Rickey with the guts to step up and break the collusion. Certainly Kaepernick could come in and hand the ball off and make some basic runs and passes at first and by play-offs be up to speed to lead Packers with Rodgers injured. It will indeed be the Packers or other teams loss who have injured starting quarterbacks but deal in collusion against this Super Bowl quarterback.

tl;dr the packers aren't and shouldn't sign kaepernick. Their backup who has been in their system for 3 years needs a chance. He came off the sideline not warmed up and played against a strong Vikings defense. The packers are going to sink with Hundley or Kaepernick.

CK filed a lawsuit against the NFL so no. They're not signing him.
