That's all the evidence needed.
And just because his buddies in the locker room did him a solid and backed him up to help him get another job knowing he was opting out of his contract doesn't mean he is a team guy.
None of this is political. When you are an NFL Qb you can't be about anything other than qb and the team. Comparing Chad Johnson to kaep is also a joke.... Chad was always about the team. And he played a position that isn't counted on for leadership.
Pretending this is political is nothing but virtue signaling.
I'll grant that he wanted to draw attention to an issue...but instead the media focused on HIM rather than the issue. Rather than go do stories on the issue they did stories on the guy willing to talk about it.
However ignoring that his teammates rallied around him is ignoring the evidence.
Tom Brady get's lots of questions about stuff unrelated to the game. Is he a distraction? Or does that not matter because he's really good?
Kaepernick wasn't the best QB, he ain't the worst available right now either.
Chad was a HUGE distraction. To the point that his own QB told him to stop it.
