Herbivore 905 Posted February 15, 2019 oh yeah, this the thing that signals he is no longer into playing. He made what, 60 something million playing and still has big endorsements. He should be looking to play in a B league for 80k a year. I get you schmoes don't like him, but make better arguments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get you schmoes don't like him, but make better arguments. the argument has been made that he isn't good enough to prove he is worth the distraction. So go out there and prove you are worth the distraction, he goes out and tears the league up and just plays football and someone would give him a shot even this story is more look at me from Kap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted February 15, 2019 But, can he still whine about being mistreated? Can he kneel somewhere as if there is still some mysterious plan to harm AA's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbivore 905 Posted February 15, 2019 could be from Kaep, but makes more sense if it is from AAF...they need all the press they can get. I hear ya, but I don't think I would do it if I was him. He deserves a shot at a camp, not JV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I ran the waffle House, we had a homeless guy that would always hang out in the parking lot begging. I told him I'd give him a meal to go if he'd move along. Guess what happened? Now we had lots of homeless guys coming by asking for free food. If the NFL caves here, every washed up never was black player will scream "blackballed" and look for a check. He has to prove collision. He can't. Pound sand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not necessarily, if they thought the months of bad PR during a trial would cost them more in the long run. Hell, legal fees alone would cost a good chunk of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The costs of fighting. Along with the potentIal future losses, and you actually win In the long run. Only bad part Is. If you settle, then In the court of public opinion, you look guilty.

A second part of settling is now Kaepernick has to live up to his side of the settlement. Which means shutting up. His followers are going to ne disappointed.

And he could be up shits creek. I wonder how long It'll take for those followers to start yelling sell out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 3,979 Posted February 16, 2019 80/32 = 2.5 mil/owner. This was a nuisance payoff because there was some dirty laundry he got in discovery they don't want released. Nothing that would necessarily win him the case but internal workings they don't want publicized. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major difference between taking Brady to court over alleged cheating and the Kaep situation. Brady doesn't have knee jerk hashtag movements in his corner. "Cheating Lives Matter! " just doesn't carry the same PR nightmare for the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
