You want a job, you show up with the employer arranges the interview! So this doesn't change that it was a last minute sloppy job done by the NFL. If they didn't actually want to give him a chance then they should have left the entire thing alone then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get to dictate your interview with your potential employer. That’s the way life goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith suggested he was going to get signed, it was imminent if he put on a good work out. You suggesting they 'didn't want to give him a chance' is complete unmitigated bull****! He's said all along he was in football shape and ready to go at a moments notice. This was his moment and he played diva. The NFL called his bluff and exposed him, BIG TIME!

You want a job, you show up with the employer arranges the interview! I’m of the mindset he absolutely should’ve showed up but you can’t compare this to any other job interview or even any other workout. There’s at least some reason to believe that the NFL putting this together is a PR stunt, along with Kaepernick being a controversial figure that already tried suing the league. This isn’t like “show up at 4PM for your job interview”. Even using past workouts as precedent, they’re usually done on different days and in advance. I think Kaepernick has/had an opportunity here but it’s not like the NFL was really accommodating - not that they have an obligation to be, but again, it’s not like any other interview. Pretty odd why the league had zero flexibility with the date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaepernick has already sued the NFL and was paid off. The NFL has no more legal liability regarding him. They paid him already. The fact they arranged it and he didn't show up is prove of what most have known all along, he doesn't want to play and has found a way, to exploit his 'oppression' financially better than if he were playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Didn't realize that there was a bigger legality issue with the waiver or that he could sue them again. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/16/nfl-tried-to-put-colin-kaepernick-in-legal-checkmate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - that still doesn’t make this a run of the mill job interview or a NFL workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has been out of the league for 3 years and let's not forget it was his doing. He OPTED OUT of his contract with San Francisco, not the other way around. Just because of his past doesn't mean crap. When has the NFL EVER done what they were doing for Kaepernick? Name one time. I'll wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also guarantee you the owners, who were sued once, are smart enough not to have done anything that can be proven in court regarding Kaepernick. This is all pure speculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 If the NFL allows NIKE any sponsorship opportunities going forward they are stupid and will get what they deserve. They are driving an anti-NFL narrative with this Kaepernick bull****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
