49erurtaza Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Off field stuff shouldn't count so no... But there should be some award ceremony with the Niners for what he did off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 0% deserving of the Pro Football Hall of fame. I appreciate his activism and his beliefs. That has nothing to do with the purpose of the pro football hall of fame. The nomination itself is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first super star QBs in the NFL. Its because he sensationalized the game that he is a HOFer. Without Namath the game isnt worth billions. However on the field, his contribution is minimal.

Drained Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Kaep will never be HoF, I would imagine the voters aren't all in favor of his views, trying to ignore political stuff but its true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no one is going to disagree with that obviously but the only claim Kaep has to the HoF is his activism. He still won't get in over that, cause I'd imagine the voters are probably not going to share the same viewpoints as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in favor of his views though. Say anything for sake of the money. Cause theres a sucker to believe it born every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) So why Kaepernick and not someone like Kyle Rudolph who has given millions to the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital to make sure ailing kids, some who will never leave the hospital, can be a kids while battling issues? How about JJ Watt and his actions during the Houston floods from Hurricane Harvey. And I'm sure there's 100+ other players who have made big differences in the lives of humans as well but we just don't hear about them because they're not political. I'm not taking anything away from Kaepernick. Do I agree with him? No. But I respect what he set out to do and has started but at what point do we decide which off the field actions are HOF worthy? What if Nathan Peterman runs into a burning building and single-handedly saves 100 people? Is that HOF worthy? It's fine if you want to do something special for off the field actions and maybe have a separate wing in the HOF for humanitarian issues. But to put him next to the likes of Montana, Favre, Unitas, Marino, and futures like Brees, Minshew, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, etc? No. Edited September 3, 2020 by Vikes_Bolts1228 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
