Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has had a change of heart and decided he no longer wants to play in the NFL. This comes after several months where it became apparent all 32 teams did not want Colin Kaepernick to play in the NFL, either.
In short, Kaep’ is full of it. If a team had offered him a job with a seven or six-figure salary he would have played ball, even on the bench. He would have been dumb not to, and this is not a dumb man.
Kaep’s famous taking of a knee is the ultimate paradox that he had no idea was coming: Kneeling during the National Anthem gave his voice the pitch he desired but in the end crushed the platform he needed.
