Colin Kaepernick Thread

If that's what you believe he is doing "pimping his moronic slogan and brand" then I dont know what to tell you, I can tell you though from personal experience that sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes I say and write things that I realized later was a bad choice but never had any malice to it, just maybe this is what Kap did? maybe?

... as long as Kaep gets us that 6th ring, he can wear Carruth's jersey and have a selfie with the Houston tragedy in the background, and all will be fine with 80ncleats!!

Seriously? Strong Strawman fallacy. Where did he say that any of those things were ok? he simply said to get over it, Kap said sorry immediately and pulled the tweet. Probably didnt know the people died, stupid mistake yes. Does that make him an idiot? No.

It's like 'who cares?' Nobody has much to say about something he might have done right outside of football, but when he makes an obvious mistake, it's like a shark feeding frenzy.

Because that doesn't fit into the narrative that hes a swag lookin sideways hat wearin thug and positive stuff is boring anyway

Dealing in extreme exaggeration is not helpful. There are people who didn't like the tweet...get over it! People in Houston were very offended. Get over it. Thinking this over I would be surprised if Kaepernick doesn't send a boatload of relief to Houston residents...just the dicotomy of his being human.

But that would get twisted into something like "well hes only helping because he feels stupid hes not doing it cause he cares"......

You guys don't get it. The narrative is NOT that he's a sideways hat-wearing thug. Christ, I wish it was. He's not REMOTELY a thug even though it's painfully obvious he wants to be oh so badly.

The narrative is that he acts like a teenage girl trying to be "cool". He looks like an idiot--making up corny hashtags like #7tormscoming, talks about "haters" (a juvenile term if there ever was one), strategically positions headphones around his neck at press conferences to look cool. People do that stuff in grade school, and it's super embarrassing then. Even if he was 21 or 22 years old I'd probably look the other way or say he's gotta act his age soon. BUT HE'S ALMOST 30 for god's sake.

Any of my friends who root for other teams look at him as a joke. Not as thug. Not as a bad person. But as a teenage girl. And I don't want a teenage girl leading my team.

talk about teenage chick ^^^

You dont know anyone in the NFL to be acting like you know how or what Kaep does everyday....if you are upset at this..i wonder how you act at the dinner table with your family

NinerPride

Who cares what your friends think about the qb on your team you dont know personally? Cause thats something a teenager worries about. Who cares about his style? Im not sure how him wearing headphones around his neck makes him a girl, if anything its something guys do for one and two he is sponsored by beats by Dre so he is making money off of it so jokes on you.

Why is something another man does embarrassing you? seriously? Your a grown man, I think, stop worrying about how another man acts, your only concern should be his performance, and him not getting into trouble.

Dont want to pull this card, but I got to call it like I see it, saying he wants to be thug because he dresses the way he does is bordering on racist, its just hip hop culture, something he probably grew up listening too and grew up around. I think its pretty teenage of you for judging an individual based off the way they dress. reminds me of sh*t people did in highschool.

See bold. No idea how my opinion on a QB correlates to my behavior at the dinner table with my family. But since you inquired, I sit down and eat with them and enjoy good conversation. Thanks for asking!

judging by your post i dont think that its all fine and dandy from their POV

..cause thats the topic going on right now...judging people by their posts on social Media...and if you and everyone else is upset at this..then i can only imagine how they are every minute of everyday

So you're judging my entire personality and life, and assuming my family's impression of me, based on a forum post detailing my opinions on an NFL QB?

Just want to be clear on that.

That is no lie, but quarterback threads tend to get just a tad crazy.

I can not wait for the season to start.

Yea I agree, I have tats and dress the same way. I also have never been in trouble at work or with the law, I just go to work and that's it not there to make friends, I come home make dinner clean the house watch some TV don't go around looking for trouble so I feel for people who happen to look a certain way. My boss told me not that long ago that his boss from corp asked who the guy with the prison tats is? I get it all the time, makes me mad

no, i think most people are saying he's a very self-unaware person for someone who is 28....to post #justlivin w/ him shirtless moments after he just did a very stupid thing on social media shows just how unaware he is

its puzzling that he's 28 and like this....he's been raised by a good family and he seems to be a bright individual yet he seems to live in the cocoon of social media stupidity where ignorance is bliss and doesn't see the bigger picture

usually 28yr olds have this figured out

Eh. Not that I expect you to look back on this mess but I am firmly in the "Kap needs to act more mature and make better decisions on and off the field" camp


Edit: But apparently we are a minority. Most people are cool with having one of the most immature starting QBs in the league. Ony QBs that are worse are Manziel and RG3.

Stopped reading once you insinuated I was a racist. Nothing I said remotely implies that at all, and I'm not whatsoever.

I said it from Day 1 - he needs an adult mentor.

Still, I don't believe there was any animosity on his part - just a guy who should tune into the real worls nad look before he leaps.

He'll be fine.
