Nobody is getting down with Kaepernick thus far

It has been a week since less than mediocre NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick went through a workout to try to get team scouts interested in his anemic ability to play football. He licks his fingers quite professionally, but that's about where his professionalism ends.

So far, no team has tapped him on the shoulder for a potential job, probably in part because he is too controversial, and partly because he sucks and has been off the gridiron for three years.

Kaepernick was a good QB in 2012, leading the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl that year. He also did well the following year but that's when he began to suck and his career unraveled.

He spent most of his time watching from the sidelines and became irrelevant. He was on his way out of the NFL because of his high level of suckworthiness, but then he got the brilliant idea to "take a knee" during the national anthem and thus created a huge controversy.

He believed he was "termination-proof."

While he didn't have a playing job, Nike hired him as a spokesman because the company thought his controversial stance regarding the flag and the anthem would bring more business to the child-labor opportunists at Nike.

Many patriots boycotted the company, but many leftist virtue-signallers bought their China- and Vietnam-made products.

Throughout the past three years, finger-licking Kaepernick has whined that the NFL is racist [like half the United States, in his doltish opinion] and has colluded to keep him out of the league--not the fact that he was as effective as a QB as a sugar pill is for treating Alzheimer's disease.

He has also said he still wants to play and that he deserves a chance. But he never explained why he deserves a chance other than the fact that his ego goes well beyond the reality of his abilities.

In spite of his undeserved narcissism, the NFL gave him a chance last week.

The garbage quarterback was provided with a private workout and interview to show off his talents. The plan was to tape the workout and provide every NFL team in the league to view it.

But Kaepernick decided that this wasn't good enough for him and he cancelled the workout a half-hour beforehand. He wanted his own camera crew to film it and allow press coverage. To add further insult to the NFL, the loser rescheduled his workout at Drew High School, in Riverdale, Georgia, miles away from the field the workout was originally scheduled to be held.

Kaepernick also showed up to the workout wearing a "Kunta Kinta" tee-shirt, a reference to the defiant slave from "Roots," yet another middle finger to the NFL and the rest of the country who sees him as a phony [millionaire] victim.

The NFL claimed Kaepernick didn’t inform them that he wanted his own camera crew to attend the event until the prior night, and they didn’t hear Kaepernick’s press demands until just before the event.

A backlash from his stunt ensued, and Kaepernick responded by blaming the NFL and telling them to “stop running.”

“I’ve been ready for three years. I’ve been denied for three years,” Kaepernick said, mistakenly referring to himself in the plural. “We all know why I came out here today and showed it today in front of everybody. We have nothing to hide, so we’re waiting for the 32 owners, 32 teams, Roger Goodell, all of them to stop running. To stop running from the truth. To stop running from the people. We’re out here. We’re ready to play. We’re ready to go anywhere.”

Even with Kaepernick’s political stunt, NFL teams still had access to his workout video. So far, according to ESPN, no team has reached out to the former quarterback. Perhaps they don't need the headache of dealing with his bull crap or perhaps because he still sucks, or both.

Senior staff writer for ESPN Adam Schefter wrote:

“The fact that the NFL tried to spark interest in Kaepernick last week, and could not, and that his reps made sure that video of the workout was delivered to every team, are just the latest signs that the chances are bleak that a team will step forward and sign him. Some sources speculated that there had been teams interested in making a move with Kaepernick, and could in the weeks after his workout. But nothing has materialized, and nothing is expected to at this time.”

Kaepernick did this to himself, although it isn't clear that he didn't intend to do exactly that. Perhaps he knows he isn't very good and his plan, all along, was to raise interest in himself to feed his narcissism.

Who cares? He's a racist and I hope he just stays gone.
