If I am an owner I'm not paying him millions for him to be a sideshow for his own personal agenda

Wait what? 

All Uniforms are the same?

 

As an owner JR has the right to say no, whenever he wants.

Man, I'd hate to find out some of the political ideologies of the the players, they might not be on the team. 

You be great owner with a sh!tty team. The browns are always looking.

Exactly.

It isn't about that with most in here, though. Especially since Kaep is better than DA. They don't want him because of his political views.

Misleading and incorrect.

Be a commie and worship stone idols of Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung for all I care.

But when you go public with it? And insist that its your "right" to use your employer and its TV platform to advance those political views in the public?

Too bad, so sad, now you have opened yourself up for criticism and disagreement.

If The Golden Calf of Bristol can be mocked for his devout faith on one end of the spectrum, Colin Kaepernick can be criticized and mocked for his "Pig" socks. Especially when he wants to pretend I'm stupid enough to believe his whole "Oh, I really didn't mean it in that way!" cop-out (no pun intended).

Kaepernick and his defenders seem to want to award him all the benefits of the 1st Amendment, but none of the responsibilities. 

For some reason, some of y'all think the 1st Amendment goes like this:

"I have my 1st Amendment rights!"

"Yes, but... "

"SHUT UP HATER!"

It's weird that some people would have been more cool with drafting Joe Mixon for breaking a girl's jaw than they would be for signing Kap because he took a knee during the national anthem a few weeks. You know, just saying. 

Which people are those exactly?

No! Christians can be mocked at all times. Jesus taught this.

In this video he talks a lot about Kaep to the Seahawks, but he mentions the Panthers as a good fit also... can you imagine that idiot backing up Cam?

Anderson has won us more games than he's lost, and I'm pretty sure no one's ever had to dumb down an offense for him.

That said, I won't be surprised if we have a different backup next season (Anderson's contact is up, if I recall correctly). But no, not Kaepernick.

I don't care about the politics. Nor do I care about his past trash talk toward Newton. But the reality is that Kaepernick just isn't that good.

Unless we're hiring Jim Harbaugh sometime soon, I don't see a reason to look at Kaepernick.

You can quit with the, "I don't care about the politics" lie. Yes you do. It's why in every one of these Kaepeenick threads, you come in here with the same tired Kaepeenick can't read defenses line. You're just being passive with it. You do the same passive crap with Micheal Jordan whenever he's ever mentioned as being an NFL owner, by calling him a terrible NBA owner...and you don't even fool with the NBA. 

As for Kaep. He's won games for San Fran, and even been deep in the playoffs. Something DA has not done. He'd be a great replacement for DA, and better.

way back when, mr scot went all in on his defense of nolan nawrocki's infamous "scouting" hit piece on cam newton. reminder:

“Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup.  Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them.  Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example.  Immature and has had issues with authority.  Not dependable.”

 

it's clear you know the type of people you're dealing with here but hopefully this added context is useful to any observers. 

Oh, I know all about him and most of the boys club on here. I've been here since 2008 and was very active during the 2010/2011 seasons. You're right about him defending Nolan. I remember that all too well.

[Black&BlueBubba]

I don't see JR being comfortable with that addition.

What in the actual fug does somebody standing for a song written by a racist that some old guys in 1931 decided to make the anthem have to do with ppl playing professional sports?

Take all of that to the Tinderbox pls

They were hot garbage that year and he did what he was supposed to as a 2nd String QB. Come in there and be consistent and he won both games. At least he's not drilling trainers on the sidelines...

You must've had a real problem with Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, Lebron James, etc...all athletes who have used their platforms to raise awareness.

Youre right in that you're allowed to feel some type of way about Kaep, just as owners have the right to essentially blackball if they want. With that being said, I have the right to agree with what he's doing and come on message boards and defend him. I have the right to call out what I feel like is a player being blackballed, and I have a right to want him on my team. After what he's said, and what he's done to back it up...I'll back him up 100%. He's essentially kneeling and took a stand for me and my mines.

Calling Kaep a radical; the irony...

and you're right that there'd be a good portion of the fan base that would be relentless in making sure he didn't come here. There'd also be a pretty large amount who'd want him here.

He is not being black-balled.

He's experiencing the consequences of actions that HE chose to take.  

NFL owners aren't the ones who made Colin Kaepernick toxic... he did that to himself.

And, yes, you have the perfect right to call police officers "pigs" and support the people (like Kaepernick) who do. Doesn't make your position any more popular even if you have that right.  

You might be surprised by this, but most NFL owners like to and do have good relations with law enforcement and the majority ticket buyers and TV viewers that support law enforcement, rather than those that metaphorically spit on them.

There are 90 players on the Panthers roster right now. Do you know what all their political views are?

What's Luke Kuechly's view on abortion or Obamacare?  How about Greg Olsen?  What does he believe?  Do you know who Ryan Kalil voted for last election?

How about available free agents?  Do you have a website where we can check their politics?

No. Wow, why not? Shouldn't we know this sort of thing?

See, I know GJBC is lazy enough to use the old "can't win a football debate without crying racism" tool because he never bothers to even talk football unless there's a racial element. You'd be hard-pressed to find evidence that he even knows how to play the game.

Would have hoped you'd be better than that, though? Disappointing to find out otherwise..

And no, I don't want Michael Jordan as an owner. Neither do I want Bruton Smith. I'm not a NASCAR fan but what I do know about him, I don't like.

No, I don't care about Kaepernick's politics, his race, his religion or anything else outside his football skills. The same can be said for Blaine Gabbert, Johnny Manziel, Jimmy Clausen, Tim Te-bow, Vince Young and numerous other quarterbacks whom I've discussed at length and none of whom I'm interested in bringing to the Panthers.

Heck, if you check my posting history you'll find Derek Anderson is a guy I (strongly) didn't want either, but he's won me over since. Ditto Joe Webb and actually same deal with (duh) Can Newton. I've become a big Newton defender on here and it's not hard to find in my post history.

But hey, feel free to ignore that and go back to the lazy "negative opinion about any black quarterback means racist" narrative. I'm sure that's a lot easier than actually discussing football.
