Colin Kaepernick Embarrassed Himself Again…

former quarterback Colin Kaepernick still thinks he's going to make a comeback in the NFL almost a decade since his last game will we see you play NFL again we're still training still pushing we just got to get one of these team owners to open up would love to be out there but maybe he's right because there's one clear path for him to reunite with an old friend this year who's an NFL head coach if you're watching this video most of you know that Colin Kaepernick was drafted in the second round in the 2011 Draft by head coach of the San Francisco 49ers Jim Harbaugh Kaepernick would reach the highest point of his career in the 2012 season where him and the San Francisco 49ers would play the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl this era was a great era for Jim Harbaugh and Colin Kaepernick as they appeared in multiple NFC championship games even in 2013 however the San Francisco 49ers were on a downward Trend in 2014 ending in an 8-8 record lead leading to Jim Harbaugh being fired and going off to coach college football at the University of Michigan and ever since Jim Harbaugh has been out of Kaepernick's career it has gone downhill for this quarterback Kaepernick struggled under new head coach Jim tomsula and he went on injured reserve in November of 2015 requiring shoulder surgery but hey the guy was having a awful year statistically anyways so after the 2015 season with a brand new head coach that was not Jim Harbaugh Kaepernick was so frustrated that he demanded a trade but in 2014 Harbaugh's final year Kaepernick had just signed a fat contract a six-year deal with $54 million in guarantees there was no way the San Francisco 49ers were going to let him go even though they let Jim tomsula go after the 2015 season and hired a new head coach Chip Kelly for 2016 coming into the 20 2016 season Colin Kaepernick was out of football shape the injuries and the surgeries caused the quarterback to lose tons of muscle and the QB had not played well in the past two years new head coach Chip Kelly was not impressed with Kaepernick before the start of the season and he decided to name Blaine gabber as the starting QB for 2016 to be fair both bla gabber and Colin Kaepernick would struggle throughout the 2016 season and Kaepernick would appear in and out of games in 2016 playing 12 games total and the ners had a miserable 2 and4 record but 2016 would be the year that Colin Kaepernick would become famous for something outside of football this would be the year that he would finally kneel during the national anthem the first kneel began in early September of 2016 during the San Francisco 49ers final preseason game against the Chargers Kaepernick Contin to kneel periodically throughout the 2016 season this was another horrible season for the San Francisco 49ers leading to Chip Kelly being fired after the year and the San Francisco 49ers would decide to hire Kyle Shanahan to be the head coach who is still the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers to this day and what is quite interesting here is that it was Kyle Shanahan's decision to release calling Kaepernick when the new head coach was hired he decided that Kaepernick was not a good scheme fit and the injury riddled quarterback had not been productive in years so Colin Kaepernick remained unsigned for the 2017 season and this is when he would file a grievance against the NFL alleging that all 32 teams were colluding against him but this is sort of where Colin Kaepernick's argument does not make any sense he was already benched before the start of the 2016 season in favor of bla gabber like we mentioned earlier and this was before he had ever taken a kneal on the football field protesting aside it was already clear that the quarterback's career was in decline in 2017 some teams like the Giants and the Baltimore Ravens had a workout with Kaepernick but backed off after fans criticized a potential signing a lot of people seem to forget this which is the fact that most NFL fans did not support Kaepernick's kneeling and they often booed the quarterback when he was kneeling during the anthem [Applause] why would an NFL team sign a player who's on their decline grossly unpopular amongst NFL fans and has tons of baggage what's crazy is after the Ravens workout Kaepernick's girlfriend at the time Nessa made a tweet comparing the Baltimore Ravens owner to a slave owner and this tweet pictured star linebacker Ray Lewis as a slave to the owner let's just say that Ray Lewis was incredibly offended by this his girl puts out this racist gesture and doesn't know she doesn't know we're in the back office about to try to get this guy to sign keep in mind years later in 2021 Kaepernick's biographical Netflix miniseries featured a scene where he compares the NFL to slavery so this is a common theme for the former quarterback but in 2017 Kaepernick's litigation against the NFL would continue and he would ultimately secure a victory where the NFL would settle with Kaepernick and safety Eric Reed for an undisclosed amount of money since then Colin Kaepernick has claimed that he wants to return to the NFL but he has been primarily focused on his so-called activism in 2018 a year after being supposedly blacklisted by the NFL he was sponsored by Nike the shoe company that has used sweat shop labor I guess Kaepernick doesn't hate slavery that much after all as long as he's the one profiting but Nike thought it was wise to capitalize off the BLM protest Trend and Kaepernick was the perfect spokesperson this Nike deal brought criticism from prominent players like Antonio Brown even though Antonio Brown is a wild character he seems to be able to perfectly diagnose why Kaepernick is not in the NFL gave him the money and they gave him the commercial comp they took the deal we don't feel sorry for you you took the deal out of here man you out of here you oh he good you think he good cuz I he don't want to play man he was trash everything it seems clear that Kaepernick is not really interested in playing in the NFL his protesting Antics provided an Avenue to raken millions of dollars without having to compete with some of the best athletes in the world in the NFL but even after this big Nike deal even after the Netflix miniseries Colin Kaepernick has still claimed that he wants to get back in the NFL most notably in 2022 he had a workout with the Las Vegas Raiders after Raiders owner Mark Davis spoke highly of the former 49ers quarterback in an interview and I I I believe in Colin Kaepernick and he deserves every chance in the world to become a quarterback in the National Football League if our coaches and general manager want him to be the quarterback on this team I would welcome him with open arms coincidentally this was after the John Gruden email League where he made offensive jokes in private that mock the lips of former NFL director deor Smith the Kaepernick workout with the Raiders never appeared serious from Kaepernick's side or the Raiders side but this was good PR for both sides the Raiders could appear woke after the Gruden debacle and Kaepernick could continue to pretend he wants to play full live contact football as a backup a few months after the workout Colin Kaepernick even went as far as to throw the Raiders under the bus for not offering him a contract the Raider situ ation last year that was obviously there's something else within this decision way to bur a bridge with the only team that was willing to give you a shot since 2022 we have not heard a word from Colin Kaepernick on returning to the NFL until now however you got to remember this head coach Jim Harbaugh while he was in Michigan continued to praise Colin Kaepernick while he was supposedly blackball Harbaugh stumped for Kaepernick around 2017 claiming he could deliver championships to an NFL team in 2022 around the same time as the Raiders work out Harbaugh brought in Kaepernick to address his Michigan team he even made him an honorary Captain for their upcoming spring game the QB and Coach are still good friends as Kaepernick praised Harbaugh in early 2024 as the head coach entered the NFL hiring cycle since then NFL insiders have speculated that Kaepernick could join Harbaugh's coaching staff with with the LA Chargers where Harbaugh is now the head coach now in August of 2024 in the middle of preseason in the middle of training camp Kaepernick while speaking to the media has said he wants to play in the NFL right now will we see you play NFL again we're still training still pushing we just got to get one of these team owners to open up would love to be out there Colin Kaepernick is 36 years old and has not played an NFL snap or any snap in 7 years at the same time quarterback Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers has been dealing with planter fasciitis and he's been walking around in a walking boot for several weeks during training camp many insiders believe the backup QB role will be crucial for the Chargers because Herbert will be dealing with this injury the entire year this sounds hilarious and farfetched but now is the time where it seems like Colin cernick could seriously return to the NFL and be a backup to Justin Herbert reuniting with head coach Jim Harbaugh after the first preseason game local Chargers reporters have been talking about how the current backup QBs are struggling and it's a huge need for this Chargers team some people argue that Colin Kaepernick is delusional to think that he can still compete at an NFL level after nearly a decade but nepotism matters more than talent in many top industries including the NFL and right now Kaepernick has a huge Ally in Jim Harbaugh who's leading an NFL team it's now or never for Colin Kaepernick if he truly wants to play and he's not just pretending to perpetuate this persecution complex by the NFL then he ought to have an opportunity right here right now with the Los Angeles Chargers and head coach Jim Harbaugh I think this could seriously happen and if it doesn't happen then we'll officially have to close the book on the Colin Kaepernick return my name is Wii Willie subscribe to this channel for more NFL news and story for me peace out and I hope you have a good one
