The NFL has Failed Colin Kaepernick.

Why hasn't any NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick yet or will they for that matter? Does he even deserve another chance ? It's hard to make a case for him as of late, I mean in his last 24 starts he is just 4-20 which is awful to say the least. But lets be honest the San Fransico 4'9ers are an awful organization that was doomed the day they let Jim Harbaugh walk out the door. He was put into a position to fail as a quarterback over the past 2 seasons. So yes this man deserves another shot in the NFL. Since 1995 the 4'9ers have reached one Super Bowl and guess who was the quarterback? That's right Kaep!! He has 72 career touchdowns to just 30 interceptions, 2300 career rushing yards. In his first career post season game he totaled 444 total yards of offense with 4 touchdowns. This guy is a stud and you mean to tell me he can't even be a back up? Its not what's happening on the field because guys like Jay Cutler, Nick Foles, Blaine Gabbert, keeping finding themselves on NFL rosters over and over again and they haven't sniffed the success that Colin Kaepernick has had.  He had a higher QBR then Eli Manning and Cam Newton last season. So what is the real REASON no one has signed him yet? Is it the protest of a flag that represents the right to protest whatever you so please? He said " I will not stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." Was he wrong about his statement?  What do you disagree with? Are black people oppressed? Yep. Are we punished  more severely then white people for the same crime? Yep! The funny thing is the same people who say " oh he should stand because of what the flag represents" are the same ones who don't want to take down the confederate flag which represented not only but mainly the right to slavery.  So its okay to fly that flag but not protest the American flag? Really?This man is exercising his right to protest and for the people that say it accomplished nothing obviously aren't paying attention. Now when he speaks people listen even if they don't agree, just like Donald Trump. People dislike Donald Trump but ratings are high when he is on tv. So every team that won't sign this man because of his protest put your name next to it, don't hide behind closed doors and beat around the bush, be a man and say you don't want the so called distraction. Cause Colin Kaepernick has been one of the biggest humanitarians in the NFL history. Donating 50k to meals on wheels, pledged to donate 1 million, let me say that again 1 million dollars plus all the proceeds from his jersey sales in 2016. Donated 25k to BYP but all the attention is on him not standing for the National Anthem. WOW. He hasn't been signed for not standing for the National Anthem. WOW!!

Bottom Note: I think America should take down the flag until this country begins to uphold the values to every race that the American Flag represents.
