Kolek planning to go pro
The whole Kaepernick work out was interesting. He skipped the official closed work out and set up one of his own making it open to the press. Dueling public relations campaigns I guess.
It is weird. I'd like to hear more. I'm inclined to think it might have been a publicity stunt. Maybe Nike driven? More to come for sure.
The league held it
No they didn’t. He didn’t show up for the league workout which was at Falcons training site, instead having it a high school hours later.https://theblast.com/101426/colin-kaepernick-wore-this-controversial-t-shirt-to-his-nfl-work
Detroit needs a quarterback with Stafford out. I hope they sign him. The currently available scrapings from the bottom of the barrel are not impressive.
The league originally called it and kept changing the parameters. It was disingenuous from the start from the league. https://twitter.com/hbryant42/status/1195833632755200001?s=21
No it wasn’t...as usual his way or the highway. Blasted currently for his attire again...as he should be. Wonder what socks he wore.
RicoI have a standing meeting with the NFL every week. I talk to them usually 5 days a week between email, text and phone. On Friday we had a meeting to touch on the Garrett situation. The NFL does this for major incidents to all of their media partners...Verizon, Amazon, CBS, ESPN, etc. They have been doing this since the anthem protests because of the backlash that happens now and people taking sides. They let us know how they are handling, etc..to a degree..they obviously have to respect privacy, legal and other issues, but they are heads up calls in terms of how things will be handled.As part of that call the Kap workout also came up. We were told it was set, would be no media, at the Falcons training camp site of which we are a major sponsor, what clubs were NOT going to be there. The NFL loves to control things, the SHIELD is protected always. They drive a very difficult bargain, and they control everything they can, but today was set in their minds. Clearly he wanted to do something different, wear whatever the hell he wanted...fine. Let’s not pretend that wasn’t his call. He was given a forum to show for scouts. He wanted a public affairs event...well, that’s what he got and I am sure his little stunt just gave a lot of NFL teams more pause...again.
Your hypocrisy is stunning...as are those you support.
And wore a Kunta Kinte shirt before the event started. You cannot make this stuff up.
...and of course when you connect her history of tweets.....
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
ESPN reported tonight that 24 teams were planning on attending the original practice, but with the move only eight made the workout. One might surmise that 16 teams are no longer interested because of the change of time and venue.
This is a pretty reasonable take on the whole scenario,https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/mike-jones/2019/11/17/colin-kaepernick-nfl-workout-teams-atlanta/4221683002/
