Look, playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right. Mahomes, Wilson, L. Jackson, even Watson would still be in the NFL even if they did the same damn things Kaep did. That is just a fact.

If I recall correctly Eric Reid still was employed through the 2021 season and he also knelt with Kaep.

Did it piss teams off yes? So did kneeling, and so did suing them. You are right if he was a top 5 or 10 QB he’d still be in the league. He wasn’t. But if you don’t think he was good enough to earn a spot on a roster in 2017 or 2018 (before the missed “workout” you keep hanging it on) then you are simply lying to yourself. The fact is if half the US population wasn’t pissed at him and the president of the United States wasn’t calling him a “son of a bitch” then Kap would have played. He became the face of “not knowing your place” in right wing politics and that’s why he didn’t play. He’d have been better off to beat a woman than to kneel, god knows Republicans wouldn’t have cared about that.

Yep you nailed it. Which is exactly the point of the article. In a league starving for QBs a guy that would be at worst a very good backup was essentially blacklisted by a certain demographic for the sin of high lighting racial injustices in this country. Yet that same demographic will gladly cheer for a woman beater or a pussy grabber - as long as they don’t bring up race and are “good enough”. That’s essentially the point of the article- yet the majority of the responses are on how bad Kap is as a QB, which is complete BS compared to what else is in the league. But I don’t expect much acknowledgement of that from most on here - because it makes them feel same and secure to say it isn’t about race, just performance.

He was offered a backup QB spot, and turned it down.

Where? To my knowledge that was a rumor denied by Kap and never substantiated by any team

I don't recall where. It was reported a few years ago.
