Report: NFL Ran Survey Asking if Any Team Should Hire Colin Kaepernick

Source: The Daily Beast



The National Football League hired a Washington, D.C., consulting firm to poll the American public about whether Colin Kaepernick should be signed to a team when he was a free agent during the 2017 season, Yahoo Sports reports. The Glover Park Group was hired to conduct the poll, which also asked whether fans believed the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was a free agent because he kneeled during the national anthem or because of his playing performance. Sources said the poll responses reflected a racial, generational, and political divide, with black and Latino fans saying they were against disciplining players for refusing to stand during the anthem in protest of U.S. police brutality. In October, Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL, claiming officials colluded to keep him from playing in the league.

with the owners..................the same owners that get a free pass from the funding of the tax payers on stadiums, that we pay for, for tickets, that we pay for, for infrastructure that we pay for, they have a non profit tagged on the organizations, for tax breaks that we pay for the owners, and then the television viewing public pays CBS, FOX, or whoever gets the broadcast rights for getting to watch the games, with a monthly bill that is split with owners and they then decided all by themselves behind closed doors to fuck the 1 st Amendment of the Constitution, and Roger Goodell sat there and probably said nothing, because billionaires and a millionaires can just fuck the Constitution......................just like they do now in the country

Whats next.....................if you don't stand in the bleachers, the NFL football goons will march you out.............since that individual paid for all the shit.......................turning into NASCAR, no one shows up, because the sexual predator said something about them also.......................


And then Goodell says that they want respect for the anthem..............you do realize Goodell, that it is a racist song......................
