We have to consider the facts; the Niners let him go b/c he was a distraction that could not overcome his dwindling skills. The Seahawks offered him a contract, but he did not want to be a backup. Fair enough, he thought he could still be a starter, so that was his prerogative to accept/turn down any or all offers.

He accused the NFL ownership of collusion and the league settled with him and some other malcontent (forget his name) out of court, but that did not mean they WERE guilty, just that they wanted the case - and him - to go away.

Then the league sets up this recent workout, an unprecedented move for a player; not sure of their motivation, but probably to appear to be bending over backwards in order to assuage both him and his fans as well as any civil rights groups still ticked off that he's not being handed a starting job.

He also insisted that only those with decision making authority attend, he did not want teams just sending flunkies. Well, that was on a Saturday and many teams w/ away games fly out on the day before games and that includes their owners, GM's, coaches, etc. That sure was a lot to ask of teams serious about making the playoffs, but still...I suppose some might make that sacrifice in order to scout the man, see what he still has left.

He then decides to move the workout venue at the last minute, from the Falcon's facility to a h.s. workout facility fifty miles away, forcing some of the team's reps to hurry there in order to see him. *Some*, because some said to hell with him and did not bother.

Kaepernick HAD to have had all this planned out in advance. You don't just call up some random h.s. and arrange to use their facilities on the spur of the moment.No, he was doing this solely for the dramatic effect and to either elicit sympathy or a feeble attempt to show that he's being discriminated against because the teams did not bother to jump through hoops and dance to his hurdy gurdy.

I "get" the protests, I really do, even though I know what injustice they're protesting is mostly in their own minds. If I were an owner, any player who felt that way could stay in the locker room or tunnel during the anthem, but if they were on the field, they   sure wouldn't kneel.

From what little I saw, he still has some arm left, but that means nothing - after three yrs. out of the league, I doubt he could adapt back to the speed of the game. I do hope this is the last we hear of him. He's no hero, just a perpetual victim. <snicker>
