Antonio Brown cut by the Patriots today. Looks like he will be riding the "nobody wants you" bench with Colin Kaepernick.
good riddance to AB. not the same as Colin Kaepernick at all. with the level of QB play in the league right now, its criminal that no one has given him a chance.
That is absurd. It's flat out bizarre. There's obviously some kind of hush-hush that the owners have all agreed to - the fan base, which is kind of odd considering the stupid TV money that will go away soon, and the US military paying $$$ to what they do with the games, has helped to inflate that mindset. It's created a 'WE'RE THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD' mentality that the NFL has found itself catering to... to a point. Cue the TV production and suddenly there's a glorious 'look at what we've done' thing going on.
You can certainly bet there is a degree of racism amongst NFL fans (and to whatever extent, team owners) about black men being on their team, yet alone the mindset of ones not on their team. So to rock that boat in an opposite direction with Kaepernick... it's obvious: many horrible QBs have been signed to teams while he just lingers without being "considered" while morons like Antonio Brown and a few others, who happen to be black, are OK.
It's pathetic.
the players union didn't get involved with the kaepernick issue because they won't back him . the union exists to get the players raises and they won't side with any player that could hurt the revenue of the nfl

the NFL player's union is a horrible joke. the revenues in the NFL are astronomical & yet player salaries aren't guaranteed. this for the sport with the lowest "lifespan" of a player & by far the most (& worst) injuries. the big money is changing hands somewhere above the player level. i have been enjoying watch a few manage to turn the franchise tag back against the owners. like leveon bell & jadaveon clowney. overall my interest in sports is waning as it has become another toy for the wealthy & greed is rampant. have you checked the prices for NFL games lately? i can't afford to pay more than i paid for the stones for a game. sadly, baseball seems to be following suit. i've only been to 1 game this year & i used to go to at least 1 game a homestand. for 1 bleacher ticket, parking, a burger & a lemonade, i was out $100. all to watch my glorified AAA team get slaughtered. i'm still watching the seahawks but that could change & it is with a huge grain of salt. i hope kaepernick has his day in court & prevails.

the only response I have to this is the players union agreed to the current terms and contracts being offered. if there is an issue with franchise tagging, how much of a contract is guaranteed, how much the contracts increase per season, length of contracts , etc then its up to the players union and their lawyer and representatives to make the changes with the owners.
as far as kaepernick, what day in court? lol. his grievance was already settled and the case closed. unless I'm missing something that was the end of any lawsuits against the nfl by him. if the reports are true he settled for less money than the broncos or ravens offered him to actually play, Denver he turned them down and Baltimore his girlfriend acted like an idiot all over twitter and upset the ravens owner, the GM and ray lewis who was instrumental in getting kaepernick a meeting with the team.

Putting AB and Kaepernick in the same sentence is grotesque.
Having said that, Kaepernick has done himself no favors. He doesn't talk to the media or articulate his position. Does the guy even WANT to play at this point? He puts out workout videos occasionally, but it's pretty unclear what he wants. He did have several job offers and turned them down.
However, it does make me sick that a man peacefully protesting (kneeling at the suggestion of a U.S. army vet) is treated more viciously than drug addicts, abusers of women, and rapists.

must've missed the court thing. life has been extremely complex in a lot of bad ways lately. i still don't think the player's union has done an adequate job protecting the players.
I wasn't talking about you...I was talking about the guy who said AB is now in the same situation as Kaepernick despite AB being a low-life headcase.Quote

I'm not lumping any players together. they all have very different situations going on. I was just pointing out that he was offered jobs, same as players who have done things actually against the law, but didn't want, or in the case of the ravens let his girlfriend make twitter posts that should have never been made, those jobs and now acts like "whoa is me"
The odds are low, but I COULD see him playing again once this all blows over. However, he's 31 and the clock is ticking on his prime as a WR.Quote

Please, save the race card for twitter. Fans and owners not wanting black players on their team IS an absurd statement. The NFL has made THOUSANDS of black and white players millionaires. More than any other sport. I've never heard fans complaining about their team having black players. That's stupid. Teams want the best players available. The league and owners are running a multi billion dollar business empire, and fans buy the tickets and watch the games on tv. Sponsors buy commercial time, invest in league and league is involved in many extra-curricular activities all of which have demands for their investments. IMO, it's bad enough they allow all these stupid end zone celebrations and constant stoppages of play. Just play the game like soccer, keep the clock running.

I mean they don't have to "ask" for more money as there is set criteria outlined for players at certain positions, years in the league, making a pro bowl, etc. the players are just unhappy because a lot of them weren't around last time all this was hammered out and agreed upon

The Notre Dame at Georgia game was of epic magnitudes. In attendance were 93k plus in garlett and silver. There were bad calls, and fan craziness. These two programs are of historic proportions in CFB. It was a great game.
