OT: What do you think Kapernick and Co. settled for?
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
I am guessing a life of mediocrity and hate.

no way to know, but if anyone thinks he needed to settle for just a couple of million, they are nuts
I understand people not agreeing with him, but hate?
It's not like he was a cowardly draft dodger or something.
Well, it isn't the 60's & 70's I grew up in.....

You'd have to assume that he already missed 2 years ($30M), and depreciate from there. I think $50M is in the ballpark.
Geragos has a number he wanted to see. He got it.
Kap won't starve, nor his grandchildren.

I would guess, similar reasons our BoT unloaded large sums of cash to "victims"....
Keep the knowledge in Pandora's Box.
They put out the word that no one - no team should offer him. There's little doubt he'd have been better than 25 backups and 10 starters. Redskins last year are a pretty significant example of a team that might have at least brought him in for a try.
LOL, boy Rip, you're really a grumpy old curmudgeon.

I still have great expectations ,,, Step. No matter how many times those expectations are dashed. 2 months ago, my disabled son was put on a medication that has been reversing his brain damage at an incredible rate. Expectations are he will be able to become a self sufficient person after about 6 months of treatment with this medication. he will require a yet to be determined maintenance dose. He has been taking the medication in a trial which ends in a few weeks. His prescription drug company has been sitting on his pre-auth for the medication for two weeks without a response. I have great expectations for his future. Unfortunately, we will probably have to move off shore for him to have a life.
Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Free Speech is what made me serve. the first three cannot stand, as I see it, without number 4. These days the first three are unattainable for too many folks... and a wealthy few abuse free speech.... like screaming fire in a theater..... Although I never have had a grumpy day in my life, I admit to being both a Curmudgeon and a bit or a relic in these times..... by just speaking my mind. I have always preferred Samuel Clemens over Sam Adams.

It's a very long story. When this all happened, Trump spoke & tweeted on it.
He's pals with at least Kraft & Jerry Jones, and met with them personally shortly after that.
Those 2 and others were deposed by Geragos, who has stated (while under gag order) that if he hypothetically had deposed those two people, that he has no reason to think are not honest, that the depositions of those two alone would constitute evidence of collusion (not that those 2 would need Kap on their teams).
You'd have to dig deep into what Geragos has said/not said to fully "get it"
Add to that the prima facia that we have all sort of QB metrics, and by any measure, Kap is qualified to be in the league (at least 2 years ago). A head-to-head vs. Sanchez is a fairly good example.
No need to get political- there were lots of draft dodgers back in the day- oddly (or not), many of them are Chickenhawks now. I detest all of them, whatever their politics might be.
Would you agree to kill people just because you’re told they are the enemy? If so, you’d be a fool. We haven’t had a just war since WW 2.

With all the draft dodgers who ran to Canada and were later pardoned by Jimmy Carter, i can't remember any of them to this day acknowledging their defection. Go to show the cowardice of their deed.
If a war were to happen in the future , i'm afraid the current generation will not answer to the call, fortunately we have a nuclear arsenal.
I’m surprised to hear such ignorance from you.No need to get political- there were lots of draft dodgers back in the day- oddly (or not), many of them are Chickenhawks now. I detest all of them, whatever their politics might be.
Not my idea but i served and didn't run away.
You sound like a coward, are you a coward ? Would you serve , have you served ?

I think you miss the targets of my contempt
I admire what Ali did- he paid a price.
From my elementary education i was taught Fascism and Communism were not only bad but evil. What am i missing here, with all the love for communism.

At least those guys took a stand- and were willing to pay a price.
The guys with multiple deferments, fake doctors excuses and those who used inside connections to get into closed Guard units were worse, imo.
I oppose both Fascism and Communism, so what does that mean for me ? Why does it seem to be fashionable to be a communist or " socialist " today?
I love the fact that after everything he can be bought. To hell with whatever principle he was advancing.
After they took their stand and ran away and were pardoned, where are they today ? Should be easy to deal with after 40 or 50 years, they should have nothing to be ashamed of, or do they?
I have no idea, I did meet a few in Nova Scotia who became Canadian citizens- I still have more respect for them than I do for the others.
But since we've had three of the others in the White House already, I guess nobody much cares anyway.
