    His awkward and slow release was his downfall. He worked hard to change it, but he had been doing it that way for so long that it was not something he could change.

    If he could become a decent TE he would be a great weapon as there is always a threat he could throw the ball.

    As a baseball fan I am always glad to see folks like him and Jordan who think they can just magically take up baseball again and be good at it. It just shows how hard baseball really is.

    Of course they are not the same thing. For starters, one is supported by the 1st amendment; the other by wild-eyed radicals.

    Do some folks not know the difference between kneeling because respect and kneeling because of hate?

    Let's say your irrational position had any truth to it. Both are protected under the 1st amendment. Why do you despise the Constitution so much?

    DailyCaller with it’s daily dose of stupidity to rile up it’s audience. The political equivalent to jacking off.

    That's Right - Tebow never stood up for nothing his whole life - his normal state on his knees - in submission to authority - a true sheep among men.

    Then there is Tebow who is always on his knees because he is a subservient Sheep who has never stood up for anything.

    I wonder how many deaths of black youngsters Kaepernick caused with his anti police rhetoric. His hate results in black youths resisting arrest which many times leads to confrontation and death. He should be so proud.

    The revolt against slavery took many lives as well with that "freedom rhetoric" . Your argument is horribly bad for many other reasons.

    Not unless the NFL is receiving protections from libel and slander lawsuits. Which I’m pretty sure they’re not.

    Really? You believe that a young black man getting killed resisting arrests contributes to the cause?

    But it is given Anti-trust exemptions that Twitter and FB do not enjoy.

    And the league itself is considered a non-profit entity!

    You cannot have it both ways, either we allow private companies can do as they please or we don't. Picking and choosing just highlights your partisanship.

    Never said that - try arguing against something I did say or infer.

    The league itself is but the teams are not. And the league has no say in whether this guy gets a job with a team. I’m sure they’d be happy to hire him as a greeter or something.

    But I would agree. I think EVERY private business should be allowed to discriminate based upon whatever metric they wish to discriminate upon.

    But you said:
    After I said:
    Kaepernick has likely caused the death of young black men because of his hate of law enforcement. Explain to me how I am wrong.

    We get it - religion is welcome in sport, politics is not. Correction - liberal politics are not.

    I don't want disrespect for our country and our flag in sports.
