Good luck, buddy. Nobody wants you. You don't shit where you eat.

[George K]

Back to the plantation, eh?

I haven't followed this story that closely, but couldn't this be that he's offering to be a backup as a compromise (in his mind)? He's no genius, but aren't you being a little harsh?

Really, what's the big deal if he gets back in?

[Mik]

He hasn't been in the NFL since 2017, and then only as a backup. He wasn't that good to begin with and he hasn't gotten any better. Add to that his lack of team spirit, placing his own desire to demonstrate above the good of his employer, and you have a train wreck. Which is what he is.

He made a "documentary" comparing the NFL tryout and talent pipeline to the slave trade. Literally - he had like a 5 minute segment on the similarities.

@Mik OK, sounds like he's no loss. But not for nuttin, Rodgers was criticized there for awhile for putting himself above the team. Course, CK ain't no Rodgers, LOL.

By rights he shouldn't be making headlines. I guess he's clickbait.

[Horace]

I assume he expects not to get a job, and that this public attempt will help in an eventual discrimination suit against the NFL.

[Mik]

I think Horace has it right.

[Catseye3]

@Mik That should be pretty easy to shoot down in deposition, then.

discrimination suit against the NFL.

If only the NFL would hire some players of color.

The racist team owners might not like it, but it is the right thing to do.

Excellent analysis.
