RE: Kaepernick is suing the NFL now and why he's a giant douchebag.

What this means in a bigger sense for the future of the Collective Bargaining Agreement is huge. I'm telling you that we will NOT have football for at minimum half a season in 2022. The owners always win and in a sport that makes the most money and is the most punishing to the body the players are far worse off monetarily than athletes in almost any other of the major 4 sports in America, likely with the exception of Hockey. The players union really gave in last time and the owners saw it as a huge win. They want to see the same thing with this next agreement but the players are really being to be fed up, and we can see why. I, honestly would prefer we just play football and talk the politics put of it. I watch football to get away from the bullshit and have fun with friends and family. Have comradory with everyone in the area of your team, not talk about who we voted for at the beginning of the game. I DON'T CARE. Sorry for that rant, but yeah, it's more mud on the game and will only divided the sides prior to a situation where both sides need to come to some sort of an agreement for the game, for the monetary best interest of all involved and most importantly but most frequently forgotten, the fans.

I appreciate your comment. People sometimes forget for good and bad, professional sports are a business and Colin's behavior and skillset are just not good for the people who own the teams and pay the players. Now he's trying to sue them and cause more problems now that he's not even playing. I can't wait for this to eventually blow over and just go back to enjoying the game..until the next issue arises lol. I suspect you could be right about an upcoming lock out/walkout
