I'm inclined to think new head coach Josh McDaniels, formerly the offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots, is being told to do this by the Raiders GM or that idiot owner Mark Davis, who clearly isn't Al Davis.
[SportsIllustrated] Colin Kaepernick Has Secured a Workout With Raiders, per Report
Colin Kaepernick, who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016, is scheduled to work out for the Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirmed the report and added the workout is Wednesday.
The workout will be at the team facility and coach Josh McDaniels along with general manager Dave Ziegler will be in attendance, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
Kaepernick last played for the 49ers and was eventually released at the end of the 2016 season. He was never signed by a team in free agency after he made waves in the NFL for kneeling during the national anthem before games to protest police brutality and institutionalized racism in America.
SI is just as bad as ESPN in the woke department. Also - he doesn't have a fuckin' prayer of making an NFL roster even as a backup - he's been out of football almost six years now. I'm not aware of any athlete in any sport coming back to the big time after that long a layoff. And even if he did, how well would he be received in the locker room after this incredibly stupid and counterproductive stunt?
Don't go away mad, Colin, just go away. |
