Kapernick had the biggest contract in NFL history.

I think that sort of qualifies him to be referred to as a star.



SO does this ^

Time did this just to piss off Trump fans...


And it's working in spades :lol:

Tom Brady said yesterday he doesn't know if Kap is being blackballed by owners but he always thought he was a good QB - having come into Foxboro and beaten the Pats and taken his team to the Superbowl etc.

And that is about as political or controversial as Tom Brady is ever likely to get.

He should come up here and play Canadian ball, where he'll be welcome, then.

We have a centuries old tradition of taking in refugees from America.

Why would he want to come to frigid Canada to play football in Canada for a pittance of what he would command in the NFL , when he already has lucrative endorsements?

He would come here to play if he gets driven out of the good 'ole USA, where you can hold any opinion that you like, as long as it's the right one.

Kapernick has elevated himself above the game and above sport in general.

He is a cultural icon.

How big are the crowds he draws?
Big enough for the CFL!

Besides the campus here are not weighed down by Stars n Stripes Freedom Eagle propaganda bullshit and he could easily be a fan favourite, having been given asylum by a failing and dangerous place that does.
