He didn't plan it but he ain't complaining if you know what I am sayin'.

I think a law suit can be construed as complaining.

You were the one that typed up an essay about how CK is no MLK. You seem to care more than you should.
Practice what you preach, like CK did!

i think he realized he was being a giant boob. he took it upon himself to dig in and understand his "cause" he concocted.
so in the end, this was not for no reason.

Well if that is the case, as I said, then he won.

So rather that trying to create a thought provoking response, I should have either planted a CK victory flag or CK is a loser money whoring bad QB flag?
You seem awfully upset.

You said a hell of a lot more than that though. And if he won on those grounds, then he kind of won the argument that he was wrongly excluded from being employed by the NFL. You don't have to be a martyr to do that.

Well duh. I have no insight into CK's mind
Here is the Cliffs notes version of my masters thesis on the Colin Kaepernick settlement
He had won if was about him, but really sorta lost if it was about his social cause.
Better?

Do I seem upset enough to compare him to influential black people that were literally just trying to escape segregation and slavery?
It's like you don't understand that there's less he can be persecuted for or "stand up" for than them, because there's laws to protect him as an American now. The same laws that just allowed him to dunk on the NFL.
Not that "how persecuted" is really a thing, unless you're just upset on the internet and want to proclaim someone didn't win correctly, or whatever your initial point even was.
Post sucked, move on. Sorry CK didn't go broke and die in a gutter. No reason to dwell in anger.

Not really, because the fact he won on a personal basis over being wrongly excluded from employment, is also kind of a win on the sjw side. Your wordy and convoluted logic just doesn't work.

Holy shit. Yeah, you are definitely upset.
And as for the broke and dead in a gutter thing, too early to call really.

And he won right? If he got 60-80 million which is what was reported, then that is a slam dunk win for him. So at the end of the day, it worked out better than he could have imagined.

What would you say he has accomplished socially for the average person by the settlement? I would say at most he just won a settlement based on current law. He hasn't really changed a thing, but again maybe that wasn't the motivation for the suit. Would like to read some of your sound logic on the SJ change brought on by his taking a confidential settlement that he is not allowed to speak about.

You'd have to ask him. My point was I highly doubt he had this all planned out to end as it did, as you were trying to put forth.

Most people will look at this as a win for Kaep, and that the NFL was wrong to silence the protests. You and some others may not. My whole point in responding to your long post was that this suit was not Kaep trying to forward his cause on police brutality, but to show he was mistreated over his protests. I'm not sure why you are so stuck on proving this is a loss for him on his social issues. Because it isn't.

One thing for sure: this thread has produced much less of value than CK's protests...and also less than his play at QB...
