Who would want a marginal quarterback with an attitude and would bring a lot of distractions with him? I don't think Goodell doesn't want him playing. In some ways he might prefer him signed with a team to show he's not trying to prevent it. But what team would want him? No coach or GM wants the distraction. And honestly, I have doubts Kaepernick wants to play. He got himself back in the news. Mission accomplished.

Then why was it that the NFL called for the open tryout?

So Snack says he thinks the NFL wouldn’t mind him playing, but that he doubts a GM or coach would want the distraction he brings.

And you ask why the NFL had a tryout in response?

[RedAlice]

I expect that some teams were sincere and wanted to see if Kap was serious and could still play.

Instead, he created media drama, makes it all about himself and keeps it political with his choice of attire.

Pretty obvious to me why NFL did a hurry-up on Kapernick's public workout....it was part of his legal settlement with the NFL.....but neither side could talk about it....for legal reasons.

To me, the NFL had a legal obligation to provide this public showcase of CK's residual football skills, and they said, "OK, we HAVE to do this, so we will do it in the most uncomfortable, one-sided way that we can legally get away with",
including that One-Sided Injury Waiver deal that CK's side refused to sign. I think the NFL lawyers set CK up to look like a buffoon via this Workout which they were legally obligated to provide and publicize.

...and I think the NFL succeeded.

JMO.

A lot of people hate him for his calling out corrupt cops.

I hate his positions that support murderous communists like Assata Shakur, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro - but you do you.

Today a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork to continue to hate on him.

excessive hating on him for non-football reasons on football forums ... is equally as bad as the player using the NFL platform for his political views and for being the attention whore he is.

Equally as bad? Did you think about what you wrote before you wrote it?

He can come on any public forum and make any statement he wants, as can the rest of us.

If the owner of any football forum doesn’t like what we say, they can stop us from saying it on their dime. Just like the NFL can stop that whiny bitch.

Your take is the only bad thing I have seen.

You might be right. But I find it hard to believe that either sides lawyers would let a settlement occur that didn't exactly lay out how the show/fake tryout would occur. Maybe Kaepernick's lawyers were dumb enough to accept the settlement without paying attention to the details? I don't know: this is all really odd.

I object to the thread title...
