I think lot has to do with the private established club of the NFL and all the private information that gets released or examined that bends the knee if it manages to get to that far .
It appears itâs not so much about the case but about breaking thru to the level where they ask for certain information that they may not want disclosed for whatever reason . At least that is what the article alluded to being the reason for a settlement out of court .
Many didnât feel Kaepernick didnât have a case .
There must be something that is in plain view to insiders which is hidden to the NFL outsider . IMO.
Is it taxes ? Is it revenue redistribution ? who knows âŚ
Kaepernick? What did he win other than a side show?
They essentially unbanned him but nobody signed him
Only 1 team even expressed interest (Seahawks) but said they were happy instead to keep (a much cheaper) Geno Smith as their backup (never even considered K as a starter)
Kaepernick then went to the XFL and asked for a $20 million contract and was promptly laughed out the door
He is alot of talk and swagger but noone is interested in paying him what he thinks he is worth
Its not discrimination for politics, its discrimination against his insane theories of how much he is worth
Also of note; San Fran did WAY BETTER after K left
I had thought Manziel might catch on with CFL but I doubt Kap ever could
His career is over (even the AAF rejected him, but again they pay a QB $250K per season)
So the âcollusionâ bs is bs when other leagues refuse to sign him as well
Never said I was a fan just that the NFL has settled lawsuits like his . It was undisclosed but it maybe just 10 million .
They also settled a class action lawsuit over concussions . 1 billion .
It seems when it comes to the NFL it is more about getting to a stage in proceedings than to get to court itself . If you survive the early stages they seem more likely to settle and have you go away .
NFL is very powerful but with that power there seems to be a side they wish not be exposed to in a pubic forum or At least that seems to be the sentiment from articles that I have read .
My bet would be on the latter because the NFL owners never want more competition or anything hanging over their heads from a newcomer.
But of course, say a franchise is ailing in the coming years or say they donât like the public extortion deal they are getting in some town, well then âvoila!â insert the St. Louis option for negotiation much like that recent Austin boogeyman nonsense otherwise.
If the Jays were the SkyDome doing, the playing field would be smaller than the massive CFL field it accommodated for. The claim the Jays had was that they got to the first opportunity to play there, nothing more
Yes of course and the Jays being the prime tennant with over 80 home games a year. They also wanted a large venue for the big rock concerts and could be used in the winter.
The Argos with only 9 games a year were down on the priority list.
The Argos were asked to pair up with the Jayâs when the planning started .
The Argos thought they could do something on their own and couldnât so they ended playing at the dome.
They tried on a couple of occasions and never could.
The dome was always meant to be multi-use from day 1 it was planned for that
