    I’ve been fascinated by some of the Vids i watched today, on Kap and the NFL.

    Some of the comments by some of the black commentators were interesting/infuriating/thot-provoking.

    A couple of black pundits said they thot Kap started out with good intentions but has since made it more about his ‘brand.’ I see the word ‘brand’ being tossed around more and more by tv-pundits. ‘Brand’ and ‘Optics.’ Fascinating.

    There’s also some talk among the black commentators about Kap and ‘street cred.’
    Some of them seem to think he plays a ‘street cred card’ as opposed to ‘i wanna actually play’ mentality.

    Some of them think he never really gave any of this all that much thought at first. It just all mushroomed and he got caught up in something.

    At any rate, at this point if he just shuts up and says all the right things — some team would grab him, i think. But then if he did that, he would be selling out his core-following or the movement or whatever one wants to call it.

    He’s kinda trapped at this point. The NFL wins, in a way.

    i don’t know what to think of all of it.

    do i think he deserves a spot on an nfl roster?

    yes. i have a hard time believing bortles is a better qb than kaepernick.

    and i do admire him for standing up for injustice.

    but then why did he sign a deal with nike? or will he protest the injustices done by nike?

    i know you can’t fight every battle. and we’re all hypocrites.

    i don’t know. maybe the end really is near.

    =====================

    Yeah, good intentions and good activism are always filtered thru flawed-human-brains, etc and so forth.

    As far as the ‘End’ being near….my understanding is, that wont happen until the anti-christ has six super bowl rings. So, dont worry.
