The best result of this entire situation is the continued low NFL ratings. There are consequences to their actions and the networks and owners are paying.
NFL ratings are indeed down, but there's so much more to it than Colin Kaepernick. Bad officiating, bad games, too many commercials, competition from other entertainment options, and length of game are cited among the reasons. The players themselves, like Kaepernick's protest, Tom Brady cheating, Ben Roethlisberger, Darren Sharper and others having sexual assault charges against them, are all factors, but to say that rating are down because of Kaepernick fails to take into account all of the other factors.
Thug indeed, a dumb one at that, although rich I assume. Stopped watching the 49'rs, don't care anymore, all cause of him. I vote with my wallet. Once he's gone I might start watching again. Did the same with Terrel Owens, stopped watching until they got rid of him, did not care. No race involved here folks, just dumb narcisistic atheletes, move along, nothing to see........ Stop pulling the race cards out, getting very old by now. Chris
The dictionary defines 'thug' as 'a brutal ruffian or assassin', 'a violent person'.
Kaepernick is hardly that.
It's funny, when he was selected by the 49ers and when he played well for them, he was hailed as a great kid, an underdog who always had to fight for a roster spot, an intelligent kid who gave back to the community and visited kids in hospitals.
Now that he protests whatever he's protesting, he's a thug.
