To Colin Kaepernick. The NFL Players and Owners, and The League Office!

Colin Kaepernick should be given a new chance to play in the NFL. There is no doubt in my mind he has better QB abilities then EJ Manual, and more than likely some others who are starting for a few teams. he can run and pass on the run and his accuracy is better than many. What he needs is a team with enough balls to pick him up and give him a job. Kaepernick protested the way he did because he believed black people were being mistreated in America, and many black people agreed with him. But the method he choose was wrong and inappropriate, especially in my opinion as a Disabled Veteran who served 16 years so he can have the rights to do so.

That said, Kaepernick has better skills as a Quarterback then numerous current starters  on NFL Teams now out there. If a team has an injured Quarterback like Oakland they need a proven commodity at the position to win, no matter if they brought beast mode back or not. They should give him a try out and a chance and let him play. I believe in rights and the constitution, while many believe he is being punished for his protests of kneeling for the National Anthem, it needs to be shown that that is not why he is not playing today. A move like his protest, tears through the NFL because the league is about 70 percent black and it is understandable, but it was also a danger to team unity. That may be why Kaepernick is not getting a chance to play, but, if it is, it is wrong to do. Banning him for his protest actions is not the way to prove a point or attempt to stop players from kneeling. For we all have the right to protest in America no matter what the protest is about, but to do so during the National Anthem is wrong for the player sand the NFL as an Organization and company is wrong to allow it, it disrespects what the american Flag stands for, and it disrespects us Veterans both Disabled, and healthy who served and protected their rights as well as all Americans. Look it is one thing to protest, it is another thing to disrespect all who served and believe in the country you live in, and you never served yourself. at least think about it. Did you give time to serve, sweat, blood, pain, did you fight to protect and defend this country, no we did the Veterans of all kinds.

To Colin Kaepernick I say this, Colin it is time for you to step up and speak up and stop this protest action in the NFl, for the fans, the players, the league and yourself. Ask the Players to stop the protesting, be a bigger man and admit it has gone too far, ask them to stand again and make it right. For in doing so, Colin you will show yourself a bigger man and person, and be doing what is honorable and right and you may even get called for a chance to play again. If not, I think you won;t get a chance to play again, because you will be judged as doing the wrong thing and not being man enough to stop and change it.
