"Tragic"

I thought our reaction to COVID was bad and would never go away but somehow, this guy is like AIDS... we've found out how to live with it but there is no cure. Sports in general must currently be so shitty that even the sports writers, who are super-nerd-jock-sniffers and can usually dig up some timelier, inane shit to whine about (e.g. Tom Brady doing tequila shots after Super Bowl win #7), can't find anything more interestin' than to dust off this old story 'bout Kap's plight of supposedly bein' "black-balled" by the NFL for his "stance" (haha) on social justice while on company time (i.e. kneelin' durin' the pre-game National Anthem). 

Forgive me since I've already bitched 'bout this, but I wanna make sure everyone knows of the totally improbable, but still possible reason this dude ain’t currently in the NFL (and probably won't be again unless another dude or dudette who owns a big tech company, or a politician who is spendin' other people's money, becomes owner of an NFL franchise and needs a tax write-off and wants to be assured of a Nobel Prize, losin' record, and upside-down balance sheet just by signin' this guy). And the reason he ain't on anyone's roster is???.... (insert drum roll here... wait for it.... waaaaiiiit...) Cause winnin' and losin' is actually important!! Imagine that novel idea!?!? 

Here's the reality no one ever seems to speak about:

He has a good year and a half before the not-so-stoopid NFL DC's figger how to put the kibosh on his Super Mario World game! 17-6 is a great team record, I mean QB record, since they get all the credit for winnin' games. But the trend in the next 3 years ain't purty. His bestie was 8-8 right before the bed-shittin' began. That would be 3-16 for the 19 games he started in his last 2 years. (see his stats from profootballreference.com below) 

So are we to believe the reason said QB isn't currently a starter for an NFL franchise whose primary objective is to win Super Bowls is because he takes a knee for 3 1/2 minutes durin' a song before the game even starts??? Well then, riddle me this, why aren't the guys who are still takin' a knee during the Anthem still playin'???? See a 2020 photo of pre-game activities below:

  

If I were a bit more "woke" I would say absolutely, but I don't think I've become that jaded      

and stoopid yet. Believe me, if this guy could help an NFL team win, he would still be kneeling    with these other guys durin' the Anthem and standing behind center for some team who thinks he could help them win.
