Donald Trump May Have Prevented Colin Kaepernick Signing, Fans Express Outrage
09/29/2019 07:30 pm EDT
The comments by Smith about Trump may have made news for many, but there were a lot of individuals that were not shocked at all. Having the president criticize any potential signing was simply a foregone conclusion.
Is the president to blame for Kaepernick not having a job in the NFL? Smith certainly believes so, and he is joined by many others. In fact, some pointed out that it's entirely possible that the former San Francisco 49ers QB doesn't see another opportunity until another individual resides in the White House.
Kaepernick has been out of the league since the end of the 2016 season, and hasn't found any other opportunities to make a return. This has been a storyline for years, and there are many that are disappointed that no progress has been made. In fact, they believe it paints the league in a very bad light.
The reactions to this news about the president and Kaepernick certainly were split based on the political beliefs of those reading the article. However, there was a third group that was simply shocked by the news.
As the comments by Smith show, there could be a case made about Trump impacting Kaepernick's potential employment. Whether this is true or not hasn't been proven, but there are many that believe this theory. That being said, there are multiple others that actually view the lack of a job as a simple matter of Kaepernick not being very good.
Whenever Trump is mentioned, the immediate outpouring of comments varies wildly. Some agree with whatever he has done to make headlines while others are quick to condemn. This is a trend that never ends, and one person on Twitter found his pattern.
There are many that support Kaepernick and his quest to return to the NFL, but not everyone agrees with this opinion. In fact, there are many that are completely against him ever donning another NFL uniform and would potentially boycott the league.
