One person wrote: "So I recall training days with some of the coaches & scouts and then he didn't show up and he changed them & he blew them off, so now he doesn't have a job. You can blame it on the knee thing all day long but mostly it's just because he blew his last job interview. Oh well."

Take the political stuff out. If he wanted to comeback and play, why didn’t he go play in Canada or arena? Something to show his skills in action. The fact that he’s “working out” only is just a show. What team would actually waste their time at this point? Careers are finite.

One fan said: "Kap screwed himself. He could've come back, more than once, but chose to act like a tool. Canceling try outs, demanding special treatment, etc. Colin is an average QB, a backup. Most teams won't see him as worth the headache of dealing with him."

Another fan asked: "But he had one and decided to focus on the marketing and community aspect instead. I get it, but if he was that hungry, why didn't he just go to the tryout?"

Good luck. He built the wall of drama around him with all his actions after the knee and no one wants to even think about touching him

One fan tweeted: "Any Black athlete who has protested racism was usually hated by a segment of White America who felt Black ppl should stay in line. The hate is irrational, but its historically consistent. Revising history and repeating provable lies are also part of the reaction."

One person wrote: "It's over, he wasn't that good & was on the way out either way. If he was a star QB he would have been picked up already, irrelevant of what he protested against."
