No team thought Kaepernick was good enough to get around all the noise? Were fans really going to boycott games? I don't think NFL fans would boycott games for any reason including child murder.

I’m really not sure how it’s an interesting take. 100% without the controversy around him protesting police brutality he would made a team. Teams simply weren’t interested in him because of the “baggage” he brought and more and more NFL executives and management have said as much.

So he literally lost his career for his political beliefs, yet it’a “interesting” to say he got cancelled. But Tim Allen who had his mediocre show with mediocre ratings cancelled from ABC, picked up by Fox, still cancelled cause it wasn’t great, and that’s cancel culture?
As for whether the NFL is left or right, it’s neither, it’s a business. The people who “cancelled” Kaepernik for his views on racism and police brutality though? Yeah that was the right…
They’ve been doing this since before Jane Fonda.
