The ones complaining about Kap only read sites like BuzzFeed who don't even explain the story and aren't NFL fans and don't follow what actually happened.

Kap had a contract with the 49ers as a backup QB. He walked away from it because he wanted to be starter, but his play was awful his last 2 seasons, hence, why he was benched. He had one game where he threw for -4 yards.

Then he left the 49ers and got offers from the Ravens, and other teams expressed interest. He turned them down.

Bottom line: He's a QB who regressed significantly, walked away, turned down solid offers, and now is making a fuss for teams not being interested in him.

Not to mention, before he started kneeling, Kap was known to be one of the most selfish, showboating players off the field. He only started doing activism when he got benched.

I'm all for activism against police brutality and all that, but Kap really screwed himself over.
He sucked for half of 2015 under a new coach that wound up fired. Then he got hurt.

He started 11 games to finish off 2016 and he threw 16 TDs to 4 interceptions. He was far from irredeemable garbage and could have easily started on a number of teams or at least been a threat for the job.

People exercise player options all the time, so I don't think you can really say he fucked himself for wanting to see what else was out there. The only offers we know of were two teams that absolutely had no interests in starters at the time. The Seahawks have a future HOFer in Russell Wilson and the Ravens were fresh off giving Flacco his stupidly big deal that they eventually gave up on.

This all comes back to his antics, none of which were illegal or hurting anyone. So it sounds like he was blackballed because he upset some fans, owners, and troops that have bizarre values.
