Three seasons have passed since Colin Kaepernick last played an NFL game.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The smiles spoke volumes. Heaving chests and tears of joy outshined the scars of their troubled pasts and punctuated stories of transformative journeys.

The experience helped give them a sense of purpose and hope. It placed them one step closer to redemption. But for all of the feel-good vibes of the night, this week also has had an uncomfortable feel to it. A faint gnaw.

Not missed!

Only folks still clinging to Colin...is well, you.

I could go another 10 years

Not long enough!

talentdiva Who cares about that guy? Kaepernick

Cry about it usa nobody misses him and are enjoying the Game tonite so stuff it

So what?

Good

🖕

NFL - not for long for Kaepernick

Hiiiiiii

Brahahahahaha

Let him kneel all he wants now!

Good. The longer the better

Who cares

😢😢

WHO?

Who cares?

Why bring this up when the Super Bowl is about to start. Unacceptable. Takes away from the hard working athletes about to play.

Hall of Fame material.

And he didn't do too well in the season that he did try to play.

Keep us posted on the timeline (sarcasm)

Really, who cares ?

And many more should pass.

3 great seasons.

And still you obsess. Just stop no one cares

That's because he's not a criminal

Kaepernick was treated the same way they treated Ali Because Kaepernick recognize what a racist society people of color live in he stood up for what is right For that he was railroaded out of the NFL

So?

Good stay GONE!!

🙄🙄😂😂😂

And in 12 years it will have been 15 years ... and the fool will still claim he can play.

Who’s that?

Yep hope that knee was worth it.

Quit buying Nikes 3 years ago

You had to bring him up. He's gone write about the players playing.

Not nearly long enough.

I thought this rat had immigrated.

So?

who

Lol, because a guy who isn't even in the league anymore should overshadow the players actually playing in the game. 🤔

He’s bad for business and not good enough to make up for it.

Who?

And whoooo cares?

TYhis ingrate better never get a job in the NFL or that Owner would be very sorry, Every day he will regret it. Bigly

One day I would like to be able to measure by what degree how much good was accomplished and how much real positive change took place in the US and the world because of Kaepernick. Awareness increased...but what changed?

And 230,618,421 seasons will pass before he will ever play again in the NFL.

No one cares.

Because he just isnt all that , you race baiting frauds.

Praying for four.

The media continues to fail us.

Good. He's a piece of crap

Not even going to click on it....waste of time

who

Many more to come

too many knee injuries
