An interesting title, if a bit redundant. I guess it's just in case he forgets which sport he's working in.
NFL 2022: The Fall of the "Immunized" Aaron Rodgers

I honestly don't know whether to 
or
at this point. This might possibly enough to get Snyder kicked out if he's not giving the other owners their due. They'll all gang-rush him and get him thrown out on his ass through a unanimous-minus-one vote.
One can only hope, anyway.
"Commanders"... Feh...

Is Dan Snyder having cashflow problems?

He'll tie it up in court for a decade. The owners were never successful in stopping Al Davis from doing what he wanted.
Quelle surprise
It's an indoor league. Fans draft the teams, set the rules, call the plays. I think they've had one season already.
Finally a perfect landing spot for Kaepernick and I'm thinking ..... clubhouse attendant.
Why is the guy getting slammed?
Because owners hate him?
@Timby isn't wrong.
Overall the guy was strong in his first year, rated #6 among QB's, then #14, #20, #31, and #16. His first year he only played in parts of 3 games. 2011-2016, so 5 years with 2015 & 2016 being limited (injuries?). 3-16 in his last 2 seasons.
So when he started protesting, thereby becoming a distraction to his team and the league, he was average to below average as a QB.
Fast forward to 2019(?), 3 years out of the league, and he decides to "work out" for the league, except he plays mind games, changes the venue, says he'll only take a starting job and starting QB money. If he had played it right, he might have gotten a #2 or #3 QB job and maybe played his way to a starting role.
He just worked out again last week, I think it was at Michigan IIRC, but I don't see anything about how many, if any, scouts were there. He seems to be putting less BS out there this time, so maybe he's toned it down for the sake of getting a job, who knows?
Now at 6 years out of the league, he may be in great shape, but is he even in good football shape? Those are 2 very different things.
Bottom line, he decided to become a martyr to the cause, and that generally doesn't get you a lot of friends on the other side. Maybe if he was Brady or Rodgers level "good"? Performance trumps a lot.
Kaepernick likened the NFL to slavery and its owners to slavemasters. Regardless if you agree with him or not, that's not how one should publicly treat potential employers. He enjoyed some time under the activist sun, using his name and talent as a catalyst. His fame and notoriety have since waned from the news cycles (as it usually does - this should not be a surprise to anyone); now he's probably starting to feel the pinch and wants back in.
And yes, his little "work out" games he played a few years back didn't help his cause. The very epitome of unprofessionalism. Nobody wants to have anything to do with him. Actions have consequences. He made his toxic bed, and now he must sleep in it.

He made his bed the moment he started kneeling. White folks tend to want to find excuses for why he isn’t in the league when people like Matt Barkley and Blaine Gabbert still are.
Two more plaintiffs added to the Brian Flores lawsuit.

Not sure I see the difference here. Compared to Kaep, those guys were insignificant and inconsequential nobodies. I checked their Wiki pages and I didn't see anything that even remotely came close to that same level of notoriety or infamy, particularly by their own hand.
In fact, digging down, here's a blurb on Barkley's personal life outside the NFL:
What a monster! Aside from the cardinal sin of being a Christian, it would appear that he actually went out in did some real charitable work for people in places that most folks (Kaep included) only talk about. I'm curious, did Kaepernick actually frequently go to South Africa, Haiti or Nigeria (the latter being one of his birth father's ancestral countries of origin) to help out people there? HIS people? I didn't see that in any of his credits or history. Interesting...
Moving on to Gabbert:
So... There's more here about his brothers than about him. He likes to fish and he's apparently really fucking smart. The horror!
Seriously, what am I missing about these two guys that is in any way on par with the boatload of stupid that came from Kaepernick? Why should they not be players in the League? I reiterate - those two are nobody. Name recognition is everything. Kaep had it and he squandered it, burning literally all bridges, and now he's come crawling back, hat in hand, asking those he quite vocally vilified to give him another chance. I'd honestly think the absolute last thing he would ever do is go back to the "slave masters" on their gilded plantations. What does that say about the courage of his convictions, I wonder?

Because they are far inferior quarterbacks. In a league that is supposed to have the best players in the world, they blackballed a far superior talent for his views.
Think how you just described someone who simply knelt during the National Anthem at a football game...
Notoriety and infamy, for kneeling. Jesus Christ.
