It is very simple, Don't EVER bring your politics to the office. Especially if your best years are behind you.

Sincerity of his convictions
 

After making many political statements that got a lot of press he didn't bother to vote in the 2016 election. Failing to vote makes it hard to argue that your political views should be taken seriously. If I was his agent I would have been furious with him as soon as I found out he chose to not vote because it hurt his moral credibility.

I fully support his right to voice his opinions even if it is not an opinion I share nor expressed in a way I would express it. I also fully support other's rights to disagree with him and boycott, protest, etc.

His 15 minutes was up a long time ago.
Now he's simply an oddity to be gawked at in a sideshow.

And he's fortunate to get THAT much attention!

Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before in
our generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous adversity. We
have weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars overseas, corporate
scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock price plunges, droughts, fires, and a
myriad of economic and physical disasters both great and small. But now, we
must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.

Many NFL players like Colin Kaepernick in our very own nation are living in despicable living conditions of hatred, discrimination and, worst of all, barely above the seven-figure salary level. Poor Colin has been so weakened by the conditions he lives in that he can barely stand up for the national anthem in the country that made him so rich.


For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NFL player like Colin remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem to fix his ungrateful butt but it's a start and every little bit will help!



Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to players like Colin it could mean the difference between spending his money on crutches or possibly another Ferrari and a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with COBRA, but to Colin, $700 will help supplement his salary. That's right. Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable an NFL player like Colin to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

Here's an interesting article on kapernick and RG3.
They've had very similar careers, both started in 2012 and both are out of the league, for the same reasons (deficiencies in their games).
