I don't care that Ramsey liked the tweet. I'm not surprised either.
I'm also not surprised that Spike Lee, who I kinda forgot existed, would do this.

Is this political? I suppose it is a lil political now for everyone involved. But I refuse to believe that Kaep is talented ENOUGH to warrant the circus of media that will undoubtedly follow him as a starter OR a back up into the season. So he isn't being employed because HE made the CHOICE to do something pretty stupid... put his politics above himself and his career at such a young age. It was his right and now he has the responsibility of dealing with whatever happens from exercising your rights. Is it fair? Maybe not... but if he was a better QB it wouldn't matter. He'd have a job, whether in Seattle... or Baltimore.. or Miami.. or Jacksonville.

But he isn't a better. He's just some running around QB who had a good run on a really good team, years ago.
Is he better than most backups? Yeah, probably... but not good enough to warrant the media asking about your backup every day. Sorry... that's the biz...
Don't like the biz? Stop buying it. Stop watching. But please for the love of God, stop [BLEEP] about this frickin guy not gettin a fair break.
When you make a polarizing statement like that... you are opting out of fair breaks and going for ground breaking.

I'd respect him so much more if he kept it up and gave to flips about football to continue his message. But he tucked tail and ran as soon as it got hard.
Well, America doesn't forget. We have MEMEs and saved tweets and instagrams now.
Why are teams willing to brush aside assault and drug charges for defensive ends? Cuz there aren't enough pass rushers.
Why did Adrian Peterson get another shot after whipping his kid til he bled? Cuz AP was a beast for a decade at the shortest shelf life position.
Why wouldn't Kaep get a shot??? Great QBs don't grow on trees ya know! So why isn't he getting a fair shot?? Oh.. he's not good enough.
Period.
