Would you sign Colin Kaepernick?

Yes, if the coaching staff believed him to be the best available option to back-up Jared Goff.

Yes. It would make an important statement, even if his skill level is questionable at this point.

No. Even if he is arguably the best option, the attention/distraction he'd bring to the team would override the benefit.

No. Even if he is arguably the best option, I don't like him or his approach, and would not want him on my team.

No. I don't care about his politics or persona. I simply don't believe a QB who has been idle for years could succeed.

why the hate? I don't see why any American shouldn't have the same civil rights, 1st Amendment rights, and Title VII rights as anybody else.

Because it seems far more like a publicity stunt than anything else.

Why should a business care about the public?

Why should Kroenke want the European public to care about his Soccer team?
Why should Kroenke want the ultra wealthy public to grovel over his winery?
Why should Kroenke want the Los Angeles public and World Wide NFL public to take an interest in his team?

Why do I care if a male cheerleader is left handed or right handed?

I don't think it's progressive when it's done as a stunt. Michael Sam wasn't drafted based on his ability, he was drafted based on his identity. Which is just shameful.

Same thing with the male cheerleaders. Was there really a significant contingent asking for or demanding male cheerleaders? How did that improve the team or ticket sales?

Add in the uniforms. This team has become more about stunts and gimmicks than doing what the majority of fans would actually want.

One man's innovative is another man's stunt.
Sam may have been a contingency. Who knows for sure?
The 2 dude cheerleaders are pretty good dancers. I'd rather watch the skirts of course, and Im very not sure the Nitschke men of the 60' would approve, but there are twice the number of people in the US / world since the 60's so you should expect a more diverse crowd.
I wish for my teams success and public perception (especially freshly relocated) is important. Mo fans, no betta..

PS
the uni thing is a blasphemy..

So you're saying the male cheerleaders can't dance?

Scouts Inc. had a 6th round grade on Sam. We took him in the 7th, nothing shameful about that.

The Rams have added a lot of Hispanic themed stuff since moving back to L.A. Is that a stunt?
