it actually made sense that he wanted the media there. so i don't agree with that assesment
Are people saying that they don't believe the story from Kap/his lawyers?
- </li>
- NFL says we need you to sign an agreement
</li> - Kap thinks it is the standard injury waiver
</li> - NFL has actually included language to stop his social/political protests/demonstrations on NFL time
</li> - Kap refuses and moves the tryout after this new language is discovered by his lawyers
</li>
That makes the NFL look kinda shady for waiting until the last minute to spring this crap. Doesn't it?
Wait wait wait. Where did you get that the language stops his social/political demonstrations. I have not seen any report that have read the contract on camera say this. From what I have seen it is a standard contract, he signed before, with an added section stating he cannot sue them if none of the teams sign him. That is the part his team highlighted to ESPN as the reason why he refused to sign.
Can you provide the link to a new contract reading of it because I must have missed it.
It was something his lawyer said and I heard it on CNN the day the "tryout" happened
JORDAN VEASY, HIS RECEIVER, GOT SIGNED UP BY NFL FOR REDSKINS.

Colin Kaepernick's workout results in NFL team signing ?ó?Ç?ö but for his receiver, not for Kaepernick
A lot of people are going to be angry about this.
The controversial NFL workout intended to obtain a quarterback job for Colin Kaepernick instead resulted in a job for the player who served as his receiver.
Jordan Veasy was showcased in a viral video at the tryout where Kaepernick threw a long pass to him. The video garnered more than 3 million views.
On Wednesday, he confirmed that he had been signed to the practice squad for the Washington Redskins.
"It helped," Veasy said of the tryout. "That's one of the reasons I wanted to be a part of it. Just being a part of the history of it, and I knew it was going to help me."
Veasy had been flown out to Cleveland, Ohio, to try out for the Browns, but they did not offer him a position.
The Kaepernick tryout imploded when the former NFL quarterback made demands just hours ahead of the event planned at the Atlanta Falcons' training facility. He instead tried out for the media at a local high school.
Critics accused him of wanting to create a marketing spectacle instead of actually wanting to try out for a position with an NFL team.
"Three hours before the workout," explained Stephen A. Smith of ESPN. "Colin Kaepernick wants to change the venue. Colin Kaepernick wants his own receivers. Colin Kaepernick wants to video things himself.
"Colin Kaepernick wants the media, this is the Colin Kaepernick ?ó?Ç?ö the media can't find him! He does no interviews, he don't talk to nobody, media can't find him but he wants to do media! He wants the media available now," he added.
"You see, you see," Smith concluded. "He don't wanna play. He wants to be a martyr. But guess what, it ain't workin' this time
