NFL execs compare Colin Kaepernick to Rae Carruth

[Cookie Lyon]

This is truly insane to compare Kaepernick to a guy that paid a hitman to murder his pregnant girlfriend. 

They called him a traitor and another executive also vowed to resign if the owner of the team asked him to sign Kaepernick. What a sick world we live in.

Why do you think it's fabricated?

 

 

[CRA]

Now the media is doing there thing....where they paint a world we don't actually live in.  I hate the we polled 20 people and let's listen to the one crazy guy to set the tone despite the other 19 being normal humans current media. 

But as an employer getting ready for a season and looking in that vacuum it is understandable why a team wouldn't want him.  They want to play a football season not deal with a Tebowesqe circus of it came to that.

Feels like click bait. B/R at it again.

In before page 10.

Makes about as much sense as comparing him to Muhammad Ali.

No GMs are talking to BR. They make this one exception on a controversial topic and say crazy things that will just so happen a ton of clicks?

Nah.

I love the #veteransforkapernick hashtag that's been circulating through Twitter, and I really like what ESPN's Stan Verett had to say.

Anyways, this is crazy. Not surprised, though. I just hope he doesn't back down.

Can't wait for regular season.

I'm not a big BR fan, but to be fair the article doesn't actually say what the thread title says it does.

Here's the Rae Carruth reference in full:

All seven estimated 90 to 95 percent of NFL front offices felt the same way they did. One executive said he hasn't seen this much collective dislike among front office members regarding a player since Rae Carruth. Remember Rae Carruth? He's still in prison for the plot to murderhis pregnant girlfriend.

So what the executive actually said was that he hasn't seen someone this universally disliked since Rae Carruth.

That's not the same as saying Colin Kaepernick is just as bad as Rae Carruth.

People are still free to criticize the executives stance on Kaepernick, of course, but it makes more sense to criticize then for something they actually said.

The thread title here isn't truly accurate.
