Two serious questions about Kaepernick

Hoping for serious answers on two things I've noticed:

 

1) Why does he do press conferences in kind of scrubby clothing rather than a suit, with headphones around his neck and a hat on backwards? Why doesn't this come into criticism by anyone including media? No one even mentions it really. Is it because he wins? Why does his organization allow that? Have they just accepted that the suit thing is not his bag and don't care? Is it just because San Fran is a liberal ass city and they don't care that their face of the franchise has a conservative look?

 

2) Why does he always do his presser with Frank Gore sitting on his lap? I've seen this now three times... it's odd. Frank talks like he's taken too many head shots too.

( a ) He does not always do the presser with Gore. He's done it with Crabtree, Boldin, by himself, etc. He does this so as to not hog all the limelight. He's trying to reinforce to his teammates that he is there working the grind with them and doesn't think too highly of himself.

 

 

( b ) Why he dresses the way he does:

 

Why does Tom Brady dress like a metrosexual for press conferences? My guess is he likes the look.

why does your organization allow that? It's got a shady look to the outsider. Say my wife or friend who is not a huge football fan sees him for the first time, after seeing 90% of NFL QB's doing their presser in a suit when I have NFL network on.

 

Why would your organization want to allow that?

Guessed what? That I am sitting here with the highlights on seeing Kaepernick's press conference and wondering two questions that I don't know the answer to?

 

You're bitter about something else. You're being the bitch.

 

Yet you have a thread dedicated to people who want you banned? I'm just calling out what I see.

You seem confused.... the thread was a poster calling for me to be banned. Stop hyjacking threads and read other threads more slowly.

 

Do you know how to read? A poster wanted you banned and you have a whole bunch of other posters cosigning it. 

 

How about you take the time to read, take a hint and join another fanbase.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
