Kaepernick is still a free agent. And he’s much more talented than Tebow who the RR contends was “blacklisted” for being a Christian.

Professional sports are on one hand, a multi-billion-dollar business.

On the other hand, they are seen as a repository and guarantor for American virtues of fair play, team spirit and the striving for personal excellence, and the chance for a kid from humble origins to reach the very top of his profession (and make millions advertising products made by children in Asian sweatshops for eight dollars a week)

And in a nation that wants to privatize everything from schools to prisons, cities still have no trouble reconciling themselves to grant these teams massive subsidies to relocate there.

In other words, they are a microcosm of nearly everything that is fucked up about our society.
