Yup. When his lawyer hands him that big owners' collusion lawsuit cheque.
In the meantime, CK is at the Alcatraz Sunrise Ceremony, hard at work sjw-ing.
I don't think he's a bad guy.
Maybe he just didn't think through all the ramifications of his decision. I also don't think he believed it would become this big. But to his credit, he made a choice and he is standing by it.
I don't think he is painting all police with the same brush.
But I think it is more than just bad apples.... the union and system that allows these bad apples to hang around is a bigger problem than just a few bad cops. Not to mention the thin blue line where cops will lie and back each other up or stay silent.

2018 off season it's expected the free agent QB field to be one of the best ever for available talent. More bad news for CK, the appeal of a militant whiner QB who despises cops and loves Castro and has a limited skill set is about nil.
CK is mentally ill. Delusional. Your position doesn't seem far from it either.

Meanwhile child abusing Adrian Peterson is playing, cocaine addled Micheal Irvin, cheating Tom Brady deflate gate, videotaping opponent practice Bill Bellicheck, homophobic comment making assistant coach Mike Priefer, sexual assaulting Ben Rothesberger, dog abusing Micheal Vick all have/had jobs.
All of those things are okay but heaven forbid you kneel protesting black social problems.
As if none of these guys were "distractions"
There are plenty of teams with worse QBs than CK.
The nfl paid 100s of millions out for concussion suit. they will pay off CK too. That stuff is drop in the bucket for the league.
Not so sure about this. I do not think that he had a clue that he would become unemployable, when he did this. Remember, he had a good, well paying job with the 49ers when he did this and opted out of his contract. I am sure that at that time that he was confident of future employment. Surprise!
Not so sure he is standing by his decision. No team wants to employ him, so he seems to simply be left standing on the outside looking in. Not sure if he will ever get a job again:
1. The anthem issue
2. The snowball affect of initiating the anthem protest
3. The cops are pigs socks
4. The likely fan backlash for a team that signs him
5. The collusion law suit
6. The Team distraction that will come from his signing. Sure, other players have been a distraction, but it is not plan A for a team.
7. The possible league blame ascribed to him for some of the drop in ratings.

Watch this video..... you'll see that CK is better than you give him credit for.
Plus my earlier post shows that he is certainly better than a fair number of current starters.
People forgive winners. He could certainly help at least 10 or more teams.
He should claim that he is part Cherokee. It might help him become get back in the game. Look what it did for Pocahontas. Sometimes in order to play the game, you have to know how to play the game. *wink*
If he were a Rhodes Scholar, or had a full freight postgraduate tuition offer he likely wouldn't have been playing in the NFL.
Hence your point is sound.
