Fishy? Not fishy at all. Look at Johnny Manziel, Ray Rice...owners and managers are staying away from them because they don't want unnecessary problems. What Kaepernick did was far more controversial than substance abuse or domestic violence. Protesting the National Anthem is like questioning the legitimacy of our Constitution. He may have some supporters; but majority of the people resented his action. I think his professional football career in the U.S. may have come to an end. I don't think any U.S. team will take him in, including the Arena League. He will probably end up in the Canadian League.
