I'm glad I have the MSB to keep me up to date on ESPN shows.

it's funny that posters will complain that ESPN needs to stick to sports but actual sports discussions here aren't nearly as popular as the Kap threads.

You've got your views twisted I believe, sports message boards are exactly the place where fans should go to tell Kaepernick to shut the frick up, and to tell Bomani Jones to go frick himself when he flashes his AMEX Black race card all over national airwaves. Do you really expect to shut down discussion on this shite? Or do you agree with Bomani and hate to see him called out on his BLM bullshite?

Posting about it on the MSB is going to do that?


There is one way to get your message to the folks who bother you...stop watching, stop listening, don't buy products promoted on their airwaves and let THEM know what you are doing.


Not by circle jerking with the other "It's so hard to be white anymore" crowd.

This is pretty easy. He's a net negative to a team with everything considered. He's just not good at football anymore.

Is the MSB the pinnacle of all sports discussion in the universe? It's the very place this sort of discussion should take place, otherwise you're laying the red carpet for race baiting jackasses like Bomani Jones.

Where the hell was this brought up? Bomani screams that rich, white NFL owners won't pay Kaep because he is black and that somehow correlates to rednecks losing their jobs to cheaper black labor? If you're on Bomani's side of this argument, wouldn't your statement be a complete 180 of his point? He is stating that it's hard to be black because you can't get hired as an NFL quarterback these days.

The problem is, he's not good enough to build a team around, and nobody wants a backup that cannot succeed in a regular offense.

How many teams are really in the market for a QB with his skill set at $10 million?

2? Maybe 3 teams?

FIFY. The owners care about the bottom line more than anything else and they're scared of the potential fan backlash if they sign Kaepernick.

Why do you watch something on purpose that you know will just piss you off? What is freaking wrong with you?

Right, all of us non race baiters can clearly see that. But that doesn't fit the broad brushstroke stance that Bomani is laying out...such a jackass. This guy goes from spot appearances on a show where everybody has to outextreme-viewpoint one another to landing his own radio gig during a time slot that is better than Russillo's.

Unlike others on here, I don't mind Mike and Mike...but they are out this week and Booger was on there hoorahing Bomani on.

Booger said Kaep is better than a majority of the QBs currently on rosters.

I don't understand why people ignore the fact that he's pretty much played like hot garbage after duping the 49ers into paying him.


that + no team wants their BACKUP QB causing possible rifts in the team and fanbase

without the political stuff, he'd be signing as a backup somewhere for like a min deal. i don't get how these media guys are trying to act like he's some great player being kept off the field

they're just given, essentially, a script

selling this martyr story with racism will get more clicks and message board posts

this is all manufactured

This is exactly the point of this thread, somehow it got twisted into white people crying about how hard it is to be white and how there's no room for calling out Bomani on MSB

I forgot who the white guy was co-hosting with Booger, but he brought up how Kaep and his camp are holding out for starter money and a starter position...Booger glossed over it and said Kaep set the world on fire down the stretch last year

It could be that he isn't a good QB. Just a hunch though.

This is exactly the point of this thread,



Was it???


This was/is your original post:

The fricker took an extremely polarizing stance on things well beyond his understanding and now he is paying the consequences, just like any of us would at any of our real world jobs. Of course owners are leary of paying this guy millions for subpar play and a weekly media circus. frick Bomani.



It's more about Bomani and Kap's stance. two words about his play.


So in reality, you don't even know what your own thread is about

He's a slightly above average QB with minimal intrigue and an expensive price tag. If he's asking for the vet minimum and not on a roster in 4 months, Bomani might have a point.
