Mr. Kaepernick’s football abilities have been subordinated. Instead, he is now recognized as the NFL’s official “controversial figure.”
Aaron Rodgers’ resignation was not only a setback for the New York Jets, but also a shock to the collective psyche of their fan base.
Rodgers, who had been the shining figure upon whom the Jets had pinned their hopes, now laid shattered.
Kaepernick’s name emerged as the speculation factories began to speculate about potential replacements. Surprisingly, this did not settle well with everyone, particularly the Jets’ head coach.
The coach was overheard exclaiming, “We are attempting to play football here, not to run a political campaign!”
