The statement made by the coach paints a vivid picture: it is either him or me. Jets management is confronted with an unprecedented situation.
Should they expose themselves to the public press in order to bribe Kaepernick or the board, or should they risk the wrath (and potential exit) of their head coach?
Remember when everyone was debating the merits of players’ knees? It appears that we are about to descend further into that rabbit tunnel. Also, this time, with the addition of grilled chicken.
In a league where players frequently transfer teams and loyalties are, at best, fleeting, the saga of Kaepernick and the Jets raises a fundamental question: What is the NFL’s strategy?
Is it a primary sporting arena, or has it evolved into a platform for societal commerce? The Jets’ situation exemplifies this existential predicament.
For all of his faults, Kaepernick brings a media circus with him. Every move, throw, and knee would be meticulously scrutinized and debated indefinitely.
