Kap had a HUGE contract that he negotiated in good faith when the 49ers where winning.More and more people will begin to realize that. when you draw a lot of attention to yourself under controversy the truth begins to surface and credibility begins to falter. Warrick Dunn a Baton Rouge native who played in the NFL was raised by a single mother she was a Police Officer who was killed in the line of Duty. Since Warrick's mother sacrificed so much for him and his younger siblings as well as the community Warrick gave back by donating a lot of money to single mothers raising children. I met his mother on a few occasions she was a very soft spoken kind person just as Warrick is. These are the types of people who care and make sacrifices. These are the ones that truly inspire with no expectation of anything in return.
He renegotiated the contract a few years later into a 2 year deal. After the first year, Kap activated the opt out clause and walked away from another highly paid year. He could of stayed and forced the 49ers to pay him. It was totally his decision.
The guy has probably made around $100 million dollars in the NFL. I'm not finding where Kap has donated a lot to make his community that he supposedly care about better. I did find where he pledged a million dollars to something but can't find what it is and what it did with the money.
The NFL at one time was going to pledge $25 million dollars a year over a period of five years to be directed at local charities at the direction of the players. It appears that it is off the table.
So Kap is walking around with most of his money. He's getting more from Nike. He arguably cost three NFL coaches their jobs.
So this youtuber is right. Kap hasn't sacrificed anything. Originally Posted by gnadfly

That guy in uniform isn't getting any national recognition, nobody knows his name and he isn't getting a multimillion dollar contract to put himself in harms way to deliver others from it. He's done it before and he's willing to do it again. I am sure of it. Funny how it goes, those that don't do anything to make another person life better are quick to tell everyone else what they should do. Of course Colin Kaepernick is the poster child for that.Originally Posted by LexusLover
