Colin Kaepernick apparently begged for a job on the practice team — Warren Sapp explains why the Jets don't want him
Who wouldn’t want Colin Kaepernick on their team?
The New York Jets, that's who.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned activist famously began taking a knee during "The Star-Spangled Banner" during football games to protest on behalf of BLM, which ignited plenty of conversations as to whether activism should be a part of sports.
Kaepernick then filed a formal complaint alleging that NFL team owners colluded to keep him off the field in the wake of his protests, which concluded with a confidential settlement.
Now, he’s begging the New York Jets to sign him to their practice squad.
“I would be honored and extremely grateful for the opportunity to come in and lead the practice squad,” the letter read. “I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week.”
A day later, the Jets signed Trevor Siemian.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp thinks he knows why Kaepernick’s begging isn’t working.
“I know that the people that make the decisions about football don’t want Colin involved in it,” Sapp tells Jason Whitlock. “You made a decision, you got the settlement, now go on. There’s no way you sue your boss and get back and get a job again. That just doesn’t happen.”
“There’s some mistakes you can’t recover from,” Whitlock agrees.
“It’s plain and simple. They bring a lot of people in on Tuesday. If you’re not getting invited on Tuesday around the league, then you are not considered an asset to the National Football League or any football team. So let it go,” Sapp adds.

Overly generous White House gives jet tech secrets to India
If you need someone to hand over advanced fighter jet technology to another country, look no further than Joe Biden.
The Biden administration signed off on a deal with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that will allow General Electric to produce jet engines with Hindustan Aeronautics, a state-owned company.
Mark Levin, while never surprised at Biden’s decisions, is not pleased.
“And so, the Indian aerospace industry, for the first time, will be making our engines. Why would you do that?” Levin asks, clearly disappointed.
Meanwhile, America is struggling, and it seems to be far from Biden’s first priority.
“We’re trying to bring manufacturing back to America — particularly these manufacturers who build things like jets, tanks, and stuff like that,” Levin says. “And this guy, he pretends he’s pro-American, he’s pro-labor union, and he can’t shove it out the door fast enough to other countries.”
Not only that, but according to Levin, “jet engine technology is widely considered the holy grail of aviation tech.”
“So this idiot in the Oval Office is giving our technology to the Indian government,” he adds.
While manufacturing jet engines in India will be transformational for Indian aerospace, it doesn’t bode well for America.
“Just another country with our technology,” Levin laments. “Somebody in the Biden family’s got to be on the payroll here.”
While to some it may not seem like a big deal, the United States has historically never allowed the transfer of technology of this importance to anyone.
Biden has changed that.
“Because Big Joe’s in the Oval Office, we’ll transfer technology to anybody. India wants it? Good. China steals it? That’s okay, if it helps their economy, that helps our economy,” Levin mocks.
