Well. Saying someone shouldn't be signed, is a distraction, not signable is an encroachment on someone's freedom. People should be disgusted with those things and the league. The league has wife beaters, addicts, murders, drunk drivers ect. But some guy talking about a social issue, right or wrong is too much. Think about that. Ray Lewis , a murderer, has a job on ESPN but people call Kap out for his job for being an "idiot". You know what a "distraction" really is, a manager or coaches inability promote a culture that values results. Jordan doesn't win the last three of his rings without Rodman. And what did the Bulls have to give up to get him, Perdue, not much because the rest of the league was incapable valuing results from wherever it came. The best thing that the 49ers could do is tell the media that "we support Kap in whatever he chooses to do off the field and we are a team that doesn't give a shit what you do or say outside of work. This is the USA and we just want you to show up work, train, take care of yourself, study, and come study play. ". I don't know. But a lot of you talk about how coaches and managers should be doing this or that but if a company operated similarly, talent would just leave. Good culture brings good employees.
