While talking to Naji of “Cigar Talk” lately, Antonio Brown made explosive comments against Kaepernick’s intentions and called his skillset a “trash” on the field. He was skeptical about the QB’s contributions to the community and questioned whether they had made a difference in society. Brown doesn’t believe that Kaepernick still wants to play after settling his past lawsuit with the NFL.
“He took a deal,” Brown said on the show. “We don’t feel sorry for you. You took the deal. F*** outta here. Oh, Kaepernick!'” he added in a mocking tone. “Man, you on f***ing Nike, man. F*** outta here.” Brown added to his comments.
Surprisingly, the 33-year-old free agent didn’t stop there, he went on to criticize his intention for his future in the NFL. Brown thinks that Kaepernick doesn’t want to play.
“All that is Kap,” Brown said. “We ain’t respecting that, bro. You took the money, the commercials. We don’t see you outside. We don’t see him in the hood. He doesn’t do anything. Like, we cool. But, nah, we ain’t even stan Kaepernick.” Brown added in the interview.
He thinks the settlement Kap reached with the league in 2019 sufficiently took care of him. It has been more than six years since Kaepernick played in the NFL. As a quarterback, he faced backlash in 2016 for kneeling while the National anthem played at the start of the matches. Former Niners safety Eric Reid also joined him in the silent procession.
