Supposedly he was at the end of several functions (one of them youth) he had done that day and was taking a break with his family at the movie. Before leavong he told one woman sorry, I cannot sign, we are leaving. A crowd gathered. Then a woman came running up holding her child and wanted a picture. She quickly became agitated, cursing, etc. Hense the Facebook rant.
Who knows what happened. In the bay area we see a lot of local interviews that the nation doesn't. My impression of him in 2011 as a rookie was a very goofy kid, always smiling during every interview and every question. We heard all the stories about the good things he did at Nevada, like buying his own jersey for a kid that came in the local sports store. These are the reasons I defended him so vehemently on this board.
When he hit the limelight he barely spoke with national media. People hate that but I love it. I could care less what he gives the national media. He is still engaging and humble on our radio, and our radio guys live him. People hate the biceps kiss and the flipping of the ball at Clay Mathews in the playoffs. I love it. He is the ant Alex Smith. He has fire and moxy. The panthers all mocked Kap's bicep kiss in their win, and then everyone jumped on him for giving the Superman mock back when we won. I love his competitiveness.
So maybe he's a dick,; who knows. But at least now you know how I formed my opinion. Lol, if anyone cared to know.
And your opinion is???? I thought you at one time said that you were becoming disillusioned by Kaepernick's antics.
I don't know what I said River. I'm not really into playing the gotcha game here anymore. In this specific post I was referring to the genesis behind my defending him in our many arguments in the past - not what happened in Miami. Your definition of "antics" and mine are clearly different, because I can't recall nary an antic he has ever been involved in. You are obviously referring to curt interviews, Dolphin hat talk and things that are not even on my radar of caring about.
Like I said, if he begins to have legal trouble then you move on and do so without hesitation. All I was doing was giving you a background on how my opinion was formed. Obviously, that opinion would change if there are/were REAL reasons (ie legal, locker room conflicts) to believe he is a detriment to our team.
I'm kinda over the pissing match he said he said stuff though. I'd prefer to enjoy my blogging time again.
I'm not trying to play 'gotcha.' I was under the distinct impression that you were growing weary of CK. Perhaps I was wrong. But for the record, just what is your opinion? Is Colin Kaepernick a worthy "Face of the Franchise" for your team?
