Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy spoke out about the Colin Kaepernick mess. Kaepernick, 29, was unofficially blackballed for using the NFL as a platform for his social justice protests last season.
McCoy said the free agent quarterback is not worth the distraction he would bring to any team willing to sign him this late into the preseason (the regular season starts on Sept. 7).
“It’s a lot more than just he’s not on the team because he doesn’t want to stand for the national anthem,” McCoy said after team practice on Thursday. “That may have something to do with it, but I think also it has a lot to do with his play. I’m sure a lot of teams wouldn’t want him as their starting quarterback. That chaos that comes along with it, it’s a lot.”

Kaepernick morphed into a social justice warrior only after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers for his poor performance on the field in 2016.
He refused to stand up for the national anthem, saying he was protesting police brutality against unarmed black men. But many observers believe he was simply drawing attention to himself on the bench.
“As a team, trying to win and not have a distraction on the team, I just take that as a player – there’s certain players that could be on the team with big distractions,” said McCoy, “and there’s other players that it’s not good enough or not worth it. I think his situation is not good enough to have him on the team with all the attention that comes along with it.”
McCoy added that protesters such as those who rallied outside the NFL headquarters in NYC are just followers without any independent thought of their own.
“One thing I learned about just here in America is that people, they’re followers. There’s some that you may ask about these different topics, but they’ll say what they heard, not what they actually know, even with the Kaepernick situation,” McCoy said.
When asked how Kaepernick’s situation compared to Mike Vick, who was McCoy’s Philadelphia Eagles teammate after being released from prison, McCoy said, “He’s 10 times better than Kaepernick.”
“You’ll deal with that situation, that attention, that media aspect of it. The good, the bad attention you’ll get. Compared to Kaepernick, it’s like, he’s not really that good [enough] of a player to deal with.”
They don’t call him Shady McCoy for nothing!!! Me thinks he’s taken too many hits to his head!!
I can’t wait until it’s his turn and he’s begging black people to do the same for them. They never let you forget that your black.
I pray nothing happens to one of his family members and they need justice
SMH.

I wouldn’t say 10x better but why are they comparing the two???????? Mike is a criminal, Ray Lewis is a criminal. Yet their criminal backgrounds are compared to someone who did nothing wrong but take a stance on injustice
…BUT he is an African American Male with a CAUSE; that also AFFECTS yo Azz. This CLOWN will have his DAY. In 5-4-3-2-1. #HouseNinja
Umph umph umph. This is what’s hot in the streets. Where oh where do they find these people. I guess this is his opinion and he’s entitled to it.
Zackly.
You know this is what I don’t get. They are behaving as if this man committed a criminal act. It was nothing of the sort. Peaceful protest against the law now?
or he can just STFU too. But you are correct Opinions are like AzzHoles everyone has ’em.
Pulls out bullhorn
IT IS NOT ABOUT HIS PLAYING SKILLS I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF BENCH WARMERS WHO DON’T HARDLY SEE ANY ACTION! IT IS MORE ABOUT WHAT HE STOOD AGAINST THAT PUT HIM OUT OF THE NFL..SIT YO ENTIRE TOM ASS DOWN..YOUR COON MASK IS SHOWING..
“Kaepernick morphed into a social justice warrior only after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers for his poor performance on the field in”
He started kneeling in the pre-season, and he wasn’t playing because he wasn’t ready — he ended 2015 on the injured reserve list.
He also wasn’t benched in 2016, as I believe San Francisco won one of their last two games with him as QB.
I understand the movement i really do but any football fan (especially us niners) can understand this guys overall point..kaep is not a GOOD football player for all the uproar he is causin..now if we were talkin about a good qb such as dak i think the response n support would be different from fellow nfl players..but kaep is jus not that good for any team to take on his baggage..nfl is a business 1st!
I keep hearing people say this…BUT im not sure what one has to do with the other. It’s as if people are consciously missing the point here. Worth the distraction? It’s so minimizing to what he actually kneeled for. So all the women abusers, the rapist, the dope heads, the NFL continues to employ, are employed because they play a damn good game? Someone please explain to me, what this has to do with anything
At least Collin was brave enough, to speak out against injustice. Ugh this clown needs to worry about his herpes dilemma and that gold digger he’s shacked up with! These house negroes is the reason why, Mama Tubman carried a gun, and Nat’s Revolution didn’t catch fire.
AAAANNND ANOTHER THING..SO YOU SAAAYING THAT WIFE BEATERS, CHEATERS, DRUGUSERS ARENT A DISTRACTION..BUT A SIMPLE KNEE TO THE GROUND IS?
GEEEEEEET THEEEEEEE ENNNNTIIIIIIIIIIRE THA FUUUUUUUUK OUTTA HERE!!
These butter biscuit eating sambos are the worst.
LaSean… DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!
The NFL hired people LESSER qualified…. because he is being punished for taking a stand on injustice.
Just a matter of time before LaSean will be whining about something they did to him that he may consider unfair!
FOR YOU SIR..SPEECHAL DELIVERY..THIS IS YOUR REWARD FOR YOUR JIG YOU JUST DID WE CAPTURED YOUR FACE JUUST RIIGHT

Smh sometimes it’s better to keep quiet. Good player or not He standing up for something that’s Right. for sports to be 90% black more players should have his back instead of following the white man to their next paycheck. Cause guess what Without black players every last sport will fall besides hockey lol
This reminds me of someone I knoooww..hmmm…I can’t place the name but I know this person is a KNOWN TRUMP supporter who bashes her on kind as well as her own people she identifies with….yall The name slips me..
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5a1e5ab1b303658992289fdc4262748e31c9914b12ead2bd918480008c62a3ec.jpg
I understand the premise of what McCoy is saying: That Kap is an on-the-field distraction and a locker room distraction, as opposed to just a media distraction, which I guess he’s alleging was the case with Vick and others. That’s a pretty weak argument though: I guess no NFLers own dogs? Nobody has females in their live that they like or respect? And as far as his opinion on Kap’s play, it’s just that: An opinion. He’s a running back, not a talent evaluator. You can find a wide range of opinions on Kap across the league, and personally I think plenty of teams could at least seem him as a viable backup.
If they can’t support him, they should shut up. This man is standing up for what is RIGHT! HISTORY ****WILL**** be on Kaepernick’s side!!! Human beings may not always do what is RIGHT at the time, but upon honest, objective reflection, those who stand for moral and ethical truth and justice are ALWAYS looked at favorably in hindsight..it might take decades, it might take 100 years, but Kaepernick is on the right side of this fight!
The shuck and jive is real ?
It’s always the ones not doing anything that have the most to say. Regardless of whether he’s good enough or not, he’s doing something on behalf of Black people. What are YOU doing, Mr. McCoy?
“But many observers believe he was simply drawing attention to himself on the bench.” I wonder what those “many observers” are doing for the world around them other than running their mouths? I wonder how many people made those same comments about MLK, Malcolm, Dick Gregory, and the rest of those who risked life and limb for the betterment of Black folks? I think people envy his strength because they lack it. I’m sure Kaep knew what he was in for. What person wouldn’t? They act as if he didn’t make a conscious effort to kneel.
I say F all the naysayers and keep doing what you do, Colin. Remember, people had a whole lot to say about Jesus, and He was perfect.
These house negroes is the reason why, Mama Tubman carried a gun, and Nat’s Revolution didn’t catch fire.
____________
Spineless, unworthy and useless forms of life I tell ya…
Happy i dont watch football! I would never support this.
Lesean McCoy, like all of us, is benefiting today from the sacrifices other people made in the past to take a stand for racial justice.
For him to throw Kap under the bus like this is just foolish. He should have just kept his mouth shut.
Its always the cotton picking Negros that don’t want to leave the plantation. But I’m guessing his owner got him out of that mess he was in a few months back over fighting cops in the club in Philly.
All these fools dogging him about what he’s doing should be joining him. WAit till it’s your turn. Cause you know y’all heads stay stuck up in white ass so much y’all starting to look infected ?? to me.
It wouldnt surprise me if Lesean McCoy voted for Trump. He seems like that kind of negro.
The cops wanted his head on a platter a few months ago.
Didn’t he take yall to the Super bowl? I mean the 49ers as a whole suck.
BUT Kaep was good last season, his team sucked. On top of the fact that there are many starting QB’s, Cutler for instance, that are way worse than he was but have jobs.
Wonder if he spoke out about Riley Cooper when he was on the team making racial slurs etc? These types of Kneegrows are quick to denounce these types of actions, but will tap dance around the other issues.
Nope he didn’t.
Divide and conquer. We shall never overcome some day…
./
I have to agree with him on people being followers. He sure ain’t lying about that.
I suspected.
“As a team, trying to win and not have a distraction on the team”, SMFH. There is far more to life than winning a football game,, I used to rock with Shady McCoy too. Oh well !
He should have just said “No comment” and gone on his way.
I love football! Is there anyway we can boycott the NFL besides not watching football? I really anticipate the games and it’s a huge part of my entertainment. How about we boycott the advertisers of the game, like not buy the products during a particular day of the week…Or write letters, emails, call or FB the NFL in protest? So many other ways that the public can really get behind supporting Kaepernick besides not watching football. Did I say I love Football lol…?
Well, he’s giving me a good reason to root against his team this year. I hope the Bills lose every game this season.
He still has to learnt. Still green behind the ears.
Ignorance at its finest ladies and gentlemen!
Cotton picking negroes. Lol
Collin was good enough to make it to the Super Bowl.
No he didn’t take us to the superbowl..we had a SQUAD back at that time..was heartedly a team effort!
Kaepernick is preparing the NFL for what they may face if they let Justin Timberlake perform at the super bowl..I hope that’s only rumor.
just saying https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d5a1e724adbcdd84694e53f80151d7ca118145c6265019d42e5fc1c85479d7e6.png
Sometimes its best to just be quiet. It would have been golden here. LeSean karma is real and nothing in the NFL is guaranteed, him today you tomorrow.
Is this person from across the pond, from a country called the United Kingdom? Is she also a nurse? Please clarify.
Oh how I hollered LOOOOOOL??
People act like Kaepernick disrespected the flag or his country or something. Its not like he spit on the flag or turned his back when the national anthem was being sung.
He just took a knee, that’s all… as a simple, silent protest for innocent unarmed people who are being killed in this country.
Should add McCoy’s face and put it on his FB and Twitter lol.
LaSean. Enough said.
My friend and I have met Lesean’s lame as before. I’ll just leave it at that.
Anyway, it’s funny he said Vick is 10x better, because I don’t remember Ron Mexico’s coon ass getting to a Super Bowl like Kaep did. Lesean won’t ever get to one either. What a bum. These losers will say anything to please their owners.
Amazing how a person’s opinion can really make you not like them…
Kaepernick would still have a job if he hadn’t opted out of his contract with the Niners! I can think of millions of things black folks can worry about but some what to waste time on this foolishness, while people in our community starve, are jobless and crime is out of control. I can’t wait for football season to start I’m not boycotting nothing because of this fool.
Yes, but it’s deeper than that. He took a knee against White supremacy. The NA, the flag, and their graven images should never be “disrespected.”
In Fayetteville, a brother was teaching his students about free speech, well he made one of the worst mistakes known to White America: He burned the flag. Now, Fayetteville is the home of Fort Bragg. That action cost him his job!
White folks revere the flag. They are idols that represent what they stole, but claim is theirs, so to do anything to demean it is to stand against White supremacy. I mean, they are willing to pay out millions of dollars to victims of police brutality in order to keep the boys/girls in blue the assassination arm of White supremacy. That, to me, is what the anger at Kaep is all about. JMO.
It’s not like he just walked away from his job. He was going to get cut anyway. The 49er’s themselves confirmed that.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-49ers-wouldve-cut-colin-kaepernick-if-he-hadnt-opted-out-of-his-contract/
Right ! And Doug Baldwin said that an NFL owner told all of his players that they WILL stand during the national anthem, put their hand over their hearts and sing because it’s his show. I’m thinking this owner is Jerry Jones… Doug never revealed who it was though.
MsPam, you disappoint me.
McCoy is an average player, he doesn’t have any room to talk about anyone’s abilities.
You as well! I’m not a follower, what is boycotting going to do for you?! ? Besides James Brown said we rather die on feet than live on our knees.
A fool? How?
i can agree with this for the most part. i wish they would put this kind of attention on the crime rates going up in the our urban areas. i do agree that he didn’t start this boycotting until he was benched.

if you watch the games then you don’t support black people? if you don’t buy black you don’t support the movement? we gotta stop this thinking
Whatever.
Ask MLK! ????? These broads slow AF!
They’ve spend decades talking about the crime rate in urban areas, all but ignoring the crime rate and drug use in theirs.
It’s not about you, me, or anyone else. What a boycott will do is hit the NFL in their pocketbook for discrimination against a man’s right to protest. Maybe his actions will open up the eyes of many and give them courage to stand up regardless of the cost. I don’t understand why you and others are so hostile. How is his taking a knee and protest affecting you. The vitriol is real.
I think it’s because they don’t have the guts to do it, so they resent those who do.
They were already going to release him.
Stacey Dash for the win
I wonder how long he will have this opinion about CK. I hear George Foreman somewhere moonwalking his way back out of what he said and now he feels CK deserves to play in the NFL.
*my caption below for LaSean McCoy*
(muthafuka stfu and swallow a donkey’s diick)
I’m a football fanatic as well!!! Looking for a game now.
If this is all McCoy can offer, HE is more of a distraction than Kaep!!! I remember Kaep more than LaSean. And Kaep still plays better than some quarterbacks with jobs today. I DON’T remember LaSean on the great list of football players!!! If you can’t help Kaep, LEAVE HIM ALONE.
THEY always find one, always! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/36aba419c0c878b2b4e365ba3a57f3b61bafe9dd7d8bd8b63979ccfca19ad293.png
You are an idiot
You are a clown
This coming from a nicca that was tricking on craigslist hoes at Positano Coast in Philly three summers ago…but thats none of my business…
LeSean needs to STFU
1. Back in 2014, McCoy left a 20-cent tip on a $61.56 tab at a Philadelphia restaurant
2. Back in 2013, LeSean McCoy had a public dispute with the mother of his child on Twitter. The mother of his child accused him of not being there for his son, and McCoy fired back by telling his followers to tell her to get a job and stop begging for child support.
3.Kelly traded away McCoy from the Eagles last March, and McCoy didn’t like how the trade happened. He had been traded before Kelly even told him. Not long after the trade, McCoy said Kelly was getting rid of all of Philadelphia’s good black players. He never backed down from that comment.
4.McCoy’s latest off-field incident occurred Sunday after a brawl at a Philadelphia club over a bottle of champagne. McCoy and three others are suspects in the alleged assault of two off-duty police officers who were hospitalized as a result of the beating.
I get what he is trying to say. Trust me, if he was a valuable player they’d be fighting each other to sign him regardless, as they have for other players who have been under scrutiny
Now this^^^^^ is what I call RECEIPTS!!
How about if someone ask you a question about SOMEONE Else’s BUSINESS you just say no comment ?? ijs?????
I don’t believe ish the white devil says….they can make any thing up after the fact…LIES
I’m crine!! ?????
i dont kno anyone named LaSean ?????
I had a teenage boyfriend who’s name was La Sean ?
I think you may be right.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9eb2b76e506e38d5072dd1cf3ad262774eb5ffcb7856de93eefa3205f33fbcb1.gif
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. ???
Not hostile at all ole boy didn’t make me nor can he break me.
Ita. Playwise he was on the decline before his pro black stance which I applaud
?????
Wow, that was a lil shady. I wonder if he’ll feel this way in the near future about players in the league who may subject their teams/the league to “distractions” because of drug dependency, poor judgment, criminal activity, etc. Will he voice the same ‘they’re not worth it’ opinion if their stats aren’t impressive enough?
You can decide not to throw your support behind a particular “cause” but you can still have a bit of compassion or empathy for those affected.
Negros (yes, plural) please.
The same LeSean that was outed by his girlfriend for cheating and having a little penis?? That one? Oh ok!!!!
Thank you
Its all about his stand and being Pro black. The NFL is a racist organization
Dont forget his girlfriend Delicia caught him with an escort and talked about his little penis. Then her nasty arse took him back
thank you!!! straight up clown!!1
He has donated over 1 million dollars to causes including people starving and kids in need. He is someone who should be supported . Someone who spoke out for the atrocities against people of color. Some folks are never satisfied and will never understand the power of boycotting and taking a stand…. geez
Why cant the attention be on both? This brother has done numerous things for the community including his stand…
THISSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Thank you
I knew a girl named Lashawn
Right a peaceful protest and they still mad
The same one that his girlfriend ex boyfriend accused of giving her herpes? Can we consider these distractions?
Nope! You are still supporting a racist organization. Watch college football or soccer or rugby.
You have to take a stand and be inconvenienced to be able to be heard. If you arent wiling you are apart of the problem
This gif is sooo versatile! Thank you
I can’t believe she took him back but she did stay with vick’s ass forever sooo. she use to it.
This fool La Sean must have that issue with his brain and thought process. He been hit in the head too many times
yep we can… and they are both grimey
Who? I don’t know this cat…
* Mariah voice
yep shes a typical GOLD digger
But she doesn’t even go for the big league. I guess mccoy is a step up from marcus. Cause I am sure marcus money ran dry. People still buying her clothes?
because i have my own opinion? don’t troll because i don’t agree with the majority
NOT Ron MExico. you took it back LMAO
but it’s not nor am i knocking what he has done.
talking and doing is two different things. i’m just saying the other players have to eat as well so shutting down the nfl is hurting more than just the owners
If Colin were actually any good he would already be on a team. Though I applaud the decision to leave him out of the game, NFL doesn’t need more problems. No one really gives a crap what rich football players complain about anyway.
Me too..i realy applaud him but folk need to stop actin like he was blackballed cause of his stance..Thats not the case..hes jus not the solid qb he was before..
Yes, talking and doing are two different things, but they should go together when it comes to solving issues. I hear you about how it will affect the other players. I’m sure they have enough money in the bank to manage because, trust me, I don’t think the shut down would be for long. Unfortunately, injustice causes suffering for everyone.
McCoy is a Tom just like the rest of the “N” that refuse to do anything
That is the truth – than you! Colin is using people and hopefully his campaign will soon fade out.
I don’t like when they use pics of my boo CK with crazy eyes. Crazy eyes and an afro do not bid well for us..lol.. Auntie use a pic with his hair braided down if he’s making crazy eyes PLEASE.
Is the Falcons game tomorrow being televised? Men most be in heat right about now.. football and a fight all in one night shytttttt.
Went to school with one. Definitely a girl.
I might forgive an escort but I’ll NEVAH forgive a tiny dack. No siree.
Attention HAS been brought up on both issues…. whether something has been done about it is another story.
You have people actually supporting Colin and taking a stand and that should be commended. People should take the same action towards the other issues as well. But why downplay a serious issue such as the life of people of color being taken by cops because there are “other issues”? Thats just foolish and like saying Why do so many people support Breat Cancer Awareness and not Prostate… They all need to be addressed point blank
I dont know who would buy that crap
neither one getting love from me lmao…these whores see dollar signs tho
le Sean should STHU, because he had issues even getting into a good college, he shouldn’t be speaking on no other man’s decision to stand up and he is much darker complexion and he aint said a word about how black men are treated in this world, too busy on the plantation catching balls
bruh!
Finally, someone speaking facts on the matter. He’s not a decent player and not worth the distractions…that’s why he has been benched and not worth any investment as a player.Too high maintenance.
Nice try McCoy.
But this is not about merit.
This is about discrimination.
If this was about merit, then the “not so great” players who don’t stand up for black rights would also be out of work.
C
What are you doing? Do you have a fight someone can get behind or are you just talking?
I totally disagree,he’s just not a part of the herd,sad to say only a few of us have our own mind,or as Lenin would say are not useful idiots.
Entertainment should be separated from politics. People go to games and concerts to relax. Just like you don’t talk politics at work; he shouldn’t have brought it on the field.
I’m so over the black community I don’t know what to do. You say our community needs representation….a leader, but when someone stands up you demean them and side with other communities against them. Meanwhile, all you so called critics are doing is NOTHING! Perpetuating bs, living off of reality shows, posting fight videos, and watching your own families wreak havoc on the community. Gtfoh. Don’t say something…do something. No matter how small it may seem. I’m out here fighting our mental health situation which is already beyond repair. Instead of following the white mans critique of this brotha, make damn sure you’re out here doing something before you bump your gums.
??
Say that!
Had it not been for politics we wouldnt be paid to entertain……
Like x100,000,000
Thank you!
I need these field hands caping for their owners to at least have room to talk:
In May 2013, McCoy was sued for his alleged actions towards a woman using the alias “Mary Roe”[118] aboard a party bus on the New Jersey Turnpike. Roe testified that McCoy humiliated her and 15 other women by spraying them with a beverage before ejecting Roe from the vehicle. McCoy’s attorney Andrew Smith Esq. responded, “There are no criminal charges pending and no probable cause was ever found,” stating that the accuser was simply attempting to collect money from McCoy. Roe sued for over $50,000 in damages for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and negligence.[119]
In September 2014, McCoy received criticism for leaving a $0.20 tip at the PYT burger restaurant in Philadelphia. McCoy claimed the low tip was due to “bad service.”[120] The owner responded on September 9, 2014, saying that McCoy had been “verbally abusive” and made “derogatory comments about women”
SMH men are just as MESSY as women sad
You’re thinking too hard. Just relax and enjoy life.
CK is a better QB than Jay Cutler’s ass, and he recently signed with the Miami Dolphins.
They aren’t saying shit bc half of them don’t know a damn thing about football to speak on his skills. They are monkey seeing and monkey doing their dumbass comments. Just gotta shuck and jive for these white folk.
Said a player for the Buffalo Bills ?????
PLEASE! Please let it be him tomorrow….he needs a big slice of humble pie?
Heartbreaking.
Thank you!
Racism always pulls the “mediocrity card”. Colin is blacklisted because of discrimination not mediocrity.
If Colin were the greatest NFL player who ever lived then they’d pull the “uppity and arrogant card” and blame their discrimination on his being too great.
Racism always creates a place between a rock and a hard place.
Mediocre white people are not blacklisted for mediocrity.
He is a decent player and civil rights advocacy is not a distraction.
LOL
Thee Honest Truth!
True…but still agree with ^
Im confused as to why you’re even commenting. Nothing in my statement implies I am not enjoying my life. Regardless, Im not relaxing to the point that Im complicit in racism…..
Exactly
LaSean McCoy. #1, huh? #2, STFU whoever u r
Excellent post!
“Im not relaxing to the point that Im complicit in racism…..”
Amen!
The KKK gets freedom of speech but not Kapernick?
I’m just lost on what to do with us…
What he said makes sense and is kind of what I’ve been thinking. If this were a ‘regular job’ and you had a horrible review and brought what is considered the wrong type of distractions to a team, you wouldn’t have a job and the next department would be skeptical about hiring you. Kaepernick picked a battle supposedly (I’m not saying he did or didn’t) and combined with his last season or two of playing did not make for an appealing package. I don’t think he should be black-balled, but then again when you look at the WHOLE SITUATION from an unbiased standpoint… Is he?
I LOVE YOUR LAST LINE!
YEEESSSS MAAAMMM https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/520deb0edf82fd2f10f4236d48983582a2ccdd879e3fec8d0d3203fe946fd0b9.gif
He must be joining ESPN too. Damn.
