Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy recently discussed his unpopular opinion about Colin Kaepernick’s unemployment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although many football players and analyst have condemned the NFL for its treatment of the quarterback, others have chalked the entire situation up to his field performance, or lack thereof.
According to NBC Sports, McCoy sides with the latter.
“That may have something to do with but I think it also has a lot to do with his play,” McCoy said. “I’m sure a lot of teams wouldn’t want him as their starting quarterback. Then it’s the chaos that comes with it. It’s a lot. A team’s trying to win and not have a distraction on a team. As a player, there’s certain players that can be on a team with big distractions, and other players, they’re not good enough that it’s worth it. I think his situation is, not good enough to have on a team with all the attention that comes along with it. I’m sure if a guy like [Tom] Brady or a guy like — whoever is your favorite player, Odell Beckham or a guy like that — you’ll deal with that attention and play him. With certain guys, it’s not worth it.”
In fact, McCoy believes that the people who believe otherwise don’t know much about the politics of the sport.
“I think the whole Kaepernick situation, in this country you can believe what you want, freedom of speech,” McCoy said. “I think maybe they could choose a better platform to state their beliefs. One thing I’ve learned about is that people in America, they’re followers. There’s some people that if you ask about these topics, they’ll say what they heard, not what they know.”
