Using that logic, did George Floyd voluntarily choose to get involved with a police encounter?

Kapernick is unemployed as a professional football player.
Above all else, people in the NFL want to win.
If a team really thought Kaepernick gave them a better chance to win over what they already have, he'd have a job today.

Above all else, coaches and players in the NFL want to win.
Owners want to make money. If winning serves that purpose, all the better. Kapernick is perceived as bad for the bottom dollar. Period. Maybe he’s also past his prime as a football player but it begins and ends with him being too divisive for anyone to even want him associated with a team as a backup or scout team QB. For the record, I think he’s past his prime as a starter in the NFL and if that’s the only thing he will consider being At this point then that’s on him.

I miss College sports. But, I won't let 18-22 year old kids and their "feelings" dictate to me what my school needs to do to appease them. I'll take my time and money and spend it elsewhere.

Except you are discounting the actual dollars that follow NCAA sports. In any given year, 20-30 P5 programs and a tiny handful of G5 programs turn an actual profit. That includes CFB and MBB.
The players aren’t shyte without a fanbase. And those “season ticket holders in waiting”- have you paid any attention to the reports of fan attendance in sharp decline over the last decade?

That is correct. Without fans, there are no tickets sold. Without fans, there will be no advertising dollars.
That leads to no tv contracts.
The second players kneel in the NFL, they will lose a large portion of their viewership because of the FORCING players to bend the knee.

Oh I’m well aware of how college sports finances work. I’m also aware that gate receipts pale in comparison to TV dollars for schools like Oklahoma St, Texas, A&M, Clemson, etc and that many available season tickets are being bought up not by the average fan but for corporate expenses to host clients. Still, the vast majority of stadiums aren’t going to suddenly find themselves empty because 90k people collectively disagree with a social movement. Season ticket holders have come and gone for decades and the beat marches on because there’s a continuously replenishing alumni base to sell to and a product worth selling.

What a jerk you are!
Floyd never asked to be asphyxiated for 8 mins 46 secs until he was dead, remember all arrested people are innocent until proven guilty by due process in court, no way did he resist with hands cuffed behind him to deserve what he got, OTOH those skanks in Hollyweird volunteered to do the casting couch thing in an effort to CHEAT MORE QUALIFIED ARTISTS OUT OF LANDING A JOB THEY DESERVED, and then when they didn't get the role anyway, they came out 10, 15, 20 and in some cases 30 years after the fact to exact "revenge", those skanks in Hollyweird didn't go to a Movie Studio or Office at 9am for an interview, instead they went to a Hotel Room at Midnight or to a Director's Home at midnight, they were basically trying to CHEAT more deserving actresses out of Jobs that they had earned and instead of getting a Job they gave "a job" (get it?), nothing in that perverted Hollyweird scenario comes close to the Floyd situation
Seriously, try to justify your poor logic, maybe you were joking and I overreacted, I mean you can't be that dense to believe what you wrote above

I do think it's disgusting that any cop kills anyone who is no longer a threat to them, ie handcuffed and in the car or turning and running away no matter what race is involved. Those cops will get what they deserve. Nobody deserves to be afraid they might get killed during a DUI stop or for passing a counterfeit bill. That's stupid, and changes should be made to stop it. What those changes are I don't know, making a harsh example of the ones who did it is a good start. Maybe more in depth psychological testing for perspective cops to weed out idiots predisposed to do that? Better training on what is considered a threat?
I’m no expert in this area but I think refinancing and decommodifying police departments would be An ultimate goal. In other words, pay cops more to attract better candidates and decrease spending in militarization of police units (if you need an actual military response, that’s what our national guard is for). Further, spread money into specialized EMTs who can respond to situations where someone is having a schizophrenic outburst or who has fallen asleep in their car at a drive thru (kind of screams alcoholism, doesn’t it?) and stop sending cops to those situations that they shouldn’t be responsible for; let them focus on actual crime and police work.
We need a police force. But we don’t need police to be the catch all for every seemingly uncomfortable situation in a society. They do a difficult job so pay them accordingly and, as a result, hold bad police accountable when they’re not earning their keep.

It's why you have statues of even Abe Lincoln being taken down.
You mean the one statue that has a slave on his knees before him?
I'm not aware of any other statue of his being asked to be removed, and this one would probably not be asked to be removed if the man was, say, depicted beside him shaking his hand or such.

Athletes have every right to use their platform as long as they’re willing to accept the risks of doing so without crying racism if paychecks and scholarships disappear.
But not coaches, right?
Because the same people decrying athletes for using their platform and saying they should suffer consequences for sharing their voice are the same ones saying Mike Gundy, already a millionaire, shouldn't be taken to task over his politics.

Wearing a t-shirt for a conservative news network is not the same as making public comments about removing statues or kneeling during the national anthem.

Unfortunately the world is full of dumbasses like this GT POS and others on here, that is why we are where we are today. The players do not realize, there is no College Football without the fans, there is no education for most without CF, and finally there is the reality of good grades and finding a job without the education. The NFL doesn’t survive at the level it is now without CF. They can not support a minor league system to produce enough athletes to field 30 plus NFL teams. Everyone wants to compare it to Baseball and their system, but in BB 98% of the minor league players are there to develop 2% of the stars that will make it to the majors. The NFL couldn't financially do the same. So the Athletes are about to screw themselves in the name of racial justice, by destroying a system that produces racial equality for those who would never see it in their lifetime. Smart.

How is it going to be destroyed? Most people are not melting snow flakes like you are being.
