Ray Lewis on How a Tweet Kept Colin Kaepernick from Being Signed by Baltimore | Inside the NFL 

The right woman can make you and the wrong one can break you! Welcome to today's western woman

Difference is Watt actually did something. Kaepernick hasn't done anything. HE DID'NT EVEN VOTE!

preach Ray!

ray needs to go too

Difference is jj watt did not use the nfl games to push a narrative. Kap did. I would have no problem if Kap kept it off the field. If jj watt kneeled for hurricane victims I’d be equally as offended

Cap didn’t start to kneel until he was benched

Denver Broncos offered Kaepernick a contract which was turned down

When Kaep and his people speak, teams are less likely to sign him.

Kap wore a Castro shirt when he tried out in Miami. He doesn't want a job lol.

Colin Kaepernick doesn't want to play football.

1st amendment rights does not apply when you work for others. How hard is that to understand? It's a business and it's all about money! Not protesting. Jesus!

Lets all worry about Kaepernick with his Nike contract and settlement and to hell with people who really need help. This concern for Kaepernick makes me sick!

I completely believe Ray. It's like Jim Brown said, he needs to choose what he wants to do. The NFL is a private employer, if he wants to be a black activist and speak out against things that's fine, he just won't have a job in the National Football League.

I'm a Niner fan, Colin definitely has talents, but as a complete Quarterback, nope sorry, I don't believe his skills outweigh his baggage and doesn't bring fans that's why he's not playing. Maybe if he learns to throw a 10yd. floater pass, he might get a few calls.

Nessa is the root of all the problems. She caused a lot of problems in the 49ers lockeroom and has been a negative influence on him

Colin kaperjerk kept Colin kaperjerk from being signed.

Idiotic to compare JJ Watts effort to provide hurricane relief to Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. The major difference. Kaepernick did his version of free speech while in the workplace. Free speech does not mean free of consequences

Ray makes everything about RAY

No one at all is saying that what JJ is doing is disrespectful to anyone at all. There's a huge difference in that respect. No one would argue that people in Texas needed help, that's not even debatable. On the other hand, you have Kaepernick, who knelt during the national anthem, which half, at least half the country finds offensive. Secondly he did it for what reason? WHAT is the purpose of the "protest" No one knows. Is it "racism"? Is it "oppression"? Is it "police brutality"? is it "police racism"? See the problem is these are not reasons to protest, not a single one of them. The reason is because they are so broad, so generalized, so absolutely unverifiable that there's no solution to them. If I were to say "The college in my town is racist" Well, there's two, so which one is it? how is it racist? who has done the racist things, and what were they? Then if I say I'm going to protest that, okay.. well that's the point of the protest? What's the goal? To end racism? That's just plain never going to happen. This is the real problem here. If there is someone who is racist, and that person just so happens to be wearing a police officers uniform, that DOES NOT mean that ALL police are racist, and it doesn't mean that there's a problem with police being racists. Just like if there's one over weight cop, it doesn't mean there's a systemic problem with obese police officers. You're not going to completely eradicate racism, that's just a fact, there are racists everywhere, black, white, asian, latino, there are racists in every race, nationality, ethnicity, etc.. To pretend that kneeling for the anthem of the country in which you reside is the answer is just ignorant. Then you add to the problem here that this particular individual have NO IDEA what he was even talking about. When he would be asked in interviews about particulars, he was incoherent, and absolutely unintelligent. So he's protesting something, but he doesn't really know what, can't really name the problem, or the statistics that show it's a problem, and has no clear solution to solve it. So he's literally kneeling, and that's supposed to end racism. It's idiotic. Why doesn't he hold his breath to cure cancer? The world doesn't work that way.

I’m done with Jay-Z and Kaepernick

He had a mic shoved in his face after every game in the locker room and at the press confrenece. He chose to speak during the National Anthem.

From a 9ers fan... Kap not being able to step up in the pocket and complete pass is what is really keeping him from being signed....

When she used the term "unsavory characters", did I catch Phil Simms glance at Ray Lewis??

" Teams take chances with unsavory characters " ' Enormous legal issues ' in the presence of Ray Lewis, there has to be some cruel irony right there. Lol!!

You can absolutely criticize Colin Kaepernick. Because his method of addressing an issue was negative and not positive.

She completely missed the point. Athletes play sports "on the field" and leave their personal agenda "off the field." They're more than welcomed to use their celebrity status, but do it on their personal time.

Colin Kaepernick wore socks, that had pigs, wearing police uniforms on them....if that was all I knew about him, that would be enough.

This women clearly doesn't understand the role of a back up qb. The role of a back up qb is to support the starting qb and to be ready to play if required. No team wants a back up qb who's gonna cause drama and bring a circus to the team, so when it comes to a back up qb the term "talent wins out" doesn't apply!

Judy - it's about owners and the NFL losing money. they lost a fortune due to him. yes he has a right but so do owners, employers

Do people realize that Colin kaepernick is not getting signed because he is just not good anymore?

Talent wins out? He got benched for Blaine Gabbert .. he got benched , then he pulled this garbage

JJ Watt isn't soliciting funds during the National Anthem!

Football fans can forgive stupidity, even criminality, but Kaepernick seems anti-American and this is the "National" Football League, not the anti-National Football League. Perhaps they have a football league somewhere in the middle east. that he'd be better suited for.

Comparing what JJ Watt did to what Kaepernick is doing is asaine, Watt raised money to help disaster victims, Kaep only started to protest once he was benched.

JJ Watt is raising money for a cause not for himself. Kap is raising money for himself

Jj watt is uniting everyone while helping people who lost everything they own. He also didn't piss off all the nfls customers. A little different

KAP was right.. Where Ray at now👀 can't hear you😂😂😂😂✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💯🏁

As a life long Baltimore resident, Ravens fan, and #52 Fan - I'm so happy Colin exposed himself before signing with the Ravens. Ray Lewis & Ed Reed are leaders. Cap is fraud. Entitled brat! Now we are blessed to have Lamar Jackson. Lamar is the MVP and a team player...Cap would of been another black eye on the city.

In what other occupation could you cost your employer tens of millions of dollars and even be considered for a job ? Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Ray Lewis is SOOOOO RIGHT! I love Ray!

You sue your boss and expect your job back?

ray lewis is the protagonist of "ballers" in real life. :X

Nobody thinks NFL players should "stick to sports". Doug Baldwin goes to cops, talks in front of Congress etcetera. Everyone in Washington loves Doug Baldwin. Cap just wants fame and alot of people think he did it the wrong way. Also Cap sued the NFL lol.

Ray isn't being honest. Steve Bisciotti was worried about negative fan reaction if the team signed Kaepernick. The Ravens actually polled their fans to gauge fan reaction before they even considered signing Kaepernick.

His talent isn't worth the trouble. He's not as good as some are making him out to be. If his talent filled a need for a team and it was worth the hassle, he'd be on a team.

A chick is an "NFL insider"?

When keeping it real goes wrong. Oops my bad🤦‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️ - Nessa

She dunno what she taking about. Yes players have legal issues that are worse than Kaepernick did. But those don’t cause the fracturing of fans like what Kaep did. Not about ability. It’s about the audience and him bein bad for business.

Kid? C'mon Ray Lewis! Colin Kaepernick is 32 years old! He's way beyond being a kid! Don't try to make excuses for him!

Its 2 years and still havent heard from Kap - just a settlement? smh

Maybe someone would sign him if he was actually good

Ray Lewis is the MAIN PERSON N ONLY PERSON Kolin had in his corner..... ur A GREAT PLAYER N A GREAT MAN RAY..... time to cut Kolin loss..... hes a crash dummy n should never see a NFL field again..... hes kinda a BUM QB ANYWAY..... THANKS FOR TRYING RAY.... UR A GOOD MAN.... Cant make a horse drink tho, u got him to the water I'll give u mad respect for that

Ray Lewis is a good dude. He turned his life completely around, and trying to pay it forward.

Stop calling these grown men kids!!! Ray Lewis is only trying to toot his own horn. “I” “I” “I”!!! Brown nosing for a dollar. Ray has said not one word about how wrong the owners have been. His motives are clearly self serving in nature. SMDH!!!

he got NO ATTENTION on the issue of police brutality> He gots lots on disrespecting the Anthem. His cause has been overshadow by the consequence which only affected the American people. Anthem, NFL, sports, sponsorship etc

If we are talking about tweets keeping Colin from getting a job as a Raven then why or how did Trump become president??

Wow 😳 I couldn’t control what my boyfriend said. It’s a football game, not a job with the #FBI!

That clown ass Ravens franchise didn't want him in the first place. If they did then they wouldn't have had a town hall meeting over signing him. They don't do all that extra bs with players who committed a crime why do that for Kaepernick?

That's why I love Ray, that man doesn't care who agrees with him

If JJ Watt was using "his platform" during the national anthem or the course of an NFL game, people would have an issue w it. The venue is the big deal. And method is the big deal. Kap used nfl game air time to make a shitload of Americans feel disrespected.

Damn his girlfriend stop him from being singed

OMG. It’s not about kneeling. It’s about the distraction he causes. Yet he can’t get along.

Oh please, with a history of his theatrics he did himself in.

His girlfriend, aka Lady Macbeth, is to blame for all this!

I think they don't understand. Watt was raising money for a relief effort while Kap was making a polarizing action AGAINST the country.

All the African Americans who are shot by police would have gone on to become doctors and lawyers 👌🏼

Ok as a sports fan ill tell you guys exactly why Capp isn't signed yet. 2 yrs with no action on a football feild, he was replaced as a starter in San Fran because he lacked production and was tossing interception after interception, he simply isnt a starter and i truly nelive he isnt a quality back up either. He changed his stance in the kneeling for the flag if someone was to sigh him. So he gave up on his own cause and he is a joke. Tim Tebow is better than him right now, and where is the outlash ober him kneeling for GOD! YOU PEOPLE HAVE YOUR PRIORITIES ALL WRONG! #FORGETCAP

Kap was afraid to check Nessa and speak for himself. So the Baltimore deal crumbled. That's a lack of leadership. That's why is not in the league.

Yea talent wins out,a flash in the pan average talent wont cut it.

Cap was whiteball its no secret

Preach on Ray Lewis

This is the first time I heard this Ray Lewis version. Kaepernick needs to move on. He totally blew his chance based on what I just viewed.

When tweeting go's Wrong!!!!!!

Why are still talking about this non-talented dude. He was exposed and he needed to take the focus off the fact that he was a fluke. Still haven’t done anything or heard of anything he has done outside of football to make a difference. All he has done is drive the wedge further in. 🤦🏻‍♂️SMMFH

Say what you want about Colin Keapernicks girlfried, but Brent Grimes still has the worst one.

I’ve always said if the dude felt that passionate about a cause why hasn’t anyone heard from him. What are his SOLUTIONS? He doesn’t have any because he was in it for the money.

Colin was an instigator , a divider , a bad apple . Owners don't want a player that does that . Our flag and anthem is not a tool to be used for protests . They are sacred .

It is a character and ethics issue. CK complains about police abuse, whereas he abusively applies “racism” to everyone, everybody and any organization that stands against HIS RAW HURTFUL TACTICS. CK’s character is a RISK for any organizations who will hire him - NFL, MEDIA, ETC, and their fan/customer base; get real. CK hurts his own cause. By others, he is seen NOT WORTH THE RISK.

Speak on it Judy👏👏. Ray Ray, but you kneeled to. Wth🤦‍♂️

Does anyone blame Steve for not signing him after having that racist crap be put out about him by his girlfriend?

She has no idea what she's talking about.

"Singed"?

Colin now the Jussie Smollet of the NFL. THEY CRUCIFYING ME

Disrespecting your country is like turning your back on everything you have and know. A country is like a family there's lots of good and bad but you still choose to live in their house and eat their food. Im Scottish and it would anger me if someone did that in Scotland regardless of the severity of their complaint or the validity of their cause.

Ray Louis, the man that said that he would take a knee in honor of Kaepernick’s protest. Gets on the field, hold hands with supporters and fall on both knees in front of the camera. Saying he was giving honor to God. Smh Ray, who are you fooling???

Everyone talks about how kap gave a million and jj watt gave 20,000. The difference is, kap made a calculated investment which yielded millions more from Nike for kap. Watt started a positive investment that yielded 20 million for people who lost everything.

So happy that the nhl is all real athletes and kneeling isn't a issue

March 2018 and Kap is still unemployed......... GOOD !!!!

So there is Ray Lewis sitting and at 2.45 she is talking about enormous legal issues in the NFL. It would be great if they would have asked him at that moment what he was thinking about that and just showed his face.

Ray is a bunch of bull!!! If Kap was taking a knee for animal cruelty everyone would jump behind him

I don't believe they had any intention of signing him

Baltimore and all the other teams didn't sign Kaepernick (and Tim Teebow) because they don't want a distraction on the field or in the locker. If you want to be a social justice warrior do it on your own time, not the Team's time. No NFL team wants to deal craziness that takes away from the team.

Bologna, another excuse like Hillary & why she lost in 2016. Give us a break , then please wake up

As someone born and in baltimore county ive never lived more then 5 minutes from the city alot of the fans wouldn't have accepted kapernick people tend to forget the national anthem was written in baltimore Harbour as fort McHenry was being attacked and that is something alot of baltimoians have alot of pride in

CFL READY...

The difference is jj watt is helping people. Kapperknick is talk talk talk and no walk.

All this for a backup qb...smh

He didn't get my attention, but he did help the NFL to lose my attention altogether, and Colin has been out of the game a while. So good job Colin. Colin made things worse not better, and I do think that's what he wanted. Talent, he's doesn't have enough to play in the NFL, plain and simple. Well, I've lost all respect for Ray Lewis now.

Difference jj watt did what he did out of love and complete selflessness while not slandering the nation, it's people, or its flag. If you want to make difference you dont insult and disrespect over half the people you want your message to reach.

Ray u the best man
