Wow Manziel comes out big for Kap

“This will probably cause an uproar, but I’m tired of the @Kaepernick7 vs myself comparisons and anger,” he began. “Kap [sic] is doing amazing things right now changing lives and donating millions of dollars. His impact off the field from a societal standpoint is legendary and straight admirable. Standing up for people who often don’t get heard and for a race that continually deals with problem after problem in this country for CENTURIES. This world we live in is absolutely crazy and I believe what he’s doing has an amazing impact.”

Manziel trying to get back in the league after some serious personal missteps while I guess opinion varies but Kap is being black balled
that is my opinion

His endorsement helps no one.


But on edit, he did say nice things and more or less noted Kap is a decent human, which Manziel cannot claim to be.

but there are a lot of people who follow him, especially in the south, so him coming out strong for Kap might cause a few of those flag wavers to ease up a bit

A spoiled brat who couldn't even keep his partying on the back burner for one weekend.

In the NFL, he's a joke.

and grateful for the changes that occurred because of his new life. Maybe he found some decency while he was putting his life together? I'm not betting the farm, just hoping that he curved his path of self-destruction.

It's entirely possible that he's just hired a good PR person and is still a Grade A jackass, but it really seems genuine. If so, good for him.
