This will probably cause an uproar, but Im 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 dont 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 hes 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

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

In the NFL, he's a joke.
