Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback now best known for his kneeling protests against police brutality, has been unemployed since the NFL’s off-season.
TMZ asked Master P about Kaep’s situation, and the Hip Hop veteran’s solution was straightforward, if not simple: “Well I think the only way that’s gonna happen is if you start owning things. Ownership. Without real ownership you have no control, no matter how much money you make, what you bring to the league.”
He added, “You never gon’ win if you don’t own nothing.”
Most recently, Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL, alleging that team owners colluded to punish him for his political actions by boycotting him. It’s against the rules for NFL teams to work together over player’s contracts. Many suspect that it is Kaep’s decision to kneel during the national anthem that has kept him out of a job, rather than performance reasons.
Master P, who is president and a team owner of the Global Mixed Gender Basketball League, sees the conflict as an opportunity.
He invited Kaepernick to come play in his league if he wants to keep fit, and even said that he’d help Kaep start his own league to rival the NFL: “Maybe Kaepernick, if he wanna come and stay in shape and play in our league, I’ll help him start his own league. Maybe that’s what I might do next, start the football next. I think he should, he’s a great football player. I think the NFL should have some type of competition.”

Call it the “I hate America and I love Mexican drug cartels” league.
as opposed to… ‘The little cock sucking european spin-offs who ‘think’ we’re American’ league
Just let football die already, its boring, problematic to its core and most people that say they watch football are only there to drink beer and act ignorant.
Hahahaha good luck.
Preach. Gave up watching football and its the best thing I ever did. Never realized how much time you waste on this dumb game.
I was waiting for somebody to partner with #Kaepernick. I don’t see contact football as a viable option just because of the nature of head injuries. At least for now I don’t see it.
Someone like ISIS or Al Queda?
Yep sounds genius make a leauge that favors only 13% of the population and alienates 65% of the population thatll be a HUGE success….
THE WHITE MAN IS THE DEVIL
For sure. That’s why he makes up for 70% of te inmates in our prison system. Wait… that might be wrong… LOL
I have a great name for it. The Dindunuffin league. Only white people will be penalized, black players will be given 120 seconds to come up with an excuse for face-masking or late tackles etc. There is a catch, you can only use “my ancestors where slaves” once per player, per game. Genius.
Reply to Didndu Football League White people will eventually steal it.
Ironically…back in the day Donald Trump felt the same way and was capable of doing so yet still failed. I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume that P and Kaep combined don’t have the finances or pull to make it happen. So is this just simply a childish statement with zero substance? Once again, becuz we say it it’s true…reality is fake and fantasy is real. Puffy made this outlandish claim as well, except his was a little more idiotic. He was gonna buy the NFL as if the NFL has 1 owner…it’s not a record label or shitty clothing line. He would have to buy out 31 billionaires and a city. Can the delusion go any further?
Master PeePee soundin’ IGNORANT with idiotic comments like that! His ‘mixed gender’ BS isn’t goin’ ANYWHERE and he boasts to ‘start a NFL level football league’ – N*cca please! He couldn’t comeback in music game after tryin’ 19 failing times…. his one run in the 90’s was BS, cause DEATHROW was put under wraps in the C.Delores Tucker Time Warner BS. Not ONE MasterPeePee song gettin’ airplay or standin’ time as a ‘classic’…….. why do people even keep puttin’ mics in this fools face. The bum out front the liquor store with no teeth makes MORE SENSE!
