He describes him as he is one of the most important and best players in the NFL. He also says that Kaepernick is more than just the face off Nike, which also shows that Khaled think Kaepernick is a very important person, and that is why he is described with so many positive words.

The writer also uses a lot of negative words about the NFL, because he is in agreement with Kaepernick and thinks that it was a bad idea too kick Kaepernick out of the league.

He is also talking about the other guys that were hired to take Kaepernick’s place in the line-up, but also the statistics that showed how much better Kaepernick is, and that is why he uses negative words to describe the NFL because he is not happy with their decisions.
