PFT, yet again you are sensationalizing a story with a negative spin without giving the full story or picture.

To the idiots railing on Colin, assuming this is all about him… Get the facts.

I challenge learn about kidsheartcamp and learn exactly what #kaepernicking is all about. You will feel foolish.

It is not about “look at me”. Do you know Colin? Clearly not. Stop judging. It is about helping the under-served population of pediatric cardiology, and each time he “kaepernicks” a child’s life is helped. I hope there is plenty going on during the bowl. What are doing to help a life leading up to and during superbowl? You know Colin sure is…

My argument is that the term “Kaepernicking” is weak and lacks marketability. The man is kissing his biceps, hence the “Kaepernickiss.” Colin, anybody…use it. It’s gold!

To the idiot that said the kid is dumb as rocks….. i suggest you edit your stupid comment

“He had a 4.0 GPA at the University of Nevada, Reno.and he scored a 37 on the Wonderlic test at the NFL combine. The average at quarterback is a 24. Recent studies indicate that the mean score for all players, excluding offensive linemen, is 21.04 with a standard deviation of 7.15. That puts Kaepernick more than two standard deviations above the mean. In other words, he is a very smart football player.”

It’s not about greed or showboating, it’s about retaining control over something that is “yours”, so that other companies can’t start making money off it without your approval or using it in a manner you may disagree with. In fact he applied that control by allowing a company to print shirts but only by having money donated to charity he supports.

Gentlemen, please – for some of you, a little comprehension is in order.

He is NOT trying to trademark the move – that indeed would be silly.

He is applying for a trademark for the TERM “Kaepernicking.” He intends to use it commercially, and in some cases for charity – trademarking it is a good idea.

Smart business move, but I really can’t wait for this kid to take a legit pop from the defense that makes him suck some of that wind bag he has going. Hoping the Ravens are that team. Anyone else agree?

@989lions

Acting like you’ve been there before is a worn out cliche? You must be kidding! Class never wears out!

What wears out is showboating and preening before the cameras. Kissing your biceps! Shoving popcorn in your face! mooning the crowd, those are worn out cliches.

Tell Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, or Jim Brown, or Jerome Bettis, or Jerry Rice, or any of the true superstars of this game that their class is worn out.

Wow! All you whiners would probably do the same thing if you were in his position.
Right…trademarking “kaepernicking” is such a huge crime. Maybe quit being offended by this harmless move and get on with your miserable, miserable lives.

Kaepernicking? Come on Colin! This celebration should have everyone callin’ Kaepernickiss™!

It may be shameless self promotion but the kid backs it up on the field. He’ll be playing in the Super Bowl a week from Sunday.

This smells like a move by his agent, not Kaepernick. Just by watching the Falcons Niners game and all the times Kaep handed the ball off instead of keeping it shines a pretty big light on the fact that he is team first and not “Kaepernicking” first.

Besides, are you telling me that if you could cash in on something like this, you wouldn’t?

You idiots who are bashing him have no clue! His adoptive parents lost 2 children to heart complications. He’s been donating to Camp Taylor for almost a year now.

I’m gonna trademark Kraepernicking if they don’t win next Sunday!!

Ok guys…this crap is getting old quick. You strike a pose and celebrate for doing exactly what you are paid to do, then you want to trademark it so you get more money for doing what you are originally paid to do? Absurd! Grow up!

Between this garbage and Ray Lewis being a complete sack of bathroom trash… I wish this Super Bowl could end in a tie.

I like Kaepernick, but if this is what he’s turning into , the “like” won’t last too long before it turns into dislike. This is typical of the “me” generation, look at most, not all, but most kids today, and it’s all about them, sad but true.

Didn’t Hulk Hogan do that 20 years ago?

People who are you to judge . Let him do what ever he feels f##k am proud he is our starting qb for the niners . So you all got nothing to say good about him shut that ffff up.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s kind of hard to look like a boss when you’re the starting qb and you’re rocking an armband with all your offensive plays on it.

This is why I love and respect guys like Barry Sanders and Walter Payton. They were the best, and they acted like the best. You never saw either of those guys ever celebrate a touchdown.

How do you trademark or copyright kissing your bicep like people haven’t been doing that in the mirror since 4yrs old

This just go’s to show the mentality of todays young players. All about themselves and not about the game. The NFL is catching up to the NBA in being just being plane dull.

By: ravenator

ravenator — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:23:39 +0000

Good. While he is worried about his trademark Ray Lewis will be figuring out this offense. Ravens are going to win the Superbowl

Backup or worse. You may want to do some research. Every qb Harbaugh has touched has only gotten better

the whole “scoring and act like you’ve been there” is the most played out cliche in all of sports!! at the end of the day IT’S A GAME!!! Mr. Daniel Tosh said it best “I don’t care if you have a tea party in the endzone but don’t be mad when a free safety takes your head off when your coming across the middle and celebrates”
