Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie's powerful statement on the fight for justice
- Thread starter ClickyCal'

Sorry, he's an NFL owner and therefore presumed to be a lying sack of shit. How strongly did he speak out about how Kaep was, and still is, being treated?

He has notably taken a strong anti-Trump stance.

Jeffrey Lurie signed Michael Vick after he got (unabashedly unfairly) wrung out by media/talking heads. He most likely genuinely means this.
The thoughts he shared on Colin Kaepernick in 2018 were good too. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/video/would-eagles-sign-colin-kaepernick

That post you're responding to wasn't about Trump. There were many opportunities/competitive reasons to bring in Kap for a tryout since 2017 for the Eagles... many opportunities for other NFL teams.
If your team has a good starter that is healthy, and a good back up (which is rare), I understand it....that has not been the case for almost all the NFL teams since 2017.

Well for the Eagles specifically, they had Foles in 17/18, otherwise there is a good chance he might have been brought in. There clearly was a stance against him by most owners though.
I know that.
The moment Wentz got hurt, Kap should have been brought in for a try out. Lucky for the Eagles, Foles came through... but Kap should have still been brought in just in case Foles got injured as well. I'm always a person of "just in case", ESPECIALLY if you have a playoff squad.. if a good option is there to help that "just in case" scenario, you take it. The Texans during those years were the worse example. They gave up their playoff run, just to not have Kap on the team.

He also worked with Malcom Jenkins and Chris Long on reforms in court, so he definitely isn't just fluffing this.
Yeah, you can be upset with a lot of NFL owners but Lurie is about as progressive as you are going to find. He is not perfect but he is an ally
