Terrell Owens thinks he and Colin Kaepernick have something in common when it comes to their NFL careers.
Owens said that he, like Kaepernick, is being blackballed from the NFL because of off-field “politics.”
“What’s stopping Colin Kaepernick from being in the league?” Owens asked, via TMZ. “You trying to tell me he can’t play in the league right now?”
Owens feels that he’s being kept off the field due to similar off-field aspects, and sounds like he realizes that he’s not going to play professionally again.
“I appreciate the years that I played,” Owens said. “Now, life goes on.”
It’s fair to say that any concerns about Owens are of a slightly different variety than those about Kaepernick. Fairly or not, though, it probably comes down to the fact that Owens is 43 now, and he last played in 2010. He’s been angling for a comeback ever since, but if it was going to happen, it would have by now.
