That award needs to go to Joe Thomas because it takes a real man to want to be apart of the browns who wasted his career

Wtf? He wasn’t in the nfl this season.

Tebow was actually ridiculed for the religious gesture. Mocked made fun of People made fun of him and disrespected his kneeling regardless of race

So kneeling and disrespecting the military deserves man of the year lol great logic

Before i watch the video i bet will kkkain says "hell no"

The problem with Jalen’s whole comparison to Daniel and Fales is that those guys were backups not starters. They were being paid backup QB money. Kaepernick was never going to go back to the NFL for backup money. He wanted to be a starter and be paid like it but he wasn’t good enough to be one and nobody was going to pay him that kind of money to just sit on the bench

Malcolm Jenkins never even took a knee and he's still in the NFL so he was able to work on that deal. The owners refused to have Kapernick be a part of the meeting. A lot of the players weren't involved in that meeting like Eric Reed and Michael Bennett, which said Jenkins didn't have permission to speak on behalf of the players and asked him to stop communicating with the owners without them being involved. Kapernick was black balled so you can't hold him accountable for starting the conversation but dealing with owners who were unwilling to invite him in on the conversation.

Jalen won this one

Will Cain used to work at FOX News. Not surprised by his logic.

Michael Bennett? Same guy who lied/whined to the media about police mistreatment? That guy?

That Tim Tebow comparison by Jalen was absolutely perfect,

Colin Kaepernick deserves that Man of the Year award. Its in the NFL's best interest as well!

Let this man go

off course not, hes not in the NFL. makes no sense

Damn Jalen Rose killed Cain at the end with truth

It's continuous conversations and debates is partly why he was never picked up!

My man Jalen Rose

Damn espn is uploading the whole show

Jalen made Will think...Will said he wanted to hear and see it the right way. He can hear and see it if he wants too: go look for it...half the battle was in front of him!

Tebow vs Kaep comparison is not accurate.

The head honchos at ESPN clearly have a thing for this Will Cain guy. They're giving him as much airtime as possible to build a fan base so that they can justify giving him his own show later on.

Before I watch, let me guess what side Will Cain is on.

Will looking at Jalen like, look at him reading a script. Im ready

What is even this debate? Kap wasn’t even in the NFL 😂😂 how could he be a candidate for the award.

Kaepernick turned down NFL contract and then he found a way to make money through the "social justice", doesn't make him anything but an opportunist in a capitalist society, I can respect that. I think it is fair to say if he didn't protest he would be in the NFL, but he did it to himself by making the distraction he brings far outweighs his impact on the field. We seen players get pushed out of the league for things like domestic violence while their playing ability is still very good, now this might be an extreme example to compare but from a capitalist point of view it is the same thing, the return you get will never match the distraction they cause to your bottom line.

Holy shit Tebow bowing during a prayer or after a TD is much different than a player kneeling during a national traditional for a very arguable political stance. I don't like either, but don't conflate them.

Jalen is so wrong. Tebow didn’t kneel to PROTEST the national anthem. It’s 2 different arguments. Kap shouldn’t win this award. Tebow wasn’t protesting anything. Kap is, and is doing it in the wrong way. His cause is fine. How he’s protesting is not Will Cain Is right on this one

Yeah, Will's assessment of Colin, the anthem, police brutality, slave catchers... did not age well. I think Will's voice is so agitating it basically encourages fighting.

Tebow signing brought me here ..🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean no need to debate after Jalen's 1st few words, kinda tells everything you need to know. NFL should go out their own way tho, and at least give em a nod, to acknowledge Kap's efforts and moving the conversation progressive directions.

Kap should win solely based on who else is up for the award. Malcolm Jenkins (who owns a Papa John's) will probably win it tho. Just note He wasn;t raising His first or raising awareness until Kap did it. I think JJ Watt should get it out of eligible players for His Hurricane assistance which seemed to be more than our government cared.

Will Cain is so brave I love it

Will Cain is like an American Milo Yiannopolous 😂

Colin kaepernick: isnt on a roster this year and disrespected the national anthem JJ watt: raised $37 million for houston after hurricane harvey. Im officially done watching or listening to anything ESPN Also how can you compare tebow and kaepernick? Tebow would kneel in prayer after he scored a touchdown its completely different

Will for the easy win

If I hear one more person say he sacrificed his career I swear bro..... His career as a starter was over before he started kneeling!!! He did this to garner attention.... why did he say he wouldn’t kneel for the anthem if another team would pick him up after he was released from the San Fran

Jalen Wins Because He's Fucking Molly Period 😊😊😊

Will Cain definitely blowing his dog whistle for his base.....smh.

Well done! Well said Mr. Rose ✊

All he did was take s knee. He hasn't done anything else. Cain is right

KKKAIN

Not even a lunge.

I mean JJ watt only raised millions of dollars for our city during the worst flood in us histpry...

Rose owned Cain. SIMPLE

nice mc hammer reference.....jalen that dude.....

A trailblazer! Really wow

Wait a white man disagreeing about a black person standing up for equality, shocker

Better question: Do you say you stand or kneel with Colin?

Nicely done Jalen - really good point...

Will Cain has stood up for the Confederate flag too lol

Dam Molly face change over the past few years

I agree with Will Cain. Believe it or not. Cain is right

His career was not sacrificed as over 100 players have protested the flag and anthem as well. He is a genius though, he's found a way to make people believe he's been black-balled completely hiding the fact that he absolutely stinks as an NFL QB.

You have to be in the NFL to win the NFL man of the year. Get him another man of the year from another source.

Black man debates Will KKKain.

Alt Right Will Cain

Colin has my vote!

Jalen didn’t get Will’s point at all About the oversimplification, and proceeded to over simplify it by bringing up Tebow’s kneeling and getting emotional about the issue

This aged well.

This subject matter is the most patty on both sides.

Jalen was spot on

Kaepernick is not good enough

The gap between the two’s intellectual capability is absolutely stunning. What is Jalen talking about?

2:15 Will almost says the truth that Colin was blackballed, but remembered his name is Will KKKain and somehow made it Kaepernick's fault

WOKEDY WOKE...ESPN....lol

jalen rose needs to decide where to look

Totally tuned Rose out when he called Krapernick a gentleman.

Colin shouldn’t win man he jus now tryna be pro black and they want him to win hell nah fukk that he don’t deserve nun boi tryna switch up like he been pro black all his life

Malcom Jenkins didnt to shit in comparison, only until, and ONLY after it was done before him. Not even the same, its like when everyone else started playing pokemon go after everyone who was a fan had been doing it, just to be a part of it. Not to take anything away from all the good he has done, i presume. Also i never did pokemon Go

Damn i agreed with will cain.. wtf

Aww.... yall still hurt about Kaep? Lol

I know Cam Won MVP but I used to say a lot and I would still Take Colin Kaepernick over Cam Newton on a Football 🏈 Field.

"Sacrificed his career" LMAO sick of hearin that. Jalen looks like a 🤡 he was headed to the BENCH!. he pulled a nice legacy move&saved his reputation.. ppl dont even remember his like 3TD/10INT last year😭

Jalen and Jacoby need their show bumped up to prime time instead of anything with Stephen A.

Very often I find myself sharing similar points of view with Jalan Rose. I don't in this case. And I think it's a stretch comparing Tebow's kneeling as a celebration to Kaps protest, but I respect his opinion and point of view.

Kaepernick shouldn't win anything! Ever!

This aging like fine wine. White establishment subconscious racism vs non white racism is great to see. Who is on white racist side and who is on the other? Pat, I’d like to solve the puzzle please.

Deserve and eligible are two different things. Besides you get what you negotiate not what you deserve. Kaepernick is way over his head to go from being blackballed from the NFL to wanting in on owning the Carolina Panthers to now expecting the a Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Are you kidding me?

Too bad will Cain left. He is guilty of what he accuses ESPN of, being able to allow differences of political views

Will Cain basically said Kaep was blackballed and deserves to be in the NFL and yall call him racist cause he doesn’t think Kap should be Man of the Year😭😭😭 JJ Watt deserves it and nobody else. That dude helped raise millions of dollars and was on the ground helping with hurricane relief

Kapp's cause was disingenuous to begin with. He was benched then sat down during the national anthem.

Good job Jalen.

Lot of liberals in this comment section

Molly lookin like.. what you writing down baby, you thinkin what im thinkin ?

No exemptions

37 million fucking dollars, let's not try to downplay this.

Ryan Hollins vibes (points left)

Dusty Rhodes was a social justice warrior

As long as prison is a business they will find ppl ro fill them... Unfortunately for us its black ppl they fill their prisons with.

If you think anyone other than JJ Watt deserves the award this year is insane. The dude raised over 37 million dollars for hurricane relief...come on.

Of course now, they will dehumanize Kaep. 10 years from now he will be in the history books. They hated Ali while he was boxing too. They hated Dr King while he was marching. But they will hop on the bandwagon years later and act like they were supporting him all along.

I respect the hell outta Jalen Rose but people like Will Cain will always fine the negative and will never realise people like him are the problem. I personally can't stand that guy. Or whatever comes outta his mouth.

They put me in the mix lol #Mallet

Jalen won that one

He opted out of his contract

All kaepernick does is complain about issues instead of solving them

Five simple things that EVERYONE can do to avoid jail and negative encounters with the police. And they're really this simple: 1) Don't do drugs. ANY of it. And until Weed is legalized at the Federal level, then it's probably a bad idea to carry around pipes and baggies of weed on you. Especially if you're the type of douchebag that draws attention to yourself because you have to feel important. More on that below.... 2) Don't associate with questionable people. And yes, that might mean you may have to make hard choices about who you hang out with. Man up and kick them out of your life. 3) Don't give an attitude to the police. Playing lawyer with a cop on the side of a highway while he's trying to write you a ticket....isn't going to make that ticket go away. 4) Stay out of problem areas, or bad areas of town, unless you absolutely HAVE to go there. And if you live there, then stay in doors and lay low. Go straight to work, school, and/or home, and nowhere else. Work hard and earn the money to move out and start a better life elsewhere. Going to jail or the morgue because you decided to be a dumbass with the law or the police is going to hinder those plans, isn't it? 5) Don't fight with the police. Stiffening up instead of putting your hands behind your goddamn back when they try to handcuff you IS RESISTING ARREST. Period. Unless you are doing EXACTLY what you are told and cooperating 100%, you are RESISTING A LAWFUL ARREST. And if you don't think it's lawful, then argue your case in court like a decent citizen, instead of fighting with the police. Reality is not a TV show....you don't get to negotiate with the police and beg or plead with them about anything. That's not how reality works. Save it for COURT. An honorable mention: don't draw attention to yourself in any way, shape or form. And contrary to popular belief, cops don't just stop black people because they're black. That's a myth perpetrated by the Liberal media. We're not living in the 1960s anymore. Drive with your seat-belt on and obey all traffic laws/signals, pull your fucking pants up when you are walking around town, turn your cap around on straight, and don't loiter around outside of businesses after dark. Sagging pants make you look like a dumbass with that cap, and loitering for no apparent reason is suspicious, and thus: attention worthy. There. Simple things that ANYONE can do, regardless of skin color. And it didn't even take a protest. All it took was a little bit of common sense. Your skin color is no excuse for ignorance of reality and how the law works.

Bland of the Deer.

I believe ESPN and fox sports are paid to say lebron is the best player.

Espn is a joke... this is a debate, how and why?
