An employee speaks out his mind. It causes controversy that his employer doesn't want or need. Other employers choose not to hire him as they don't need the controversy, either.

Isn't that what we were talking about?

Except that Kaepernick was already employed and chose to make his "statements" in uniform during employer events. Berkman hasn't even been offered a job, to our knowledge.

I suspect if Kaepernick was still at the top of his game and leading the 49ers to deep playoff runs, his employer wouldn't have cared so much about his "statements".
