After remaining unsigned through six weeks of the 2017 NFL season,
Colin Kaepernick claims the league is participating in collusion.

As first reported by Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, the former San
Francisco 49ers quarterback has filed a grievance against the owners
for collusion under the latest collective bargaining agreement.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported on what Kaepernick is
looking to accomplish with the grievance:

"Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Kaepernick wants to
trigger termination of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.

"Article 69, Section 2 of the CBA allows for the agreement to be
terminated prematurely in the event of proof of collusion. Under
Article 17, Section 16(c) of the CBA, termination can arise from
only one incident of collusion involving only one player if there is
clear and convincing evidence of a violation."

Kaepernick's attorney, Mark Geragos, released a statement on why the
grievance was filed, via Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:

Kaepernick opted out of his contract at the conclusion of last
season with the expectation he would find a new landing spot but has
not gotten a new deal and has received surprisingly little interest
compared to how well he played last season. He finished the year
with 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 12 games.

The 29-year-old was notably the first NFL player to kneel during the
national anthem at the start of last season as a protest against
racial injustice. The media attention is a holdup for several
organizations.

As former Tennessee Titans general manager Floyd Reese recently
explained to 102.5 The Game (via Jason Wolf of the Tennessean), "You
don’t want this circus."

However, Commissioner Roger Goodell has denied there has been any
blackballing of the quarterback.

"I believe that if a football team feels that Colin Kaepernick, or
any other player, is going to improve that team, they're going to do
it," he said in June, via Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com.

La Canfora reported last Sunday that Kaepernick is "not quitting"
and is willing to prove himself as a quality option.

The only consideration should be is he a quality player.

Trump being a jealous guy, injected himself heavily into NFL affairs
with his racist policies.

The reason is clear, Kaepernick was making his silent statement to
massive crowds whereas Trump was only attracting small crowds. I think insecurity from small hands.

Then why would they need Affirmative Action?

When we use the path you suggest we end up with Liberals/Democrats
saying that people in jobs and colleges and players need Affirmative
Action to allow them to be equal. You can't have it both ways either we
use other criteria or we ONLY use the quality of their work. If we use
the quality of their work then a smarter player that doesn't bring their personal lives and decisions from their private life that hurts the team
and the company and the sport is preferable.... which means that they
need someone that can separate their personal feelings from the game and
their job.

It's like the Kentucky woman that was a county clerk and she didn't want
to issue marriage licenses to gays... isn't it, but Liberals told us it
was her job weather she agrees or NOT. Well isn't it Kaepernick's job
to "perform" and if he doesn't like the production then quit.

Liberals always want things both ways, their way.... or the delusional
way they wish it was.

Looks like you have been waiting to bitch about affirmative action for a
very long time. Hope you are happy.

I point it out whenever I see it, and I see it often.

So no I wasn't waiting, I was just ding what I do all the time.
