Ignorance and fear have cost Kaepernick three seasons of his career. How many more losses will that cost NFL owners? USA TODAY Sports' nrarmour explains:
Opinion: NFL owners can't hide from the truth anymore after Colin Kaepernick shows he's ready to playIt’s always been on them, the conscious decision to keep Colin Kaepernick out of the NFL. Now, though, their cover is gone. The excuses that Kaepernick isn’t really interested in playing anymore or that his skills have diminished during his three years in exile, those were exposed for the lies that they always were over a 45-minute span Saturday at a high school in suburban Atlanta.
“We all know why I came out here and showed it today in front of everybody. We have nothing to hide,” Kaepernick said after his first workout in three years. “So we’re waiting for the 32 owners, the 32 teams, Roger Goodell, all them to stop running.Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since the end of the 2016 season, effectively blackballed as punishment for his protests against police brutality toward people of color and social inequality.
They are terrified that TV ratings will drop, or that fans will stay home if someone signs Kaepernick. Never mind that Eric Reid and Kenny Stills have continued their protests, and the NFL is thriving. Or that the younger and more diverse demographic – you know, the one the NFL needs if it wants to reach Goodell’s goal of $25 billion in revenue by 2027 – supports Kaepernick.
Sure, there were some who were there to protest Kaepernick. But there were more who were there to show support. Just as there has been a largely overlooked group that has boycotted the NFL because Kaepernick has been excluded.
