"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick once told the NFL.

Ex-rival Richard Sherman says Kaepernick deserves a job after a three-year absence.  

Rev. Al Sharpton called for the league to put action behind Goodell’s words during George Floyd’s funeral in Houston Tuesday.

“It’s nice to see some people change their minds,” Sharpton said. “The head of the NFL said, ‘Yeah, maybe we was wrong. Football players — maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest.’ Well don’t apologize, give Colin Kaepernick a job back.”
