Interesting. Couple questions though. For one, why did the NFL blink on this one? The momentum seemed to be on the NFL's side as far as public opinion was concerned. I don't think the general public including a lot of Black folks really cared that much about the whole ordeal. Which leads to another question, did Kaepernick have anything in the form of a smoking gun? I'm thinking he didn't considering he settled rather than go to court. I mean it was pretty obvious a lot of owners and GMs were on the same page when it came to Kaepernick, but that in and of itself doesn't necessarily mean collusion.

Having a hard time imagining what was deemed sufficiently fair to both parties considering everything that lead up to this point. This whole thing ended in a very lackluster manner considering all the controversy.

Public opinion has nothing to do with the facts of the matter. They colluded to get him out. He had owners emails. A clear violation of the collective bargaining agreement.

The question is what was he originally asking for?

I’m sure all roads lead to Trump. If the league had a real union, the day of reckoning would be the new upcoming CBA deal

Plain to us there was collusion, but to prove it technically is a different matter. I hear you though. I'm curious what satisfied him enough to settle myself.

Cacs all in the comments all over Twitter and Instagram “but I thought it wasn’t about the money”

If the NFL didn’t do shyt wrong then it wouldn’t have been a check cut and they wasn’t about to go court and risk their secrets getting out. Salute to Kaep.
