Curt Flood took his case all the way to the Supreme Court. No MLB settlement payments. No Nike deal. No Netflix deal. No fashion covers.
He paved the way for what would become free agency in all of professional sports.

Colin got payed $160 million by Nike 
He never really risked his life
It hurt his career for sure, but he didn't really do much else active beyond that.
He obviously had an influence, but I don't know if he should be given the same reverence to this who actually risked their lives.

what attention did he bring? what change did he bring for african american athletes?While I don't think one person is crucial for the civil rights movement, Colin's attention to continued efforts of injustice against African Americans can't be understated or overlooked.
The simple fact that the NFL can play black Americans Anthem while downplaying the mis justice of Kaepernick in NFL is just
the fukk?
Lavar Ball>Colin Kaepernick
fuk it, Lamelo Ball>Colin Kaepernick

Are we serious right now? Risking your life is the standard for being recognized for civil rights?
, when did you 1980-90s baby's change the "supposed standard" (as if it ever existed)? Y'all disingenuous...The simple fact you can recognize the protest hurt his career but state all the other BS

He was able to stop nfl discussions at work
People had to talk about something other than football with other people
For that he’s a legend

He's right.
Kaepernick represents the final nail in the coffin when the corporations were able to finally and difinitively infiltrate black empowerment movements and destroy them with all this performative, intangible bullshyt.
Darren Seals one of the founding fathers of the true BLM died the same year Kaepernick started all his stuff.

The national black Anthem for one, the NFL actually acting like they care about black issues in a majority black league for once, wow
I'm not saying what he did doesn't deserve recognition.Are we serious right now? Risking your life is the standard for being recognized for civil rights?
The simple fact you can recognize the protest hurt his career but state all the other BS
I'm just saying that it shouldn't be looked at the exact same as others before him
