Kaepernick alleges NFL continues blackballing him a decade after kneeling
Colin Kaepernick tells NBC News that the NFL is "actively blackballing me" a decade after his kneel, arguing the league’s social-justice initiatives haven’t materially changed its behavior toward him. He says there’s no single moment that explains the blackballing and notes no team signed him after he became a free agent in 2017 despite interest; his collusion grievance was settled in 2019. Kaepernick continues training and promotes his memoir The Perilous Fight and other ventures, and is set to receive the Muhammad Ali Center’s Humanitarian of the Year Award.
