Kaepernick’s Problem with the NFL

Kaepernicks Problem with the NFL

Daniel Valdez, Reporter

Mr.Kaepernick is not in the NFL, but still has a problem with them not respecting Black football players. Kaepernick’s attorney issued a statement on Thursday, October 12th on Kaepernick’s behalf in response to recent NFL tweets from President Donald Trump. The statement, from Kaepernick attorney Mark Geragos, quoted John F. Kennedy. This wasn’t a big deal until President Trump started making remarks. This lawsuit could literally be a game-changer, not just for Kaepernick, but for the labor rights of all NFL players. He is hoping to trigger termination of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which was signed on 2011 and is set to expire in 2021, by proving that the NFL-at-large conspired to keep him out of the league.
