In addition to serving as an honorary captain for Michigan football’s spring game Saturday, Colin Kaepernick will stage a throwing exhibition at halftime.
and others at an Atlanta-area high school. It had been initially coordinated with the league to take place at the Falcons’ training complex, but Kaepernick and his camp objected to a liability waiver they said the NFL wanted him to sign, and they moved the session to a nearby high school. That cast something of a cloud over the event, and the apparent lack of any ensuing interest from NFL teams continued his years-long ostracization.
The elephant in the room, of course, was Kaepernick’s status as the originator of NFL player protests against racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. The widespread perception is that he was blackballed for his activism, although some posit that his inconsistencies as a quarterback, along with the flood of attention he would probably bring any team that signed him, were at least as much to blame.
