Report: Kaepernick says that a decade after taking a knee, he shuns the NFL for ‘blackballing’ him
- In a recent interview, former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick criticized the NFL's social justice initiatives as "performative" and "disingenuous," stating he no longer watches the league.
- Kaepernick has remained unsigned since the 2016 season, an exile he attributes to NFL blackballing for his kneeling protests, leading to a 2019 legal settlement with the league.
- Multiple coaches, including former Baltimore Ravens boss John Harbaugh, were "shut down from above" when attempting to sign him, Kaepernick alleged, while criticizing the league's "race norming" practices.
- The NFL defended its record by pointing to the "Inspire Change" initiative, which contributed more than $575 million to social justice efforts, though Kaepernick maintains the league has not "materially changed."
- Kaepernick is releasing a part-memoir, part-manifesto titled "The Perilous Fight" this month and continues activism through his "Know Your Rights" camps designed to educate young people.
