It’s been years consideringthat the NFL ostracized Colin Kaepernick. He hasn’t taken a snap consideringthat 2016, which is the verysame time he started taking a knee throughout the nationwide anthem in demonstration versus authorities cruelty in America.

He’s been out of the league ever consideringthat. Kaepernick tooklegalactionagainst the league in 2019 for collusion and got an concealed settlement as a outcome of the case. That appeared like it may be the end of the story there.
But another door back into the league has formally opened for Kap if he desires to walk through it.
Jim Harbaugh has formally provided Kaepernick a training position on his personnel with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to USA Today’s Jarrett Bell. The previous Michigan head coach stated he talked with Kaepernick about having him in Los Angeles as a coach in January. He stated his previous QB stated he was thinkingabout it, however there hadn’t been any motion because.
“He’s thinkingabout it. He was out of the nation,” Harbaugh informed USA Today Sports. “He stated he was going to get back to me. We sanctuary’t reconnected because then. That was early, early in the year.”
Let’s be genuine — this mostlikely isn’t going to takeplace. Kaepernick would mostlikely be a fantastic coach in the NFL, however he doesn’t desire to coach. He still desires to play — even still after being 8 years gottenridof from the videogame at 36 years old. He stated he desires back in the league as a QB, as he informed Sky Sports in an interview last week.
“We’re still training, still pressing,” Kaepernick stated. He’s not letting the rope go. Honestly, I can’t blame him.
The NFL shamefully banished Kaepernick in 2016 for opposing organized oppressions versus Black folks in America. He was on the right side of history — at least, according to the shift in the NFL’s tenor after that, anyhow. He altered the method the league runs around race. It doesn’t go far enough in most cases, however thinkingabout where it’s coming from, the inches of development made so far by the NFL can be straight associated to Kaepernick’s knee.
Harbaugh’s gesture of offering him a training position appears like a authentic one. He explained Kaepernick as a “hero,” and plainly has some affection for his previous QB and the position he selected to take. He’s plainly somebody he appreciates.
This mostlikely isn’t the method back for Kaepernick, . He desires back on that field. Honestly, with the method the Chargers backup QB space looks? There’s mostlikely not much damage in providing him a shot.
Maybe you oughtto thinkabout that, Jim.
