Colin Kaepernick says the NFL is still “actively blackballing” him, about 10 years after he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. In an interview with NBC News, he describes the continued impact of that protest on his professional opportunities.
The two outlets report the same core claim: Kaepernick believes the league’s actions continue to limit him, despite the passage of a decade. Fox News frames the statement as an assertion that the NFL is maintaining an exclusion, while the New York Post also highlights that he continues to follow football but says he is not part of the NFL. Neither report adds new league-side evidence or a direct response from the NFL in the provided text.
