Kaepernick: Looking better all the time
In today's NY Times:
...After opting out of his contract and finding no team willing to sign him, Kaepernick in 2019 won a multimillion-dollar settlement of his claim that the league blackballed him because of his protests.
In November, the league organized a tryout for Kaepernick that ended in a dispute over the ground rules. Kaepernick held his own workout for a half dozen N.F.L. scouts, but no team offered him a contract.But when Commissioner Roger Goodell said last week in a video statement that the N.F.L. was wrong not to listen to players and encourage those who were protesting, he did not name Kaepernick. Until he does, players say the league’s efforts to fight the issues he raised will be viewed as insincere...
Ann Killion in the SF Chronicle has always been good on the Kaepernick issue. Today: Athletes use their unique positions to amplify calls for change, justice and Colin Kaepernick and George Floyd: Two knees, two reactions, one issue.

But he still cannot read a defense
How do we know that if he isn't playing?
When he was playing, perhaps he has been coached since out of work.
More importantly he's looking good as a human being. A lot of black people have been killed by the police since he starting kneeling during the national anthem. Too bad people didn't get "woke" about police violence against black people earlier. And he also nailed the NFL owners for black-balling him! Hard not to like that. Would be good for NFL TV ratings if a team signed him this year, assuming there's going to be a season.
