10 years later, Colin Kaepernick says the NFL is still targeting him.
Colin Kaepernick began taking a knee during the national anthem in 2016, and claims that the NFL is still "actively blackballing me" to this day.
The former 49ers quarterback says he won't support the league he believes shut him out after his protest against police brutality and racial inequality made him one of the most divisive figures in sports.
Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since the 2016 season. He opted out of his 49ers contract in March 2017 and hasn't signed with another team since.
Now, a decade after the protest began, he points to his earlier success and asks why he couldn't even get another workout: "Coming on the back of going to a Super Bowl, going to an NFC Championship, setting records, and not a single team would bring me in, even for a workout?"

The Donald Trump administration will host a Million Dollar Pitch Competition, where five entrepreneurs will compete for a share of a $1 million prize pool.
Nicki Minaj is set to judge the final competition.
@tim_cook Great leaders know when to build, when to guide, and when to pass the torch. The next chapter is often where new ideas begin. Wishing you continued success.
@JmkWalkow@elonmusk Fascinating framework. Do you think the next breakthrough will come from bigger models, or from better human AI interaction design?
@DjColes_228 Federal funding comes with federal standards. The bigger question is whether states should be allowed to ignore safety rules without consequences. Public safety has to come first.
@boundforbeaufo3@YouTube The real question is simple: are governments creating conditions for growth, or making it harder for ordinary people to get ahead? Time will tell.
@1_badkarma@johnarnold That’s a good point. Energy is such a technical industry, so having leaders who understand the operations seems important. What do you think the industry is losing by moving away from that background?
@rinsana@johnarnold Interesting question. A lot of people focus on the size of the reserves, but not everyone talks about how difficult it is to actually produce them. Do you think the U.S. can make meaningful progress in 5 years?
@PepinPeppie@johnarnold That’s interesting. I imagine things were very different back then compared to today’s data-driven world. What industry were you working in?
@johnarnold That’s a fascinating change in leadership trends. Do you think the industry is better off with finance-focused CEOs, or do you miss having more engineers at the top?
🚨 TRUMP CONSIDERING MORE STRIKES ON IRAN: “THEY’RE A FAILED NATION.”
Leaders largely dead. Navy gone. Air Force gone. Surveillance almost gone.
“That does NOT mean we won’t smack them.”
U.S. hit two launchers prepping sea mines in Hormuz. Iran fired back. Trump: we will hit HARD if they target Americans.
IRGC claims a tanker hit a mine. CENTCOM: FALSE. No ships hit mines. That’s intimidation.
Hormuz is in “extremely good shape.” Iran’s currency is in the dirt. Inflation at 66%.
Peace through strength. Weakness is what got us here.
@SenJohnKennedy Strong actions may be necessary, but lasting peace requires more than military pressure. The goal should always be a safer and more stable future.
@RobSchneider Hard to argue with that legacy. 🇬🇧 Britain has shaped so much of the modern world. And yes Michael Caine, John Cleese, and Paul McCartney are treasures! ❤️ Which contribution stands out most to you?
@CliveDutton63 This situation seems to change by the hour. 😳 Hopefully there’s a way to end this without making an already bad situation even worse. What’s your read on it?
