The filing, which demands an arbitration hearing on the matter, says the NFL and its owners "have colluded to deprive Mr. Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for Mr. Kaepernick's leadership and advocacy for equality and social justice and his bringing awareness to peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States."
Kaepernick's attorney sent a copy of the complaint to the NFLPA, as well as the NFL and all 32 teams. He tweeted out a statement Sunday saying he filed the grievance "only after pursuing every possible avenue with all NFL teams and their executives.''
"If the NFL (as well as all professional sports teams) is to remain a meritocracy, then principled and peaceful protest -- which the owners themselves made great theater imitating weeks ago -- should not be punished and athletes should not be denied employment based on partisan political provocation by the Executive Branch of our government," Geragos said in a statement. "Such a precedent threatens all patriotic Americans and harkens back to our darkest days as a nation. Protecting all athletes from such collusive conduct is what compelled Mr. Kaepernick to file his grievance.

I hope he realizes that now, he'll never play professional again.

Kaepernick fails to understand that the NFL is entertainment. He doesn't entertain me. The owners are trying to save their entertainment medium, which is suffering from his actions while in their employ.

All the sports analasists agree that without Kaepernick, the 49's have no chance to reach the Super Bowl this year.

How many years they had him did they not reach the SB?

Over 10,000 sigs from Packers fans, so far, to get the pack to sign Kaepernick.

I didn't realize that Change.org was a Packer fan site. I thought it was a Progressive petition-generating site.

Kaepernick opted out of his NFL contract in March. He was unemployed by choice at the start of the season.

If he'd been arrested for drunk driving or fighting in a bar maybe he'd have a job.

the little tiny bit i know about this guy 'colon' is that he sucks as a football tosser.
