Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid settle collusion grievances against NFL and teams
Source: The Washington Post
The NFL and Colin Kaepernick announced Friday that they’ve reached a settlement in the case in which the quarterback accused the league and its 32 teams of colluding to prevent him from playing because of his decision to kneel during the national anthem.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, leaving those in and around the NFL to speculate about what it might have cost the league and team owners to avoid a hearing in the case.
The sideline protest by Kaepernick, which he began in 2016 to call attention to racial inequality and police mistreatment of African Americans, ignited a polarizing movement of NFL players protesting during the anthem and made him an internationally recognized civil rights advocate.
A related collusion grievance by Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid, formerly Kaepernick’s teammate with the San Francisco 49ers who protested alongside him, also was resolved.
