Colin Kaepernick expected to be invited to next meeting with owners

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday in Manhattan.

The league has surrendered to the players so thoroughly, that they must realize the ultimate capitulation for the NFL can't merely amount to Kaepernick attending a meeting.

He did not attend a meeting on October 17, despite receiving an invitation from Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins.

Kaepernick hasn't fielded questions publicly since his final game with the 49ers last January. This could very well be a result of his national anthem protests and strong feelings about police officers. But his refusal to stand for the anthem to draw attention to police brutality and racial injustice became a far bigger story than his on-field performance, ultimately making him the target of bellicose rhetoric from U.S. president Donald Trump last month. "There are bodies in the street, and people getting paid leave, and getting away with murder". The protest movement he sparked has turned into a major trend that has affected practically all of the NFL's 32 teams, and has led to outspoken criticism from US President Donald Trump, who condemned the players on numerous occasions for "disrespecting the national flag".

Kaepernick, who has not suited up for an National Football League club since doing so as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, began a movement last season, kneeling for the anthem over his view of police brutality and racial inequality.

Kaepernick recently made headlines by filing a grievance against league owners accusing them of "collusion" based on "partisan political provocation by the executive branch of our government".

"We believe that we are". What Trump is doing is trying to use his considerable power and influence as the president to stop the protests, and what many must understand is that just because we love our country doesn't mean we have to agree with everything that is going on in our country.
