A Breakdown Of Why Colin Kaepernick Moved His Workout
Here’s Why Colin Kaep Moved His Workout Session
Colin Kaepernick has been unable to join a team as punishment for igniting the peaceful “Take A Knee” protests during the national anthem some years ago.
According to Kaep, his peaceful protest was not even about the flag. In fact, it was more of a critique on police brutality.
Colin also maintained the owners of all of the teams in the league conspired to blackball him for kneeling during the national anthem before games when he played for the San Francisco 49’ers.
Well, he’s now been given an opportunity to showcase himself for scouts, thanks to Jay Z. Kaep was supposed to have had a public work out in front of NFL scouts yesterday, but it didn’t go down as planned.
Colin had to move the location of the workout, because he suspected that the NFL was up to something.
A friend of Kaep gave a detailed explanation of how everything went down. In the timeline, it seems the NFL were truly up to something, and Colin didn’t stand for it.
See it all below :
1) The Kaepernick camp was upset that the NFL told them about the tryout on such short notice, that it was occurring on a Saturday, instead of a customary Tuesday when workouts usually take place. A Saturday tryout would guarantee no high-level personnel would attend.

3) The NFL told the Kaepernick team there would be no media access to the workout, which the team agreed to. Kaepernick arrived in Atlanta Thursday. He was told it was unclear who his receivers would be. Uncomfortable, he agreed to fly in his own receivers at his own expense.

4) On Friday, in addition to not having media access, the NFL suggested that Kaepernick’s own team would be prohibited from filming the workout, thus leaving the NFL as the only entity with access to the video being sent to the 32 teams.

5) This was especially delicate because the Kaepernick team did not trust the footage the league would send out would be flattering. The fear was a 60-pass program might be edited down to his worst throws. The Kaepernick camp Friday night began preparing an alternate plan.

6) The NFL asked Kaepernick to sign a waiver that he would not sue the NFL in the event no team signed him from the workouts.The Kaepernick team countered with a standard injury form. As the issues remained unresolved, Saturday’s workout remained in jeopardy.

8) By 2:30 pm, the NFL officially rejected their requests. With the issues unresolved, the NFL workout collapsed and Kaepernick’s team proceeded to host its own workout, which after an hour at Charles Drew HS in Riverdale, just concluded. It appears 6 teams attended, from 24.
