NFL players who have been protesting social issues during the national anthem have requested a formal mediation session with the league, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick has agreed to attend the meeting.

At this point, IMHO the more the NFL features or includes Colin Kaepernick, the better
What does the anti-American have to do with it?
He is not a player, just a agitater.
Why would the NFL give him equal status.
That is ‘former quarterback’ Colin Kaepernick.
They should be “mediated” right out of the league.
I haven’t tried to count tallies, but I think it’s only a small % of NFL players causing the problem. Many teams seem to have hardly anyone involved.
infact, PLEASE, CONTINUE...
NFL 'mediation' means players walk away with 50% of what they weren't (and still aren't) entitled to in the first place.

What's that?
So it may well be only 10% (or fewer) of players protesting. Even among black players, who are 70% of the league, it is probably not much more than 10%. The NFL should have cracked down hard at the start of the 2016 season.
I’m not a lawyer, but I have a hard time believing that a group of owners, and a league that are being sued would allow the plaintiff to attend a meeting with them. Everything they say can be used against them, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Kaepernick and his crew stirred things up just to get the owners to say something.
The NFL should offer Krapperdick a contract from the league and then “sell” it to the CFL (Canadian Football League). That would be a suitable ending, and the SJWs would go crazy.
To the union this has ceased to be about Kaepernick or the flag, and has morphed into a generalized power grab.
They see this as an opportunity to wrest player discipline powers away from Goodell. A mediated settlement which forces them to reinstate Kaepernick would pretty much put the inmates in charge of the prison (to coin a phrase).
The owners of the league and the commissioner have probably come to realize, albeit far too late, that placating the lunatics in the asylum has sent them into a fast moving downward spiral. Honestly, I’ll bet as the season comes to an end and some teams are out, there are going to be completely empty stadiums and some fanatical player protests that will even shock ...us.
Too little and too late for them to realize their meal tickets are in jeopardy, isn’t it?
My one buck says they don’t learn.
Let’s see if the players and player association reps are going to give “a list of demands” .....
The owners are losing their investments by supporting or promoting or not stopping these idiot players. And it serves them right. To hell with nfl!
Feeling the heat are you Slum Dog Millionaires? Mickey D has a job waiting for you brothah.
It would definitely put the inmates in charge of the ASYLUM. I think the NFL reached that point with this whole stoopid unpatriotic fiasco.
And why isn’t ex-employee attending?
Isn’t=is
Hate to say this but Trump miscalculated on this
Not ONE owner Said You Fired
None of the fans walked out
