The 2017 regular-season is less than two weeks away and Colin Kaepernick remains out of work. Depending on who you ask, the reasons vary from "he's being blackballed by the league because he knelt during the national anthem last season" (as a form of protest against social injustice, it should be noted) to "he just hasn't played well enough the last few years."
Rev. Jesse Jackson firmly falls into the former category. On Friday, he said during an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" that NFL owners "have colluded" to keep Kaepernick from playing.
"They have decided not to have him play and he should have the right to play and express himself at the same time," he told Maher, adding later, "He's not burning the flag, he's not hustling drugs to teammates, he's not shooting people with guns."

You knew it was going to happen ...

Hey Jesse, you old race baiting racist sonofabitch! How are you? Is your corrupt son still in prison?
2 wins, 14 lost in 2016.
Said like it’s a bad thing?
I’m sure if a white player had been doing the same thing last season he’d be getting the same treatment.
Plus he pissed on all the fans and the NFL didn't stop that out. So expect NFL viewership to drop like a stone this year. We ain't having it !
Colon had an offer to play for $900,000 a year. He was offended that he would be paid what a rookie is paid. Why should we feel sorry for that moron?
Jesse Jackson: making a living out of perpetuating racism for decades.
Colon can sit in his own chair at home for the National Anthem.
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but didn’t this racist POS opt out of the only team stupid enough to give him a contract... the San Fransicko Fornicators?
Let’s see. Hire a less than stellar QB ranked maybe 23rd in the league who brings negative controversy to my franchise. I think I’ll pass. So to speak. Or maybe punt.
Where is the evidence that CK even wants to play football?
he has become persona non grata to all owners. He turns people off, the league wants fans, not to turn them away.
These football players want to play divisive racial and ethnic nationalist politics? ....that’s their risk, not the owners to bear.Just a case of swollen egos and a field hand reparations mentality. Truly, America does not need the Balkanization of our country into racial and ethnic conflict areas.
Football players should be thankful to America for their multi million dollar contracts. Alternatively they can take their field hand mentality back to the cotton fields from where it comes, and take the pay that comes with it.
It is my team, it is not publically owned (except the Packers) and I decide who will play on my team. Share owners elect the Board Of Dirctors in the Packers case.
When you play here, you play by my rules or you don’t play at all, because it is my ball that why.
Nice try Jesse. Blame the rich white owners.
He dug his own grave. Besides he’s richer than
you and already made his millions.
I think he’ll get by.
Colluded is the new racist.
In the 2007 College Football season Tebow threw for 29 TD’s and rushed for 21 more, the most in SEC history. He won the Heisman. In 14 career NFL regular season starts, Tebow is 86 with 17 passing TD’s and 12 rushing TD’s. That’s 29 total TD’s in his first 14 games!
Shove it, Jesse.
Your time is up.
I tell ya' folks....it's brilliant. Anyone who wants to participate in this can ask to be traded to that team! <^..^>
Gosh Jesse, ya caught them.
You must be a genius.
