PHILADELPHIA — An arbitrator is sending Colin Kaepernick’s grievance with the NFL to trial, denying the league’s request to throw out the quarterback’s claims that owners conspired to keep him out of the league because of his protests of social injustice.
Kaepernick’s lawyer Mark Geragos tweeted a picture Thursday of a ruling by arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank.
The former 49ers quarterback argues that owners have colluded to keep him off any NFL roster since he hit free agency in 2017.

A conspiracy theory! That’s the ticket!
Colin, they don’t have to “collude” to not want you, you inspire that on them with your adolescent behavior.
I think they colluded to keep me off any team’s roster too.
Nobody wanted him so that collusion?
Arbitrator is a union plant or democrat. Bet on it.
On the flip side though - can this be used against Facebook, google, Apple and twitter by Alex Jones?
Oh? Do private companies have rights again?
Mark Geragos? One of those lawyers who seems to turn up.in high profile cases???? He just happens to be Kapernics attorney????
So, will Denver be called to share the contract KKKolin turned down, to stay “woke?”
“Collusion” isn’t actionable. It isn’t even a crime. Heck, I don’t think it is even a legal term.
So, if he wins that’ll make him a better QB?
If what John Elway said about the Broncos offering him a job is true, his case falls apart.

Maybe.
Some are fuming that Jay Cutler has a job and Kaepernick does not.
Is there anything illegal about it, if they DID collude to keep him out? Seems to me that any NFL owner/coach that really wanted him would not have hesitated to hire him even if other owners/coaches thought he was damaged.
I don’t see anything good coming out of this other than income for lawyers.
Be better, get a job. Plenty of kneelers still playing.
Figures...the filthiest individual to play in the NFL since OJ hires one of the filthiest lawyers in the country.
Maybe I can join his lawsuit as a co-plaintiff.
The Vast Football Wing Conspiracy! Suing your potential employers for being wise enough to not hire a thoroughly toxic troublemaker. That’s going to go far.
Colin Kaepernick has a grievance? Who knew?
I had thought that since he had made his wishes know, and the NFL had responded, the deal was closed and finished.
Guess not.
It’s rumored this guy has a triple black belt in Whiner Foo.
Don’t know how he got it, since he’s so weak he can’t even stand up for our National Anthem.
