The NFL has a vendetta against Colin Kaepernick, and there is plenty of blame and confusion to go around.
The polarizing quarterback is still a free agent, and there are few reasonable answers as to why he is not employed by a team desperately needing a quarterback. His national anthem protests initially alienated a significant and misguided portion of the NFL’s largely white middle-class fan base, and the NFL’s maniacal focus on profit continues to scare teams away from associating themselves with a controversial yet productive figure.
After another preseason filled with lackluster performances from starting and backup quarterbacks, one would think that teams would be chomping at the bit to add a consummate professional with past success, an unending dedication to charity and a refreshing lack of character issues.
