Colin Kaepernick's legal team has requested a deposition from former Papa John's CEO John Schnatter to see if Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had any role in Schnatter's remarks blaming NFL leadership over national anthem protests by football players, according to Jason La Canfora.
Schnatter stepped down as CEO in January. He blamed the declining NFL viewership and the players kneeling during the national anthem as reasons behind the slowing sales growth of the pizza company. He said the controversy was "polarizing the customer, polarizing the country." Papa John's apologized after white supremacists backed Schnatter's comments.
