Terrell Owens: NFL Owes Colin Kaepernick an Apology, Opportunity to Return to Play

Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens says the NFL owes Colin Kaepernick an apology. Owens spoke at a protest against police brutality in Inglewood, Calif., on Thursday.

“We wouldn’t be here right now if [Kaepernick] didn’t do what he did,” Owens said, according to the Los Angeles Times' Emmanuel Morgan. “It’s all come full circle. I’m standing in the gap right now for my brother, and they owe this man an apology.”

Kaepernick has not played since 2016, the same season in which he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.
