Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid resolve their collusion cases against NFL

LA Times  

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, left, and safety Eric Reid kneel during the national anthem before a game against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 2, 2016. The NFL has reached an agreement with players Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid to resolve their collusion grievances, the sides announced Friday. “The resolution of this matter is subject to a confidentiality agreement so there will be no further comment by any party.” The agreement settles a dispute that appeared to be in the final stages of arbitration, coming 16 months after Kaepernick, a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, filed a collusion grievance arguing that NFL teams had blackballed him for kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial inequalities that exist in the U.S. Kaepernick has been the focal point of the most controversial sports protest in a generation. There had to be some measure of concern on their part.” The grievance, which was filed by Geragos and not the NFL Players Assn., asserted that the NFL and team owners “have colluded to deprive Mr. Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for Mr. Kaepernick’s leadership and advocacy for equality and social justice and his bringing awareness to peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States.” The NFLPA said in a statement Friday that it doesn’t know the details of the settlement but supports the decision by Kaepernick and Reid.
