This week exiled National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced he had been invited for a workout on Saturday in front of all 32 teams just months after settling his lawsuit against the league for blacklisting him for kneeling during the National Anthem to bring awareness to unpunished police brutality in the Black community [click here if you missed that].
Now the tryout is raising eyebrows...
First Colin's team requested the tryout be held on Tuesday like normal tryouts because Saturdays are reserved for Sunday game prep. The request was denied.
Then, according to ESPN, several high profile team execs reached out to Colin personally to let him know they would not be there because of the scheduling conflict and told him they were caught off guard and confused by the purpose of the NFL scheduling the workout in the first place. Also the teams were notified by the league of the tryout AFTER they notified Colin.
As of this posting Colin still does not know which or how many teams will be in attendance.
