Colin Kaepernick's lawyer says NFL owners were colluding by 'kowtowing' to Donald Trump
Colin Kaepernick’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, has added a Donald Trump twist to his collusion accusation against the NFL.
Geragos went on the “Today” show on Thursday morning and responded to the comments NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made about Kaepernick at his Wednesday news conference, and he didn’t stop there. He blasted NFL owners for colluding, but said they were doing it to appease President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Goodell was asked why Kaepernick remains unsigned at his pre-Super Bowl news conference. Goodell emphasized that there is no collusion — every team makes its own decisions based on its best interests and what it takes to win — and if a team thought Kaepernick could help, it would sign him.
Geragos found that pretty laughable (not surprising since he and Kaepernick have filed a collusion grievance against the NFL), and ripped it apart from several angles. But amongst his assertions about Kaepernick’s shape and the unlikelihood that 32 owners would separately come to the exact same conclusion in the exact same way, he dropped an interesting tidbit about the root of the alleged collusion. Geragos said that Trump’s very public disgust with Kaepernick kneeling to protest police brutality and criminal injustice is what drove the owners to collude to freeze Kaepernick out of the NFL.
