Colin Kaepernick: Lawyer expects NFL quarterback to be signed ‘within next 10 days’

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been outspoken over President Donald Trump’s criticism of NFL players.

In September, the President also said the Golden State Warriors were no longer invited to the White House to celebrate their NBA title success after star player Steph Curry said he did not want to attend.

The point guard, a two-time winner of the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, said the team could “inspire some change” by refusing to visit the home of the president.

But now Kerr has also criticised the NFL for “blackballing” quarterback Kaepernick.

Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, Kerr said: “He is being blackballed, that’s a no-brainer.

“All you have to do is read the transactions every day, when you see the quarterbacks who are being hired. He’s way better than any of them.

“But the NFL has a different fanbase than the NBA. The NBA is more urban, the NFL is more conservative.

“I think a lot of NFL fans are truly angry at Kaepernick, and I think owners are worried what it’s going to do to business.”
