Related, an AP item carried by multiple outlets. One quote within that coverage:
"The NFL has proven with their treatment of Colin Kaepernick that they do not mind if black players get a concussion, they just got a problem if black players get a conscience."
If that seems untrue or extreme to you, wake up. Zygi loves his revenue, his Wilfare lavished on him by compliant politicians of both stranglehold parties. Bipartisanship for the uber-wealth class; politics as usual. Teaching the children day by day. Today's class, Colin Kaepernick's "problem" attitude. How it can derail your ride to rich and famous.
____________UPDATE____________
Proof by counterexample that you have to be smart to get a law degree and be elected to a court - same item as quoted above, in closing:
That protest earned the ire of an Ohio Supreme Court justice, the lone Democrat holding an Ohio statewide office. Justice Bill O'Neill wrote on Facebook that he wouldn't attend any games at which "draft dodging millionaire athletes disrespect the veterans who earned them the right to be on that field."

| Dear Sir: The NFL has a draft, the Selective Service does not. Black and white players do not dodge the NFL draft, they covet early selection. It pays better. What's your salary? Is it jealousy? |
The learned jurist gets one point for not using the adjective "coddled" but please, email the man if you've the address, the draft ended just about when the Vietnam post-French American-instigated invasion ended; which is earlier than Nixon ended; so today's young blacks have no draft to decline as Ali, at great personal cost, did and for which he is greatly respected. If the man's sense of current Ohio state law is mirrored in his understanding of Selective Service law at the federal level, Ohioans, WATCH OUT.
And why does he keep his tie so tight?
FURTHER: In emailing the judge, send him a definition of "non sequitur." Expressing a protest against police excessive use of force against black men during a song about a flag has nothing to do with veterans, and veterans of military service did not earn NFL players anything. Hard work, sacrifice, keeping up a grade point and good coaching through early career choices did, and the flag's as irrelevant as the nation's over-fat military to how hard the young men worked or how well they were coached in making it through the winnowing process to earn NFL levels of pay. That judge is a brick.
