Ten years after historic protest, Kaepernick launches book and accuses NFL of boycott: 'Pure theater'

oglobo2 September 2026 at 07:38

Ten years after initiating the protest that shook American sports, Colin Kaepernick stated that the NFL continues to boycott him for his political positions and called the league's response to racism allegations "false." In a rare interview with NBC News, the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers stated that he sees no reason to reconcile with an organization that, in his opinion, never took responsibility for the treatment of players who protested against racial injustice.

Kaepernick declared that he will not support an organization that is actively boycotting him and persecuting his teammates who also protested. The former offensive leader of the 49ers, who took the franchise to the Super Bowl in 2013, has not played an NFL game since then.

The article also mentions that ESPN canceled a documentary series by Spike Lee about the player. Additionally, Mourinho, now at Real Madrid, commented on the racism case against Vinícius Jr., stating that he supports the Brazilian player.
