News on Kaepernick Collusion Case Coming Next Week

[MikeMed]

Lawyer for ex-49ers Kaepernick, Reid: News is coming soon


From what I have been reading and hearing their lawyers are pretty confident but to me collusion seems like a tough sell.........How do you prove 2 or more teams got together and colluded to keep them out of the NFL?

IM thinking this is going to be settled out of court......I doubt these guys ever play another down in the NFL but they will probably get another decent check from them.

I doubt they get an extra dime. Teams not wanting to deal with public and media backlash isn't collusion, it's a individual business decision.

When the blick guy doesn't get what he wants, its collusion or discrimination.

But the media sideshow and the fans complaints should say it doesn't matter. A large portion of NFL Fans have spoken. They dont want kneeling during the Anthem. The owners need to take that stance to the courts.

Bet they end up with a settlement.

If they won big, they could actually challenge the NFLPA.

I agree with you. I think the players' protests have been rather empty and insincere. Its time they just shut up and play.

OR, if they are truly concerned and want to make social change that is fine. But kneeling before the anthem isn't going to do that. Get your overpaid asses out in the community and get your hands dirty.

Geragos also represented Scott Peterson and made a number of big proclamations. He lost, lol

Kaep has little to no case and Reid has absolutely no case. Reid didn't even wait until he was close to training camps and salary cap cuts to say he was being colluded against. He may even hurt Kaep's case.

I'm just still curious about what the issue is if teams did collude. To me that's just those on top doing what they deem to be best for the league, regardless if I agree or disagree with that motive. Would Ray Rice get rewarded if teams told each other not to sign him to send a message about domestic violence?

It would be in violation of the collective bargaining agreement

LOL, you might think so but if it is proven a number of teams are in collusion, the collective bargaining agreement can be nullified. At a minimum there are big fines for doing it
