President Donald Trump is taking credit for ex-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, now a free agent by choice, not yet being signed to a National Football League (NFL) team.
At a rally at the Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky., Trump, a vocal critic of Kaepernick’s protests during the national anthem last season, referenced a report, “Colin Kaepernick Sentenced To NFL Limbo for the Crime of Speaking His Mind,” publishedFriday.
“Some teams fear the backlash from fans after getting him. They think there might be protests or [President Donald] Trump will tweet about the team. I’d say that number is around 10 percent. Then there’s another 10 percent that has a mix of those feelings,” anAFC general manager said, according to The Bleacher Report.The article anonymously quoted NFL officials talking about Kaepernick’s failing prospects as a free agent.
