Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett claims that the National Football League is treating national anthem protester and former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick unfairly. Also known as the man-who-stood-up-for-his-principles-until-it-hurt-his-bank-account, Kaepernick has not been offered a contract during the NFL’s free agency period this year.
“Of course I think he’s been blackballed, obviously,” Bennett said during an event at Busboys and Poets in the hip U Street Corridor in the nation’s capital.
