It's definitely going to be interesting to see how it plays out now that Kaepernick has won his first victory with the arbitrator.
He sure seems to have the support of a lot of professional athletes who don't have to worry about repercussions from the NFL when they speak out.
Yesterday, badass Serena Williams was interviewed following her victory against her sister Venus at the U.S. Open. Kaepernick and Eric Reid were in the crowd of spectators. During a victory interview, Serena focused on Kaepernick and Reid and had this to say:
"I think every athlete, every human, and definitely every African-American should be completely grateful and honored how Colin and Eric are doing so much more for the greater good, so to say," Williams said. "They really use their platform in ways that is really unfathomable. I feel like they obviously have great respect from a lot of their peers, especially other athletes, people that really are looking for social change." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/seren...aepernick/
That respect and support won't likely help or hurt Kaepernick in his labor dispute with the NFL. But, it's gotta feel good.
