“N.F.L. Settlement With Kaepernick and Reid Is Said to Be Much Less Than $10 Million”

The N.F.L. will pay considerably less than $10 million in its settlement of grievances filed by Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement who were not authorized to speak publicly.

Specifics of the settlement were not disclosed when the deal was reached Feb. 15, ending an 18-month standoff over claims by Kaepernick and Reid, former teammates with the San Francisco 49ers, that they had been denied jobs in the league because they knelt through the national anthem before games. They accused the league’s 32 teams of colluding to keep them out of the sport.

Much of the settlement will cover the fees of lawyers representing Kaepernick and Reid, one of the people with the knowledge of the agreement said Thursday, and the players will receive smaller, roughly equal amounts.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the estimated amount of the settlement, which included a confidentiality agreement.

An N.F.L. spokesman and one of Kaepernick’s lawyers declined to comment on Thursday, referring to the confidentiality agreement. […[ Ken Belson, NYTimes

H/T: ‘Colin Kaepernick looks bad’ after reported settlement with the NFL – Stephen A. | First Take

That is a good question Truth. From what I heard on the sports shows I don’t think he had to agree not to protest. He just can’t tell anybody how much he got or what teams admitted to collusion.

So I’m curious. Now that Colin has accepted a settlement….AND signed a NDA to keep the details hidden (good luck w/that)…what exactly is his current social justice stance?

If given an opportunity to play in the NFL again will he continue to kneel during the anthem? Or does the settlement mean that he’s done with social justice activism?
