Colin Kaepernick

According to a recent Harris poll, Nike’s reputation with the general public has strengthened over the past two years.

Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league was "wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier," but he has not mentioned quarterback Colin Kaepernick by name.

The NFL is holding a private workout for Colin Kaepernick. Some of the details are puzzling.

The football player refused to stand for the national anthem in protest of racial injustice, and some in the sports community speculate his political activism led to the NFL blackballing him.
