Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's much-anticipated NFL workout was all but scuttled when he made a last-minute venue change, and the league responded that he was a no-show.

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterbackwas all but scuttled Saturday when he made a last-minute venue change, and the league responded that he was a no-show.

The 32-year-old free agent said in a statement that the venue was changed to allow the media to attend after the NFL had planned a private workout at the Atlanta Falcons training center in Flowery Branch.who lined the field after the session.The league said it bent over backward for the free agent, allowing him to bring his own video crew, Nike to shoot an advertisement during the workout and Kaepernick to use his own receivers.

Kaepernick's representatives said in a statement that media would have been shut out of the Falcons' facility, and they wished for"transparency." They also said the NFL wanted him to sign a waiver they described as"unusual." The league said it was"standard." "The NFL has demanded that as a precondition to the workout, Mr. Kaepernick sign an unusual liability waiver that addresses employment-related issues and rejected the standard liability waiver from physical injury proposed by Mr. Kaepernick’s representatives," his camp said in a statement.

RACISTSNFL HAS 2 CONTROL THE NARRATIVE ITS WAS OBVIOUS; EVERYONE IS THE BAD GUY THE RACISTSNFL SOOO DISINGENUOUS YOU CAN ANTICIPATE THEIR BULL💩.. CAUCASIAN QB CHEATS WITH DEFLATED BALLS PERFECTLY FINE 2 PLAY AGAIN; THAT 💩 IS OK SAYS A LOT ABT THE RACISTSNFL & ROGER!!

It's really all about a Nike add.

Yep, thats the Communist Political Terrorist we know in Kaepernick Milwaukee and Chicago are full of these Communists Kaepernick is from Milwaukee Hillary Clinton and Vallerie Jarret are from Chicago the town where the Weather Underground originated at Northwestern University

He knows he sucks and doesn’t want to show it. He’s only pushing for SJW status now

Even he knows he sucks.

Kaep's such a phony.

Ah... the ole’ bait & switch. The same shit the NFL did with the concussion issues. Makes it look like they’re being “fair”... but really, they’re manipulating the system to avoid accountability

😰😱🥶🥵😱😰🥶

Let's all take a knee for his NFL career.

Colin still sux!

Missing being on the million-dollar tax-funded private busness what a shammmm

The majority of America wants to see the guy be successful. Why's the NFL hate him so badly

(HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS!) 'Hollywood director Bill Condon is crying foul over a campaign that links pedophilia with the subject of his upcoming film, the life of revolutionary sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.'

He’s a bum.

Better communist than QB and he knows it.

I am not being critical of him but I think this guy Colin Kaepernick really has serious mental problems. Didn't he already take a 50 million dollar settlement? I feel a family member or friend should refer him to mental health intervention there are people who can help him.

I believe in something, just not in Colin Kaepernick.

NFL was being shady with the whole event from the beginning. Why didn’t they want anybody else to tape the workout?

Who cares? Please stop giving him an audience

This proves he will be more trouble than he is worth! He feels untitled.

The Real Story AdamSchefter Says, After today’s workout in Atlanta, an NFL executive at Colin Kaepernick’s throwing session said his arm talent is “elite” and is the same as when he came out of college. He said that Kaepernick threw the ball well. ColinKaepernick

Bull. Shit.

Too much water under the bridge between CKaep and the NFL.

Let him bus tables.

Well that went well.

Guess he can't be that hot !

He's not interested in playing

If Kaepernick had said he was taking a knee to protest the Mueller investigation of Trump, Republicans would have made him a national hero and he’d have a couple Super Bowl rings by now.

He pulled the ol switcheroo. Love this man

His 15 min is done...

Your report is inaccurate. You failed to mention the waiver that the nfl wanted him to sign - the reason the workout was moved. You can find that information on your own company website. ReportTheFullStory

He doesn’t want to get signed. He’d rather play the role of victim instead of playing QB in the NFL.

Maybe he is making more money not playing?

When you guys post misleading headlines like this, it makes me happy that I have twitter and facebook to have direct access to alternative sources of information. There are plenty of other reporters on this app, debunking your B.S. headline. FOH w/this misinformation

trump should be sued for being a major player in destroying Kaps's career. That's what trump does. Destroy people.

TheView SunnyHosten WhoopiGoldberg JoyVBehar MeghanMcCain HuntsmanAbby ABC

Good he can be professional activist for life now...... idiots like aren't needed on field.

A lot more details than that

Scouting report: throws like a girl

He was bullshitting about being ready for the last 3 years. They called his bluff and he choked.

Thread.

Another career destroyed by tweet. I hope the NFL stands up to Trump and does the right thing. Turning the public against anyone who crosses him has kept Congress from doing the right thing. Everyone's afraid of the bully. The NFL helped the bully.

Don't know why they would give him another chance. Kaepernick truly was NOT GOOD. There are other young kids out there that can do better.

He looks like a fair college QB. So he can throw with no pressure? Yawn

False narrative and information! NFL tried some legal bullshit and he and his team were smarter....Stop spreading false propaganda!!

Fu*k Kaperdicky 🤡

Make sure the TRUTH is out there. Kaepernick7 changed the location for his workout because he wanted it to be public, but NFL didn't want it to be. They don't want anyone to see that he is ready to work! I have much respect for StillWithKap

Part of playing on a team is being a team player. Kaep demonstrated he is unwilling to follow rules. He's uncoachable and would be a detriment to any team stupid enough to sign this washed up, has been. What Nike shoes are best for being unemployed & sitting on the couch?

Or, this could just be more shitty reporting by

Heck of a way to apply for a job. Hahaha wow! I'll be shocked if any team decides to add the baggage and attitude this character brings with him to their squad.

Hey please look at what you just aired then make a correction .🤔

He and his agents are still unmitigated jerks! You don’t tell the boss you’re interviewing with where the interview will be! Not likely to be picked up by anybody that believes in TEAM!

Lightning-rod for racists. Just read the comments.....

Colin, is TOXIC his issue is with the Police. But he’s disrespecting the American Flag, & the Troops that died protecting AMERICA.

Colin kaepernick found hanged, apologizes for leading made up race war, admits could not play in nfl anymore thingsiwish

When you’re 32 years old and 3 years out of pro football, Kaepernick7 needs to remember that NFL often stands for Not For Long.

nflcommish why not let the man practice in front of media?

So these people flew to Atlanta and drove to Flowery Branch and Kaep didn’t show? I’m wondering how that was a good move if he’s really trying to get back in the league.

Col, just like riding a damn bike, right, once u learn, u don't forget, u looked good out there young man...

No way - he played games to get attention? How terribly unexpected. 🙄

The NFL misplayed this so badly. The Kaepernick controversy had died down. Who was still talking about him? Then the NFL gets the bright idea to put him between a rock & a hard spot for a workout on 4 days notice. No matter what you think of Kaep, this reflects poorly on the NFL

The guy is a loser and always will be because of his ridiculously consistent poor choices.

Welp, you’re done for sure now. Bad career advice. Bad legal advice. Clown move. And this is coming from somebody with zero problem with him kneeling.

Colin wanted to tape it, the NFL said no, so he did it anyway and proved he’s still got it.

He still deserves to play in the NFL.
