NEW YORK - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday that the league had “moved on” from last month’s long-awaited workout with Colin Kaepernick, three years after the former 49ers quarterback kneeled during the pre-game national anthem in protest of racial injustice. The protests drew the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump and Kaepernick said teams would not sign him because of his activism. He eventually settled a collusion grievance case with the National Football League in February.

The NFL announced the special workout with just a few days’ notice, and the 32-year-old quarterback moved the tryout from the Atlanta Falcons facility to a high school after learning the media would not be permitted to attend otherwise. “This was about creating an opportunity,” Goodell told reporters on Wednesday, at a league meeting. “We created that opportunity. It was a unique opportunity, a credible opportunity and he chose not to take it. I understand that.Representatives for Kaepernick, who has long maintained that he is ready to rejoin the league, said the workout was moved to the high school facility as a result of the NFL not conducting the workout as a “legitimate process.

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👊

Kaepernick forgot we was interviewing for a job. When you interview for a job you don’t get to choose the venue. Maybe he should get in his knees and beg for a job.— in China.

GREAT..he’s a drama queen anyways lol

The Greta of the NFL

Boring gay Is a Political no player futebol.

Goodell will be remembered for overseeing the end of the NFL.

🤣🤣🤣

The NFL signed the Receiver Kaepernick was throwing to in that workout.

Moved on, lol.

Can you imagine how many recent NFL players, no longer in the league ATM, are sitting at home, firmly believing that they should still be playing? Yet their phones aren't ringing for whatever reason. Only this asshole has managed to make THAT into a national issue...

Surprised? This was always just for show. The NFL is really something.

This is the face of failure. No athlete has ever done so much to destroy his own career.

:(

About time

Good Kaep can do a whole lot better than the NFL. It's time for the NFL to be disrupted.

Go play in the XFL Kaepernick7 if you want to play football.. you could be the MVP 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

So has America. Now we can heal

Scary spicy

Good. Hopefully those receivers get a spot. They probably WANT to play.

The NFL should move on from Goodell

Sucky player

Kaepernick is a crazy white MF pretending to be black.

The NFL signed one of the receivers Kaepernick was throwing the ball to at that workout.

Dont call us, we'll call you. In 2050

CK’s willing to join any teim.😉

then why are you talking about it?

Please stop giving this jerk press😡😡

... or, Kaep was trying to stay relevant, failed miserably, and we really don’t give a shit.

I wish the news would move on from him too.

nothing special :)

The NFL is a racist organization. They will pay for that one day! Kaepernick7 has done more to bring attention to injustice towards black people than anybody! NFL racists! Fcuk you!

Kaepernick can teach little league how to knell. 😝

Good!

Goodell says TEAM has 'moved on' from Kaepernick special workout

That sucks. It’s almost like they use him as a toy and muppet

He can wear a stars & stripes uniform & be a sweat rag & waterboy

Slow learner!

In other words, “Buy yourself a car dealership, Kap, you’re done at the NFL.”

When is the NFL going to organize a tryout for all the other players that have departed the league over the last 4 years and tragically remained unsigned

Maybe he will or maybe he’s just trolling and looking for another opportunity to cash in
