Colin Kaepernick is back on television because he has a book to sell. The memoir, “The Perilous Fight,” lands Sept. 15. NBC News gave him a long interview to promote it, calling the decade since he knelt “unfinished business.” [snip] Kaepernick still says the NFL is “actively blackballing” him. He says he has not watched a league game since he left. He works out at 4:30 a.m. as if a roster spot were waiting. Roger Goodell has said for years he does not believe Kaepernick was blackballed and that clubs make their own calls. [snip] The league tried to put him in front of all 32 teams in 2019. He walked away from that workout the morning it was scheduled, citing a waiver. Then he staged his own session. Teams treated it like what it looked like: a man who wanted the narrative more than the job. [snip] Kaepernick told NBC he does not want black kids to think “if you fight for black folks, it’s over for you.” Fair enough as a personal worry. It is not an explanation for why no general manager has used a roster spot on him for 10 seasons. He chose the posture. He chose the interviews. He chose to skip the 2019 tryout. He chose a memoir-and-manifesto over another offseason in someone’s quarterback room. None of that makes him a victim. It makes him a brand. [snip] What it will not find is an NFL team willing to blow up a locker room so Colin Kaepernick can keep saying the league is the reason he does not play.
