They Are Terrified Of Him: The Real Reason The NFL Shunned Kaepernick | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Washington Post op-ed calling NFL team owners cowards for blackballing Colin Kaepernick following his peaceful protests against police brutality and racial injustice. Graham discusses the double standards in the NFL—where players accused of domestic abuse, DUIs, and violent crimes are signed while Kaepernick remains unemployed—alongside issues of systemic racism, CTE, and why he refuses to support the league.
