What started as a protest against police brutality has mushroomed a year later into a divisive debate over the future of Kaepernick who refused to stand for the national anthem and now faces what his fans see as blackballing for speaking out in a country roiled by racial strife. The once-rising star and Super Bowl quarterback has been unemployed since March, when he opted out of his contract and became a free agent who could sign with any team.

(FILES) This file photo taken on July 26, 2017 shows protesters gathering in front of the White House in Washington, DC. Five transgender women in the US military are suing President Donald Trump and the Pentagon over Trump's recent announcement he would reinstate a ban on transgender people serving in uniform. In a lawsuit filed in federal court August 9, 2017, the five plaintiffs from the Air Force, Coast Guard and the Army said they faced uncertainty about their futures, including whether they would be fired or lose post-military and retirement benefits. In a series of three tweets last month, Trump upended an Obama-era policy of more than a year that allowed transgender troops to serve openly. / AFP PHOTO / PAUL J. RICHARDSPAUL J.
