Terrell Owens leading 'march and kneel' event in honor of Colin Kaepernick

NFL Hall of Fame receiver Terrell Owens wants to see Colin Kaepernick back in the NFL, and he’s not just talking about it, either.

TMZ reported Thursday morning that Owens will be leading a “march and kneel” rally. It’s being co-engineered by Kappa Alpha Psi — the fraternity that Kaepernick joined while he was a student-athlete at University of Nevada, Reno.

Per the report, Owens has “hopes of putting pressure on NFL teams to sign Colin to a roster for the 2020 season.”

Kaepernick started protesting police brutality against African-Americans in 2016. He started by sitting on the bench, then spoke with former Green Beret Nate Boyer, who suggested he kneel instead so as to not disrespect the flag. Other players joined Kaepernick in the protests, sparking a strong retort from Donald Trump.

Being a fan and season ticket holder of the 49er's rival Seahawks many jokes were made by us at Kaepernick's expense. I always respected his right to kneel in protest at the games none the less.

The billionaire owners who loot taxpayers blacklisted CK. Goodell was in on it.

Make them uncomfortable. The whole NFL ought to kneel during every national anthem.
