LeBron James says Colin Kaepernick deserves an apology from the NFL

Three years after Colin Kaepernick was exiled from the NFL for peacefully protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem, the NFL’s leadership is singing a different tune about the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league was wrong for not listening to protests like Kaepernick, and that the league now encourages players to protest. He has also said he encourages teams to sign Kaepernick.

However, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James wants to hear something else from the NFL commissioner: an apology.

Speaking with Bloomberg Businessweek's Jason Kelly alongside his own business partner Maverick Carter, James said that while the NFL has made progress in grappling with protests against racial injustice, Kaepernick still deserves an apology.
