The NFL reportedly conspired to keep Colin Kaepernick out of the league, according to a former executive.

Lockhart revealed that NFL owners viewed Kaepernick as a player who would take away from the bottom line.

Lockhart also revealed that NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, and several executives attempted to convince teams to sign Kaepernick in 2017.

But with the recent uprising around the world following the death of George Floyd, many believe that the NFL has been on the wrong side of history when it comes to Kaepernick.

On May 28, Kaepernick used social media to express his thoughts on the untimely death of George Floyd and police brutality.
