Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played for the NFL in over three years.

Since the killing of George Floyd, among many others, by police – which is precisely what the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was demonstrating against – the NFL has taken a sharp 180 in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement.

However, LeBron James believes the NFL needs to go a step further and directly apologize to Kaepernick.

During a June 25 interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, the NBA star, alongside his longtime business partner Maverick Carter, said that while the NFL has made progress in accepting protests against racial injustice, Kaepernick still deserves an apology.

“As far as the NFL, I’m not in those locker rooms, I’m not with those guys, but I do understand that an apology — I have not heard a true, official apology to Colin Kaepernick on what he was going through and what he was trying to tell the NFL and tell the world about why he was kneeling when he was doing that as a San Francisco 49er,” said James.
