If I understand correctly, Kaepernick has decided to be an activist and NFL owners have decided he's not a football player.  One QB won't be missed, I suspect.

The more recent widespread kneeling and staying in the locker room presents a bigger problem for the NFL owners, and they've accordingly decided to ignore Trump's advice and will not penalize or fire the players.

The odd thing about this situation, and the point of Lind's article, is we have a President urging that citizens be punished by their employers for exercising a Constitutional right.  As Kaepernick shows, employers can do that, but isn't the President supposed to be promoting Constitutional principles, not urging punishment for citizens who exercise them?
