The NFL calls a familiar play in settling collusion suit with Colin Kaepernick
When did NFL teams recognize the link between brain damage and football’s head trauma? The settlement will compensate Kaepernick for income he missed out on while NFL teams employed journeymen like Chad Henne. But it won’t reveal deeper truths about how NFL teams engage Black athletes they label problematic. But NFL teams don’t have a similar framework for reintegrating Kaepernick. The NFL was stuck with a quarterback its teams thought beyond redemption, and a lawsuit it figured it couldn’t win.
