Colin Kaepernick<\/strong>‘s road back to the NFL has been one paved with roadblocks. Following the kneel that shook the league and the public consciousness at its foundation, Kaepernick has with great certainty been blocked from returning to the National Football League. Despite his formidable talent, past successes, and lesser quarterback signings since he took\u00a0his stand against racial injustice and police brutality at the hands of blacks in 2016, the former San Francisco 49ers QB has been without work in the league he dominated not that long ago.<\/p>\n

But where there’s a will there’s a way, and if that will is for Colin to return to the NFL next season, adidas<\/strong> would be first in line to sign him.<\/p>\n

“If he signs on a team, we would definitely want to sign him,” said Mark King, adidas North America President\/CEO, at Arizona State University’s Global Sport Summit per a report from AZ Central<\/a>.<\/p>\n

King went on to say that he doesn’t want to come off as “taking advantage of this noise or interest that he had generated.” He does however believe in athletes sparking change and leading their own revolutions. “If they\u2019re an activist in a way that brings attention to something that moves the world forward, even if there\u2019s controversy at that moment, we\u2019re really interested in those athletes because I think it represents the world today.”<\/p>\n

Kaepernick, though, in spite of this endorsement offer, remains far from signing with an NFL team. Since 2016, offers and interest have been all but absent. That is until just recently, when the Seattle Seahawks wanted to bring Kaepernick in for an interview and subsequent workout. Unfortunately, the meeting was postponed indefinitely when Colin couldn’t commit to discontinuing his pregame protest.<\/p>\n

Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem in 2016. Since that time, many other players – both black and otherwise – have followed his lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
