Trump fans, NFL fans, and Colin Kaepernick’s non-social-justice-warrior fans (if there are any left) cheered collectively when it was reported that the beleaguered former NFL quarterback would be willing to stand for the National Anthem if given the opportunity to play on Sundays again. The cheers quickly died down when it was revealed that he wouldn’t. The report was false.
Here’s what the AP reported from CBS initially:

CBS clarifies after saying Kaepernick would stand for anthem
NEW YORK (AP) — A CBS reporter has clarified his televised report saying quarterback Colin Kaepernick told him he would stand during the national anthem if he played in the NFL again, saying he didn’t discuss the issue with the player when they spoke.
Jason La Canfora said in a series of tweets on Sunday that he was relaying previous reporting about Kaepernick and did not ask whether the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback would sit or stand during the anthem.
Who changed the story? Apparently, the “boss” at Camp Kaepernick is his girlfriend, Nessa Diab. As Breitbart puts it, she’s “the woman perhaps most singularly responsible for Colin Kaepernick remaining a free agent.” Her Tweet was the one that set the record straight.
The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone. pic.twitter.com/tWusUBJMeF

Final Thoughts
So much is being made of the notion that Kaepernick is still a free agent because of his history. The NFL is not known to care much about a player’s history. Michael Vick was signed after killing dogs. While there may be some politics at play, it really comes down to the fact that Kaepernick was failing as an NFL quarterback before he took his first knee. Unless he’s somehow gotten better than he was before, this is more about a sub-par player rather than a political statement.
