Colin Kaepenick’s goal is equality and he deserves our support! All the kneelers should be as unemployed as Colon!

This all started cause Kaepernick is a zhitty, egotistical QB who has a racist girlfriend who hates America and white people ALMOST as much as the players currently protesting.
THIS PROTEST IS A PROTEST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE, PERIOD, END OF STORY.

Prior to his work with the NFLPA, DeMaurice Smith was a trial lawyer and litigation partner in the Washington, D.C. offices of Latham & Watkins and Patton Boggs, serving as the chair of the firm's government investigations and white-collar practice group.[1]

Smith previously served as Counsel to then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder in the U.S. Department of Justice before entering private practice.

[2] He spent nine years with the U.S. Attorney's office and one with the Department of Justice, working on issues like national security and prison construction.[1] Smith has also represented Fortune 500 companies, and argued numerous cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.[3]

On March 15, 2009, Smith was elected unanimously by a board of active player representatives to become the executive director of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA). Although Smith lacked football experience, his ties to presidential power and business experts helped give him an advantage over other potential candidates like Troy Vincent, Trace Armstrong, and sports attorney David Cornwell.[1][3] He was elected to his second and third terms in 2012 and 2015, respectively.[4] As Executive Director, Smith has emphasized that players need to take more control of their careers, educate themselves, and be more involved in the process.[1]

Although his main role is to fight for better player salaries and improved safety, Smith has made it clear that long-term health care and increased benefits for tomorrow are just as important.[5]

During Smith's first term as Executive Director of the NFLPA, the issue that dominated dialogue was the 2011 lockout.[5] With improved player safety, better player salaries, long-term health care, and increased benefits for retired NFL players in mind, DeMaurice Smith helped the NFLPA negotiate with the NFL owners and agree on a new collective bargaining agreement in July 2011.[6]
