Kinda hard to try and tell people that you no longer hate your country.

Too late. Empty seats = empty pockets. People have awakened and they will NEVER return to line the pockets of thugs who hate the country again. Done.

Agreeing to “mediation” = caving. And I’ll bet that’s EXACTLY what the owners will do.

Guess the NFL will replace Washington to solve all social issues. Well at least that would drain the swamp in DC however NYC will become the new swamp.

Why would Kaepernick attend? Is he a player? Is he on a team? Or is he still a member of the players union?

Once upon a time, college football was serious and the NFL was a joke. Maybe they want to go back there. < / sarcasm >

“Okay, guys, we have a deal for ya. Any team where the players are willing to take a 50% pay cut across the board will get Colin Kaepernick. How’s that grab ya?”

Exactly. There's no "dispute" here between the NFL owners and the players for anyone to mediate. It's not as if the owners have attempted to take any disciplinary action against the players.

The dispute here is between the NFL (players and owners) and the league's fans.
