NFL going full Kaepernick
WLJ:
You never go full Kaepernick
--- Quote ---The New York Post reports:
According to ESPN, the league will have renditions of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” traditionally known as the Black national anthem, played before “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the NFL’s regular season gets underway.
The NFL is also considering other ways to recognize the victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, which is slated to start on Sept. 10. Among those ideas is listing the names of victims on helmet decals or jersey patches, per ESPN.
The decision comes in the weeks after commissioner Roger Goodell admitted the league fumbled its handling of previous peaceful protesting done by players.

Barring injury, with Wilson on the team, does he realistically see playing time? If he rides the bench is he being repressed?

I don't think he will play. I think it is just for show. Nike is paying him to do very little. If he actually made it on the field and showed how average he is, it would hurt his image.
