Former Pro Bowl running back LaDainian Tomlinson said the NFL has a "black eye" from its handling of the Colin Kaepernick situation.
Kaepernick, who started the movement of kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality in 2016, has remained a free agent since March 2017 despite repeatedly stating his desire to play again in the NFL.
Tomlinson discussed Kaepernick and the league's response in an interview with Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram released Wednesday:
"It's unfortunate and it's sad and it's a black eye on our league, no question about it, what happened to Kaepernick not being able to get a job.
