Colin Kaepernick’s new normal — planes, trains and depositions

If it’s Tuesday, it must be Denver.

This is Colin Kaepernick’s life these days, flying from one deposition to another as he pursues a collusion grievance against the NFL.

Kaepernick in 2016 pioneered the silent, take-a-knee protest during the national anthem before NFL games. He opted out of his contract with the 49ers in early 2017. He would like to continue his pro football career but can find no takers for his services.

So, yes, that was him you saw at Denver International Airport on Tuesday morning, on his way to the deposition of Denver Broncos general manager John Elway.
