Baseball legend Hank Aaron and the NAACP have weighed in on the fate of unsigned quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Aaron, in an online video published Wednesday by AllThatTV, said he thinks Kaepernick is "getting a raw deal" and called on an NFL team to give the outspoken quarterback "a chance to do his thing."

Later Wednesday, the NAACP said that it is seeking a meeting with Roger Goodell to discuss Kaepernick, writing in a letter to the NFL commissioner that it is "no sheer coincidence" that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback remains unsigned.
