NFL's Request for Colin Kaepernick Collusion Case Dismissal Denied by Arbitrator

Colin Kaepernick's collusion grievance against the NFL continued Thursday when an arbitrator declined to dismiss the case during a summary judgment requested by the league, Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson reported Thursday.

Robinson offered further detail to explain the arbitrator's ruling:

What this means for Kaepernick is the arbitrator weighed the current evidence and essentially told the #NFL that its opinion of Kap not meeting a standard for collusion didn’t hold up in summary judgement. Basically, he’s seeing smoke. That’s a big win for Kaepernick’s side. https://t.co/C5MWAJMcmg

Kaepernick filed the grievance in October 2017, arguing the NFL and its owners have conspired to keep him out of the league as a result of his social activism.
