Montreal Team Wants to Sign Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick took the time during the previous NFL season to silently protest injustices and police brutality against African-Americans in the United States by kneeling during the national anthem. His gesture sparked much controversy that has only grown bigger a year later. Even the President of the United States gave his harsh opinion on what should be done to those who follow Kaepernick’s approach. Kaepernick’s protest has created so much of an impact that musicians, actors, and TV personalities have gone out of their way to show respect to his cause and kneel in solidarity. Because of his protest, many believe Kaepernick was blackballed from the NFL. When the press asked team owners about Kaepernick and why they wouldn’t sign him, many had views that were tied to the protest.
Now, it appears that Kaepernick still may be able to play for a professional football team if he desires, as the Montreal Alouettes offered the player a contract. The Canadian Football League team reportedly has been in negotiations with Kaepernick for almost a month, but no word has come on if a deal has been set. According to reports, The Alouettes made an offer to Kaepernick, but the football player’s agent has not been responding to calls from the team.
