PHILADELPHIA -- An arbitrator is sending Colin Kaepernick's grievance against the NFL to trial, denying the league's request to throw out the quarterback's claims that owners conspired to keep him out of the league because of his protests of social injustice.

Kaepernick's lawyer, Mark Geragos, tweeted a picture Thursday of a ruling by arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank.

Kaepernick argues that owners have colluded to keep him off any NFL roster since he hit free agency in 2017.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback began a wave of protests by NFL players two seasons ago, kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality. The protests have grown into one of the most polarizing issues in sports, with President Donald Trump urging the NFL to suspend or fire players who demonstrate during the anthem.

Kaepernick contends the owners violated union rules by conspiring to keep him off teams.

He was excluding some pertinent details by saying that and he might've helped Kaepernick because why he no longer wanted to sign him becomes important.

I wanted Houston to sign him when Watson got hurt last year. But short or an email or something from the League office instructing teams not to sign him I’d think this would be hard to prove. He’s become too much of a lightening rod and wouldn’t be worth the trouble

I need to re-read the CBA's burden of proof regarding MSJ and read the evidence that justified this cuz this appears COMPLETE bullshite, if I'm the NFL I litigate this to verdict (likely in their favor) to SEND A MESSAGE to all the ENTITLED DUMBASSES that THIS ISN'T A RIGHT
