NFL Clearly Defeated Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid by Getting a Confidentiality Agreement this is a bitter defeat the Kaepernick camp will have to swallow if they were looking for anything momentous besides a large pile of cash. |
I'm not so sure on that. I guess it depends on your perspective. The NFL doesn't concede anything to anyone. By settling the lawsuit, without admitting guilt in any way of course, I believe is a defeat for the NFL in and of itself.
By settling the lawsuit, the NFL concedes it was at least culpable in denying Kapernik meaningful employment. Regardless of one's personal feelings on Kapernik, what the NFL did was contrary to established law. I'm thinking title 7 of the Civil rights act signed into law in 1964.
