President says player should return if he is good enough Kaepernick has not played in
NFL since end of 2016 seasonWhich team would be the best fit for Kaepernick?On the same day that the
Los Angeles Chargers head coach, Anthony Lynn, said teams would be “crazy” not to look at Colin Kaepernick in the run-up to the new NFL season,
Donald Trump says he would support the quarterback returning to the league.
During an interview with
Washington TV station WJLA, the president was asked if Kaepernick should get another chance in the league. “If he deserves it, he should,” Trump said. “If he has the playing ability. He started off great, and then he didn’t end up very great in terms of a player. He was terrific in his rookie year. I think he was very good in his second year. And then something happened. So his playing wasn’t up to snuff.“The answer is absolutely I would. As far as kneeling, I would love to see him get another shot. But obviously he has to be able to play well. If he can’t play well, I think it would be very unfair.”
