Martin Luther King III Wants Fans to Boycott the NFL Until Colin Kaepernick Is S

Martin Luther King III believes that Colin Kaepernick could easily return to football — but thinks it will require some help from NFL fans.

The human rights activist and oldest living child of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., recently told TMZ Sports that Kaepernick could get back into the league “overnight” with the public’s help.

The NFL star, 31, has been out of work for over 900 days, according to USA Today, since he left the 49ers in March 2017. He sparked controversy after starting the #TakeAKnee movement during an August 2016 preseason game, when he chose to kneel rather than stand during the national anthem in protest of racial injustices, including police brutality.
