I think the media coverage of the protest had all but fizzled out, but there was still about 8 or 10 players engaged in the protest, and really, how many more were there at its peak? The fact that Kaepernick does not have a job is a constant reminder to black NFL players (and everyone else who follows the league) that the racism issue is alive and well. I think the issue will continue to flare up regardless of what Trump does or does not do.
