Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who started the movement of taking a knee during the anthem, filed a “grievance” against the National Football League. He alleged owners colluded to prevent him from playing another NFL game because he engaged in protest.

“If the NFL (as well as all professional sports leagues) is to remain a meritocracy, then principled and peaceful political protest — which the owners themselves made great theater imitating weeks ago — should not be punished,” one of his attorneys, Mark Geragos, said in a posted statement. “And athletes should not be denied employment based on partisan political provocation by the executive branch of our government. Such a precedent threatens all patriotic Americans and harkens back to our darkest days as a nation.”

After Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was injured, Kaepernick sought to join the team to start as a temporary backup. His representatives contacted the team, but ultimately, Kaepernick was denied the opportunity, as the team went with Brandon Weeden.

While there were many less players protesting in Week 6, they continued with a core group that remains committed to expression, even as owners and coaches move to incorporate rules that could impose consequences on players who speak out.

For example, three Dolphins players—Kenny Stills, Julius Thomas, and Michael Thomas—remained in the tunnel (again) during the anthem because the coach has adopted a rule requiring players to stand.

Players protesting also received support once more from a national anthem singer, as Jessica Sanchez, a former “American Idol” star, took a knee after she sang at the Los Angles Chargers-Oakland Raiders game. And players on Hertha Berlin, a German soccer team, all took a knee, including coaches, managers, and staff, against racism.

NFL owners and league management are expected to have a meeting with NFL Players Association representatives to discuss standing during the anthem.

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, who has raised his fist and taken a knee during games this season and last season, was asked if he had any interest in being a part of that meeting. He told media that he did not think the owners wanted players in the room.

“We have a voice and sometimes it could be to the detriment of what they want to accomplish. So we get in there and we start speaking and start doing this and it’ll be too much riff or too many arguments,” Marshall declared. “But our agenda is not what their agenda is. Their agenda is the business, continuing to making money.”

“The NFL makes the most money of any sport — that’s their agenda. Our agenda is — we love to play. We love to play and we want to get paid, but at the same time, if we have a platform, we have a voice, and if we feel strongly about something, we want to use that. But they’ve been honest. They don’t care about that.”
