And in sports news, Colin Kaepernick and the NFL reached an undisclosed settlement Friday in Kaepernick’s collusion case against the league and its 32 teams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback accused the NFL of preventing him from signing on to any team in retaliation for “taking the knee’” during the national anthem as a protest against police violence and racism. Eric Reid, a former teammate of Kaepernick’s who joined him in kneeling on the field in 2016, also settled his grievance against the NFL. Reid joined the Carolina Panthers last year after being temporarily unsigned.
