Colin Kaepernick, who popularized the controversial gesture of kneeling during the U.S. national anthem, will likely be invited to a meeting with the NFL to discuss social issues and protests, the league said on Wednesday.
NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart told a conference call that a meeting between the league, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) and players will be held early next week and that he expected the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback to be invited.
