1.1 — Grievances: Colin Kaepernick's Legal Claims Against The NFL

On October 15th, 2017, Colin Kaepernick filed a non-injury grievance with the NFL, alleging that the NFL teams have colluded to blackball him from the League because of his recent political protests. What is the substance of Kaepernick's grievance claim, how likely is it to succeed, and what other legal avenues might be available to him? Join us as we examine these issues with Professor Randall Schmidt from the University of Chicago Law School, and Professor Michael Leroy from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This is Briefly, a podcast produced by the University of Chicago Law Review. This episode has been produced by Grace Bridwell, Tom Molloy, and John Tienken. Music from www.bensound.com. Special thanks to the entire online team, including Tom Garvey, Noel Ottman, and Kathryn Running, and our Editor in Chief Pat Ward and Executive Editor Kyle Jorstad. This is our very first episode, so we’d like to further thank last year’s Online Group and Managing Board for their support. Thanks for listening!
