In November 2019, the NFL organized a private workout for Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta, inviting all 32 teams to evaluate his skills. However, a dispute over a liability waiver and media access led Kaepernick's team to move the workout to a high school location three hours before the scheduled start. Following the session, Kaepernick delivered a rare public statement demanding that NFL owners and Commissioner Roger Goodell "stop running from the truth."
