Herschel Walker: Kaepernick's refusal to end protest shows 'he doesn't want to work'

While Colin Kaepernick has received support from a wide variety of former NFL stars for his work against racial injustice and his protesting methods, ex-Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker believes he understands why NFL teams are reluctant to sign the quarterback.

Walker said told TMZ on Saturday that Kaepernick's reported refusal to decide whether he will continue to protest during the national anthem while on a visit with the Seattle Seahawks proves the unemployed quarterback isn't prioritizing football.

"I read where they asked him if he would still kneel if they hired him, and he said he wasn't sure or he may, and that tells you right there that he doesn't want to work," Walker said, according to Bleacher Report's Alec Nathan. "My point is: I think what he was doing was great. I think what he stood for was great. Black lives matter.

"Right now I think he's got to remember that you have teams saying, 'If you do what we ask you to do, you may have a job.' But he don't wanna do it. ... I own a chicken company. If the guy that I hire don't want to do what I ask him to do, why do I hire him? And I think that's the problem right there, you know."

Kaepernick, who has been without a team since opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2017, has filed a collusion grievance against the NFL.
