At this point they should just televise the entire @Kaepernick7 workout. Put everything out in the public. I want to see exactly what these teams see today.

Just a surreal scene here. Kaepernick and crew arriving at a high school field. We’re right next to the ticket booth ($7, no refunds) waiting to get in.

Per a source, this all boiled down to Kaepernick wanting the public to see the workout and everything that happened with their own eyes. When the NFL refused to allow that, plans were made to move it to an open venue where anyone/everyone could judge the quality of the workout. https://t.co/HDtV1pRWka

ESPN reports Colin Kaepernick’s NFL workout is being moved to a new location in the Atlanta area and will now start at 4 p.m. ET Saturday, representatives for the quarterback announced Saturday afternoon.
The NFL had previously declined to allow media and cameras into the workout, as Kaepernick had requested for transparency, attorney Ben Meiselas and agent Jeff Nalley said in a statement. They said media would now be allowed to attend the workout.
“From the outset, Mr. Kaepernick requested a legitimate process and from the outset the NFL league office has not provided one,” Meiselas and Nalley said. “Most recently, the NFL has demanded that as a precondition to the workout, Mr. Kaepernick sign an unusual liability waiver that addresses employment-related issues and rejected the standard liability waiver from physical injury proposed by Mr. Kaepernick’s representatives.
“… Mr. Kaepernick simply asks for a transparent and open process which is why a new location has been selected for today.”
