Sports With Littlefield: Kaepernick Remains Unsigned, UConn Women Dominate
Resume
Sixteen teams remain in March Madness. The winner of last year's men championship, Villanova, is out of the competition but the returning champions of the women's tournament, UConn, are on a 109 game winning streak.
And quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who led San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2012, is still a free agent. Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem in 2016 and, now, NFL teams seem to be refusing to sign him.
Even President Trump, who has feuded with Kaepernick in the past, weighed in.
"There was article today that reported that NFL owners don't want to pick him up because they don't want to get a nasty tweet from Donald Trump," said Trump at a rally on Monday.
