Colin Kaepernick alleged that NFL owners are colluding against rapper Macklemore after he was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour following pro-Palestine comments, The Guardian reported. Kaepernick, who settled his own collusion case against the NFL in 2019, drew a parallel between his experience and Macklemore's removal from the tour.
The rapper's exclusion from Sheeran's dates came after statements he made regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Kaepernick's 2019 settlement stemmed from his blackballing by NFL teams following his kneeling protests during the national anthem to oppose police brutality and racism.
