But the perception that Tebow is getting another opportunity before Kaepernick has been enough to set off critics eager to slam the league.
Free-agent wideout Dez Bryant tweeted “you have to be kidding me” in response to the reports, clarifying that he was happy for Tebow but suggested there was a racial element at play. “Pay ATTENTION to what goes on around the US and look deeper between the lines,” he wrote. Eagles cornerback Darius Slay also said it was “mind-blowing” that Tebow could return before Kaepernick.
Kaepernick, of course, has been out of the NFL since 2017 the season after he became the first player to kneel during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. Kaepernick and his supporters have said the quarterback has been blackballed by the league’s owners, while his critics usually say that Kaepernick either no longer has the talent to play in the NFL or his talent would not be worth the potential media storm that his signing would warrant.

Policymakers fear jeopardizing the industry’s recovery from the pandemic because Hawaii needs the jobs back. Reading time: 8 minutes.
As recently as early 2020, before COVID-19 wrecked the state’s economy, Hawaii was grappling with a problem much different from today’s economic challenges. The question then was what to do about ever-growing hordes of tourists.
The 250,000 visitors in Hawaii each day equaled nearly a fifth of the state’s population. And residents’ attitudes toward them were plummeting, as visitors took over beaches, hiking trails and homes in neighborhoods that had become meccas for vacation rentals.
