D.L. Hughley has an issue with why Colin Kaepernick wound up filing a grievance against the NFL and it has to do with his status with Barack Obama and O.J. Simpson. According to the star of “The Comedy Get Down,” the three have a designation that they probably wouldn’t like.
“The three most hated Black men in America are Barack Obama, Colin Kaepernick and O.J. — and two of them never were accused of murder,” he tells TMZ Monday, Oct. 16. “They hate Colin Kaepernick right now more than they hate O.J.”

Hughley said Kaepernick, who alleged the NFL is colluding against him, has not had the opportunity to prove himself to other teams. The quarterback has remained a free agent after protesting the national anthem last season.
“[Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones doesn’t want his players — standing for the national anthem is [owners’] problem,” Hughley says. “You brought [former defensive lineman] Greg Hardy on when he beat his wife. You bought him when he was suspended. Ezekiel Elliot, you fought for him, he’s accused of beating somebody. … It’s ridiculous. If [Kaeperick] can’t play, everybody could see he can’t play.”
Hughley added the best thing that could happen for Kap next is for him to get a job offer, however, he isn’t certain teams will take a chance on signing him now.
