Sitting in the presence of a Commissioner who has said that football

It’s the closest any NFL executive has come to admitting that
Kaepernick’s status is influenced by concerns regarding public and fan

The issue arose at a fan forum on Sunday, when someone asked
Bisciotti whether he’s concerned that adding Kaepernick would hurt the
team’s “brand.”

it,” Bisciotti said, via the team’s official website. “So pray for us.”
