For Kaepernick to win his arbitration, he'd have to prove 32 franchise owners met in secret and conspired to target him individually in violation of [[collective bargaining]] agreements, rather than exercising a standing agreement among owners and a league rule not to re-hire a player terminated from one member franchise for being uncooperative with management, refusing to participate in franchise and league promotions, and bringing public disrespect on the NFL and game of football.
