I just need that opportunity to walk through the door.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There\u2019s at least one owner of an NFL team that would be willing to give him a chance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Wednesday\u2019s episode of NBC Sports\u00a0 \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/bayarea\/video\/raiders-mark-davis-vehemently-believes-colin-kaepernick-should-be-nfl\"><span>Race in America: A Candid Conversation<\/span><\/a><span>,\u201d Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis said that he would welcome Kaepernick to the Raiders with \u201copen arms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI believe in Colin Kaepernick,\u201d Davis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/bayarea\/video\/raiders-mark-davis-vehemently-believes-colin-kaepernick-should-be-nfl\">said<\/a>. \u201cHe deserves every chance in the world to become a quarterback in the National Football League. I still stand by it. If our coaches and general manager want to bring him in or want him to be the quarterback on this team, I would welcome him with open arms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think Colin is a very misunderstood human being,\u201d Davis continued. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten a chance to talk to him. I never really knew Colin, and I didn\u2019t understand him. I didn\u2019t understand the kneeling, what that meant initially. Over time, I have learned a little bit more about it. I understand where he was coming from. He\u2019s got a message for society as a whole.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Davis went on to compare Kaepernick to Olympian Tommie Smith, who raised his fist during a medal ceremony at the 1968 Olympics, saying that Kaepernick was in the \u201csame vein\u201d as Smith in that Kaepernick sacrificed things in his life to \u201cget a message across about police violence, equity, and inclusion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn the same vein, Colin Kaepernick has sacrificed a lot of the things that he could have been doing in his life to get a message across about police violence and equity and inclusion in America,\u201d Davis <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/bayarea\/raiders\/colin-kaepernick-deserves-every-chance-be-nfl-qb-mark-davis-believes\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cI stand by that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since 2016, when he started to kneel during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and wore socks that depicted police officers as pigs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In March, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he believes that Kaepernick deserves a second chance in the NFL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDoes that guy deserve a second shot?
