Shunned by the football league headquartered in New York Womens Andy Dalton Jersey , free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick and free-agent safety Eric Reid have been celebrated by the national tennis tournament held there.

Via multiple reports, Kaepernick and Reid received a rousing ovations when their images were displayed on the video board at the U.S. Open, on the night of the showdown between Serena and Venus Williams.

“The poor souls who don鈥檛 realize [Kaepernick and Reid]聽are American Icons are about to be given a rude forearm shiver,” wrote their attorney, Mark Geragos, on Twitter in response to news of the warm welcome they received.

Earlier this week, an arbitrator ruled that Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL will proceed to a full-blown hearing. Appearing on the #PFTPM podcast, Mark Leibovich (author of Big Game: The NFL in Dangerous Times) explained that the NFL genuinely believed that it would prevail in its motion for summary judgment Womens Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , securing a dismissal of the allegation on the basis that there is no specific documentation of a directive to shun Kaepernick, circumstantial evidence of collective and collusive action be damned.

And so, two years after Kaepernick began to protest during the anthem knowing full well that it would adversely impact his career, he’s moving toward what would be regarded as an upset on par with Super Bowl III, even though those who understand how the NFL operates will have seen it coming.

Three sports memorabilia collectors who accused New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning of providing bogus ”game-worn” equipment that was sold to unsuspecting fans settled their lawsuit against the Super Bowl-winning quarterback on Monday, days before the case was scheduled to go to trial.

A spokesman for the defendants, a group that included Manning, the Giants Womens Dak Prescott Jersey , two equipment managers and Steiner Sports, the company with whom Manning is under contract to provide game-worn jerseys and helmets for sale, said Monday night a settlement had been reached to resolve the claims. Details were not given.

Plaintiffs Eric Inselberg, Michael Jakab and Sean Godown had sought triple the amount of their alleged losses – which totaled less than $20,000 combined – for buying two helmets billed as worn by Manning. They also had sought punitive damages, and claimed in court filings they would produce evidence that would ”show that Manning engaged in a pattern of knowingly providing items to Steiner Sports that he misrepresented as having been game-used when he knew they were not.”

Manning and the Giants had denied the allegations and characterized the suit as ”inflammatory and baseless” in court filings.

Jury selection was to have begun this week, but a death in the family of one of the attorneys had pushed that back to next Monday.

An attorney for the plaintiffs confirmed the settlement Monday night.

Inselberg filed the lawsuit in 2014. The suit claimed two helmets purchased by Inselberg and the two other plaintiffs – including one purportedly used by Manning during the Giants’ 2007-2008 Super Bowl season – were bogus. Inselberg alleged photographic experts using a technique called ”photomatching” could not find evidence that the helmets were ever used in games.

The Giants and Manning contend photomatching is unreliable because it does not take into account that helmets are routinely reconditioned during or after a season, the evidence of which might be found on the inside of the helmet and not the outside.

The stakes were raised in the lawsuit in April 2017 when Inselberg’s attorneys filed court documents that contained emails between Manning and equipment manager Joseph Skiba Womens Aaron Rodgers Jersey , who also was a defendant in the lawsuit. In one email, Manning asks Skiba to get ”2 helmets that can pass as game used.”

The email does not refer to the two helmets at issue in the lawsuit, but Inselberg alleged it indicates a pattern of fraud.

When the emails went public last year, Manning angrily denied any wrongdoing. In a court filing this month, Manning’s attorney wrote that the email was intended to ask Skiba for two game-used helmets that would ”satisfy the requirement of being game-used.”

”Manning never instructed Joe Skiba to create any fraudulent memorabilia,” attorney Robert Lawrence wrote. ”Rather, Manning believed that if he asked Joe Skiba for his helmets, he received his game-used helmets and that the helmets he received from Skiba were his game-used helmets.”

In the same court filing Youth C.J. Mosley Jersey , Manning’s lawyer accused Inselberg of being ”engaged in a decades-long memorabilia scheme” in which he obtained, without permission, game-used Giants equipment, including Manning’s, from Skiba and Skiba’s brother, Ed, as well as a local dry cleaner.
