Colin Kaepernick did not receive the most pleasant farewell from the NFL after his protests on the field. In 2016, Kaepernick took the knee in protest against racial and social injustices in the US. Moreover, his fiancé Nessa Diab spoke out against the NFL in 2020. She stands with Colin’s move to spread awareness and showcase his concern against injustices.

However, Nessa’s support also caused a playing spot for Kaepernick with the Ravens. Kaepernick did not have any workout for a long time until he got one with the Raiders. But evidence and videos from 2017 suggest that the Baltimore Ravens were interested in signing Kaepernick.

Nessa Diab lashed out at the NFL for listing Colin as ‘retired’ on its official website. She snapped on it and posted a series of tweets criticizing the NFL for ‘blackballing’ her fiancé.

What were the tweets that Nessa posted in support of Colin Kaepernick?

Nessa did not hold back while calling out the NFL in her tweets. She went on to tag the commissioner of the league, Roger Goodell, and the NFLPA.

Further, her tweets led to a severe backlash against the NFL for listing the former 49ers’ QB as retired. Consequently, the official website listed him as an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA).

However, these were not the only tweets Diab posted supporting her fiancé. Kaepernick also lost a chance to play for the Ravens when Nessa posted a controversial tweet that involved Ravens’ owner.

What led to Kaepernick losing his QB spot at the Baltimore Ravens in 2017?

In 2017, after Kaepernick lost his spot at the 49ers, he had a real shot at the Ravens. As per former Ravens LB Ray Lewis, Kaepernick was highly considered for a spot but lost it after Nessa posted a controversial tweet.

Diab compared the snapshot of Ray Lewis hugging the Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti from the back with the still from ‘Django Unchained’. This did not bode well with the Ravens, and the deal fell apart before seeing the light of day.

In conclusion, not everything is taken lightly on social media. Nessa’s tweets forcing the NFL to list her QB fiance as a free agent materialized. Ironically, her tweets in the past also led to him being a free agent ever since the Ravens pulled out.
