On this week’s filibuster, Jemele jumps into the case of Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who held out from team meetings and practices because he reportedly sought to raise his salary from $2.4 million to $4 million. Iamaleave and Tennsessee parted ways, but is this the new reality for college football?  Jemele is later joined by former NFL player Chris Kluwe, who recently was arrested at a Huntington Beach, Calif., city council meeting for performing an act of peaceful civil disobedience. Kluwe also shares why he feels he was blackballed from the NFL for his support of same-sex marriage and how he feels like the American public needs to resist during this tumultuous political time.
