When Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to take a stand against police brutality and racial injustice in 2016, he was mostly alone.
Still, George Floyd's death, which ignited nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality, awakened many people to the root of the issues that led to Kaepernick's peaceful demonstration -- an expression meant to raise awareness of such issues, not demean the flag or the anthem. The 32-year-old Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since 2016.
Jacob Ali-Wertheimer, the 21-year-old grandson of the boxing legend, is a human and civil rights leader on Harvard University's campus. He is encouraged because more folks support Kaepernick's movement but realizes there's a long way to go. Shanahan, who became coach of the 49ers after Kaepernick's last season with the team, had strong words on the topic.
Let him Play!
what team is he playing for again
Way to ensure people stop reading your 'sports' coverage. fakenews Kaepernick was a no talent qb who couldn't hack it in the league so he took a knee. That's the only reason anyone knows his name. Hardly a sports article. All political. Get fucked.
But that's just it. He should not have to have a long way to go.
Just a great opportunist ,mediocre quarterback.. cultural shill.
The fruition of Colin’s support can only be realized when a team with courage hires him for his skill without fearing Trump’s tantrum.
Still a crappy quarterback prone to throwing unnecessary interceptions.
It's not about Kaepernick7.
not from me
Just keep on feeding the racism and hate. You’re doing great at it. Pathetic. Nothing will ever change until you all just shut up.
Race divisions helps keep corruption in power . Don’t fall for the MSM bullshit
Enough of the divide. The divide has been caused by government not by the people. When are people going to learn govt is the problem and not the solution. Even after this Covid insanity when the middle class has been destroyed they divide us.
Just keep perpetuating the circus🤹♂️.
Bolshevik propaganda
He'll never play in the NFL again. He really wasn't that good to begging with. Once there was enough NFL footage on him the coordinators could neutralize him pretty well. He was on his way out before he every pulled his PR stunt.
Colin who? professionalracebaiters
Yet he has a deal with Mike. And most likely gets paid by China. Here is what China does
Beep beep beep Goodall to late
Knelt to disrespect the flag! Kneeling now for the BLM is also disrespecting the African American people.
Roger Goodell laudatory words today are devoid of action, not mentioning once heroic Colin Kaepernick who started the peaceful protests against racism. Lest we forget, Mr. Kaepernick still doesn't have a job..still blackballed by the NFL!
Colin Kaepernick was right all along.
Ppl should realize he is kneeling for the right cause. Maga racists want him ostracized

Colin Kaepernick has more support now, but still long way to go - Sportsnet.caFour years after Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem, his protest is widely viewed as prescient. Global opinion has shifted so much that more people are now vilifying those who attack Kaepernick or misrepresent his stance. Global opinion has not shifted. It remains a much more complex issue than anyone is actually willing to talk about. Smart people know that. He deserves a chance to play! I haven't heard. I was wondering, has he been participating in any of the protests?

Kyle Shanahan: Colin Kaepernick deserves admiration - TSN.caSan Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan praised former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for trying to bring the issue of racism and police brutality to light with his protests during the national anthem in the 2016 season. And his job back.... He was a trash washed up 3rd string QB who got more money from Nike with his disrespectful protest of the flag than he would have from a contract from any of the NFL teams. What should he be admired for? Being an opportunist? Thank you for reminding us that he started kneeling in 2016 for all the violence that happened during the 8 years Obama’s presidency with Biden as his VP.

Bears' Akiem Hicks on Kaepernick not having a job: 'We signed Mike Glennon'Bears DT Akiem Hicks states that Colin Kaepernick lost his position in the NFL due to his protests and wonders why Mike Glennon has a job and Kaepernick doesn't. Throw Glennon under the bus for your agenda fine. You still would have sucked that year. Tell me your gm or coach wants that circus as a back up Qb anyway. Lol comical Who? 1/2 It was a conversation the nfl didn’t want to have, an obvious nation wide issue that they didn’t want to address and then made an example out of Kaepernick7 to keep everyone else in line. It was never about insulting military or disrespecting a country but trying to draw
