At the height of his career in the NFL, Kaepernick took a stand against racial inequality and police brutality for the world to see. Since then, his allies say his intentions have been misinterpreted.

he's more man and more hero than any hard ass overly serious U.S military son of a bitch who is an entitled bully to people when they come home, Kaepernick is NOT A PUNK ASS Happy Kaepernick Day
Civil rights icon, Nigger Please !!! There i said it, millions want to but don t have the balls.
what a freak
He was never either. He sucks at football, and causes racial divide while living in his upper white class neighborhood.
Kapernick is the biggest fraud in sports history,he was benched by the 49ers after leading them to a super bowl a year prior,he was mad and felt disrespected and wanted to be traded ,the 49ers refused to trade him ..so he knelt during that game to embarrass the team so they can trade him..save this fairytale for those who don’t know any better ..you ain’t fooling me
A couple rows down in the comments where there are 431 likes says "you stand up for what's right no matter the consequences" Bravo, I couldn't agree more just as our forefathers who gave their lives SPECIFICICALLY for our flag and Country who said this at the time of doing so. "I would rather die standing than live on my knees" Not too many people like Kaepernick was aware of several facts before taking his knee during the national anthem.
Kaepernick states he is going to continue to stand with the people that continue to be oppressed" immediately cuts to a protest of people yelling blm. Fact of the matter is almost twice as many whites are killed in this country every year by police than any other color. So shouldnt it be a protest for American Citizens? All Great Britain asked of Fort Henry was to lower the US flag and they would cease fire. All through the night the flag took direct hits but in the morning the flag still flew high.
How this was made possible was by the men who took turns holding the flag and pole physically up until they were killed by artillery from Great Britains War ships where their bodies were removed and a new group of men held the pole and flag up. If it weren't for these men who literally gave their life specifically for our flag and what it stood for, Kaepernick would be playing soccer. There would be no USA, there would be no NFL.
So take a knee on 1st and 10 or 4th and goal. Or how about actually joining the protestors on the street? All he did was disrespect our forefathers because only blacks were being disrespected but he wouldnt give his life for it now would he? He gave up millions to make more millions.
You did this to yourself!
You could have been ……
now Tim . Has an offer!
Get into Politics? You’ll fit right in!
Will some NFL team PLEASE give Kaepernick a QB job already. If I had the power I wish I had Kaepernick would be in an NFL jersey by 6am this morning. The people that hate him will tune in hoping he will fail and his supporters will cheer him on. I don’t hate the guy I just use sports as an escape from the evils of real life. This issue isn’t going to go away man give the man an NFL job or I’ll come back and complain again on YouTube just try me. 😡
You mean race hustler
1:28 teams have given him tryouts, and they have decided not to sign him. That’s not the NFL’s fault.
Icon who's exploiting dark skinned black women's image on his new book or something? Iconic is a bit of a reach.
Colin Kapernick is not a Civil Right Icon. All he did was take a knee. MY ANCESTORS were hung, bombed, financial and education institutions destroyed, families torn apart, homes set a fire, attacked by dogs. Colin started this war and now he threw this war onto Black Women without notice. Colin Kapernick, the cowardly lion. FAKE A%% CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST.
I wonder if Kaepernick ever considered this https://www.kevinsysyn.com/the-american-flag/
So much pearl-clutching about sexual harrassers losing their livelihoods and cancel culture, yet nobody said anything when a black man lost everything just for having a heart and a spine.
How Colin Kaepernick went from throwing a ball like a girl too being a political pawn for china
Agent kolin is an arab with an afro wig
