SANTA CLARA, Ca. -- Forty Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly and knowingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the National Anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.
His latest refusal to stand for the Anthem -- he has done this in at least one other preseason game -- came before the 49ers preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi's Stadium.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game against Green Bay. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

I think he was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of a guy with 21,000 posts bitching about anyone spending too much time on a message board. [Reply]

It takes a lot to boost your wokeness quotient when you’re already that woke. But he figured out a way! - Allahpundit, Hotair.com

I agree. My post was directed at Fairplays comments not Hog farmer. [Reply]
What a dick. Like this stand for nothing, maybe he could get another stupid, meaningless, and ugly tattoo. Just another San Francisco dick-sucking asshole. [Reply]
He just wants to be noticed, he misses all the attention he was getting a few years back. Reality has suck in, I guess we should expect more off the field dumbass antics from him while hes still on a NFL roster. [Reply]
