Colin Kaepernick says he is refusing to stand for the national anthem before games because he believes the United States oppresses African Americans and other minorities.
Colin Kaepernick didn’t do much to warrant headlines with his performance on the field Friday, but he’s certainly in for his fair share of scrutiny after he sat through the national anthem before his preseason debut against the Packers.
Colin Kaepernick’s night during the 49ers’ 21-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers was undoubtedly difficult for the former unanimous starter. His poor decision-making and inaccuracy during the team’s 3rd preseason game already have some people calling for his release from the team.
All Colin Kaepernick did Friday at Levi’s Stadium was remind Chip Kelly, Trent Baalke and any fan with a semblance of logic and reason that he’s nowhere close to being ready to run an NFL offense.
