San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he refused to stand during the national anthem Friday due to his views on the country's treatment of racial minorities.
"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 after Friday's game. "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."

Probably afraid he is going to be cut and there goes his big $$$ contract
Now he can claim racism
He should become an actor. He’ll fit right in with the libs from Hollyweird.
I doubt he gets cut, but I’ll be surprised if he is QB1. He’ll be smoking crack under a bridge with Manziel in a year or so.
I have long suspected that Kaep was an A-hole...Thanks for clearing that up!
I wasn’t around in days of Hollywood or Frisco of which
you speak. Were you? I don’t even live close to SF or
the Bay Area and I see California’s political problems
emanating from the the coastal regions more than anywhere.
I did attend college on the central coast and experienced
the snarkiness of LA sports fans who although living in
a neutral area, assumed everyone was an LA sports fan.
LA arrogance gave birth to the hate LA attitude. It was
earned.
The Niners may be washed up and maybe for a long time.
But I will cast my lot with a “has been” before the
LA “never was”.
I’d rather watch soccer, and I HATE soccer.
He can’t even lie well. The REAL reason he was sitting during the National Anthem was so he could scout out the prime bench spots available. Because Lord knows, he’s gonna be spending a LOT of time there during the regular season.
I believe Tillman played for the Cardinals.
Let's see...Kaepernick was in for three possessions last night. He was two for six for no points and one first down. Smith is 20 for 30 for 177 yards and no picks. And my Chiefs are up 13 to zip at the half. So really, Niners. Trading away Alex Smith for a second round pick may not have been the best decision Harbaugh ever made.
the nfl needs to stop this right now tell them all if anyone doesnt stand for the anthem take ur millions and get the hell out of this country
I don’t know about the racism part but he sure could
be building his alibi for his nearing departure from
the NFL. He would rather be seen as a player too
difficult for teams to roster than somebody who lacks
the brains and skills to earn and keep an NFL job which
is the reality.
Tell this rapist to be careful
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
He still ought to move to Africa and see how they live.
He seriously looks like he just returned from a terrorist training camp!

And he's made how much money as an oppressed minority??
Your tag line is awesome and so truthful.
