SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in each of the team's three preseason games and plans to continue to do so until he sees real change when it comes to racial oppression in the United States.
"Yes, I'll continue to sit," Kaepernick said. "I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me this is something that has to change. When there's significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand."

I hope so. :-)
Michael Vick said last year he would play one more season. This joker must be aiming for the NFL’s MDP: most despicable player.
Effing worthless muzzie. Can’t wait for him to be cut.
The comments on the San Francisco Chronicle website (sfgate.com)are great!
For a liberal newspaper; Kap isn’t getting any love!
How about Johnny Manziel even? Is he sober this week?
This jerk doesn’t deserve to be called an American. Let him leave the country for someplace that will have him.
Fire him. Overpaid, spoiled a$$ just like the millionaire son who caused all the trouble at Missouri complaining about the oppression he and others had to endure.
Someone please ask this fool “where in the world do minorities get a better chance to rise to the top then they do in America?”
Street thugs who victimize everyone they come in contact with are not entitled to kid glove treatment by the authorities.
Man, they really F’d this guys brain up at whatever schools he attended. I hope he really get’s what’s coming to him for this $hit.
He is doing this to not get cut..or get cut and start a massive lawsuit..he sucks and had one good year..all he could do is run
congrats to him he was a fraud but made millions of that one season
Now if NFL policy is everyone do as they please during the National Anthem, that's another issue entirely.
Yeh and one of his ‘oppressed peoples’ would gladly rip off his car or other valuables without even blinking twice. jerkwad..
Afflicted with piles?
Kaepernick, you are either with us or against us. Now we know for sure you are no patriot.
he should put a tattoo across his mouth
I don’t. Hope nobody hires the a-hole.
Then maybe he should continue to sit on the bench.
He is protesting Obama. He has to be. Obama has been in charge of this racist hellhole of a country where the oppressed are forced to drive Lamborghinis and Bentleys. He has been the President for the last seven years. Fight the power brother.
Maybe those splinters fester into pustules and develop MRSA.
Last year he called someone the N word in a game. Now he’s standing with blacks, supposedly. Fishy.
He is about to be beaten out of the starting job by none other than the legendary Blaine Gabbert.
That's enough to make anyone suicidal. :)
