Colin Kaepernick's protest has turned ugly. The 49ers' quarterback revealed on Tuesday that he's received death threats from "a couple different avenues," according to Bleacher Report's Tyler Dunne.
The Mercury News' Cam Inman provided more information:
Kaepernick said he does not alert team security in the wake of such threats, because, "to me, if something like that were to happen, you've proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened, and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now.

Kaepernick has maintained that he'll continue his protest until meaningful change occurs.

Anyone in the public eye gets death threats from internet nuts. I’ve gotten nasty anonymous letters just from writing a letter to the local paper. Judging from their grammar, spelling, handwriting, and the spiral-ring note paper they use, I’d guess buying a stamp was a major drain on their welfare check.
I wouldn’t want to see anybody shoot Colon Copperdink, but I would love to see a veteran punch him in the face.
My God!
That is an amazing, jaw dropping, stunning, breath taking, humbling and inspiring picture of a true hero! A honest to God TRUE HERO!
My mind is blown! I need a tissue.
I am not going to speak of that other person discussed in this thread.
Doubt it.
He’s learning the treachery of taqiyya.
Pleasant Musical interlude provided!
Sure he did. Like most leftist victimhood stories it’s not very believable.
He’s a poor excuse for a man.
Wow, the attention craving Kaepernick is now seeking VICTIM STATUS. How pathetic.
...They call the wind (bag) Tayqiyah!
I think there will be a backlash against these guys. The NFL better watch out or it will reap the whirlwind too.
Patriotism is about to become very in vogue. Guys like Kaepernick won’t get a free pass like this very long.
It’s about damned time too.
I don’t wish something serious to happen to him, but he needs to have his chain yanked seriously.
You don’t like this nation, leave. While you’re here, respect it.
There are things we all dislike about our government. That needs to change, but this dim bulb hasn’t a clue what is important or isn’t.
We change our leaders by vote. This guy can education himself and get behind folks that actually care about the nation and it’s citizens.
This guy has one of the premier jobs in the nation, and sits there in the midst of a pity party for himself.
What an absolute fool!
You and me both. If my physical state was altered that dramatically, that permanently, I have no idea how i would deal with it. The first and biggest step would be acceptance of my new form. Some amputees will use the prosthetic limbs when leaving the house, and others decide not to. I’m guessing the level of achievable comfort will vary patient to patient.
They should have thought of that before they glorified these ungrateful jerks. How many TV directors I wonder were told to make sure they got shots of the overpaid, undeserving morons dissing their country and fellow Americans.
As you sow, TV networks so shall you reap.
**** “I wonder if that moron Kaepernick knows how pathetic he looks compared to a real hero who is doing his best to stand in honor of our flag.” ****
Kaepernick can’t ... he is mentally and morally deficient as well as a sub human slob.
I’m not a Dr but I stand by my diagnosis
I have heard that this whole sitting for the anthem was nothing more than a scam. Having been warned that he was going to be dropped from the team. Our young hero concocted this controversy to shame the 49er’s owners with being called racist for cutting him.
There truly is injustice in the world. For example, I got mugged at gunpoint by a couple of black guys. Perhaps he would stand for the National Anthem if I were to successful mug a couple of black guys in the name of justice. /s
Colin who?
Tell the Snowflake KaperDICK to STFU ...
i hope the boy lives in fear for the rest of it's life
Words matter Kap - too bad you just found out.
Well Colin Kaeperdick, RIP.
When will we start calling out this “death threats” tactic employed by the left. Since the internet and “new media” liberals are more likely to get caught in malfeasance or acting in an utterly ridiculous manner. When public opinion turns against them, like clockwork the “death threats” are mentioned by the media. Apparently, since noone deserves the death penalty for sitting during the anthem or creating a hate crime hoax, it provokes sympathy for the wrongdoer, equates the criticism with violent barbaric behavior and ultimately shuts off any kind of discussion on the matter
