If the protests weren't costing him money, he wouldn't care. He'd be out there kneeling with them if he thought he could make money off of it.
CBS released a story saying that if Colin Kaepernick was hired by a team in the NFL, he would stand for the National Anthem.
The story was TOTALLY false.
Colin Kaepernick said no one asked him that question.
And, CBS immediately retracted the story.
Had the Cowboys won yesterday, he never would have brought the subject up. He did it to change the narrative, to talk about the flag, rather than the fact that the Cowboys are 2-3, and could be 4-6 or worse after the next 5 games.
This, after going 13-3 the year before.
