Standing for a Cause
The name Colin Kaepernick will forever be stored in the annals of NFL history. But not for the fact he has the most rushing yards in a game by a QB in playoff history. Or leading the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl 47. But for starting a league wide protest during the playing of the national anthem at the start of NFL games back in 2016. Say what you want to, but his reasons for doing so are being validated , even today. Why else is a man slain on camera for defending his woman from some strange man? After it was obvious he wasn't attacking the guy further once a weapon was brandished. A fatal unnecessary shot was delivered and law enforcement won't press charges on the shooter. Why not? Most real men would have reacted similarly to a stranger accosting their significant other but did he deserved to die for it?
