Colin Kaepernick is one of the bravest persons on Earth. He has sacrificed his livelihood and image for standing upto something that is a big issue in U.S. I don't understand how a NFL kneeling to the National Anthem is getting more hatred than mass shootings in schools.

I wouldn't exactly call him the bravest person on earth, but he certainly has balls and could have just kept quiet, but he didn't, so you gotta respect that at least. White America will take any chance they get to pounce on a black man if they think they're stepping out of place, but Kaepernick will do alright anyhow. He's a multimillionaire and even if he doesn't play football again he'll just make a career out of being a media martyr.

Saw this today that Nike actually considered scrapping the advert with him due to fears of a backlash:
