Colin Kaepernick on national anthem: ‘I’ll continue to sit’

Colin-Kaepernick-covers-Beats-by-Dre-tape

Colin Kaepernick has been making a political statement during the preseason by refusing to stand during the playing of the national anthem, and the San Francisco 49ers quarterback says he will continue the practice for the foreseeable future.

While speaking to reporters on Sunday, Kaepernick made his plans clear.

Kaepernick spoke at length about why he is making a stand.

While Kaepernick has chosen not to stand during the national anthem in all three of his team’s preseason games, the decision gained a lot of attention over the weekend. Kaepernick was open about his reason for protesting, saying he refuses to stand for a country that allows racial inequality. You can read more of Kaepernick’s controversial comments here.

Blaine Gabbert is believed to be the favorite to win the 49ers’ starting quarterback job, but Chip Kelly insists Kaepernick is still in the running.
