Kaepernick's protest of 'rogue cops' extends to socks

Mr Boyer stood for the anthem as Kaepernick kneeled in protest.

"As much as I don't agree with it, and as much as a lot of people don't agree with it, that is his right", said Army veteran Jeremiah Thompson.

"I've been very blessed to be in this position and to be able to make the kind of money I do", Kaepernick said after last night's game.

The NFL has also come under scrutiny since the organization said it supports Kaepernick's right to protest through a . "I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed".

Kaepernick and Reid, a starting safety who wasn't playing, declined to stand for the anthem before a preseason game dedicated to military appreciation by the Chargers.

While many National Football League executives interviewed this week feel he should be cut and never play in the National Football League again, Kaepernick - now the backup quarterback - may be playing his way into contention for the starting lineup; he looked fairly sharp in game action Thursday, leading the 49ers on a touchdown drive in their first possession. "Now, I think people are really talking about it".

Colin Kaepernick and his decision to protest the flag by sitting down during the National Anthem in a pre-season game last week has been all over the news lately. They are put in place by the government.

Kaepernick has said his criticism is not directed at members of the armed forces and has said he has "great respect for the men and women that have fought for this country". But wait! Kaepernick claims the socks are only meant to address bad cops.

The juxtaposition of Kaepernick's protest against racism and the Chargers' 28th annual Salute to the Military, which is traditionally held during the final home exhibition game, provided a juicy story line.
