Here’s what the “experts” may not fully realize: Colin Kaepernick hewed to his own beliefs last year and he ended up with his integrity, his job and a whole new audience.
And now, as the 2017 season is set to begin, Colin Kaepernick has arguably become more empowered by the exact decisions the so-called experts say are why he’s not on an NFL roster.
Those who forecasted his decline into oblivion after he sat (and then knelt) during the national anthem last year were wrong; he did not vanish.
He started for the 49ers, he earned high praise from teammates, he gave a lot of time and money to charity, he traveled to Africa, and he found a voice.
And in light of the recent acquittal of the police officer who shot and killed Philando Castile in Minnesota, his feelings on racial injustice are no less resonant now than they were a year ago.
