Colin Kaepernick Says He’ll Leave for Russia If He Doesn’t Get the Respect He Deserves in the U.S.
A US National Football League (NFL) quarterback has refused to stand for the national anthem in protest at what he sees as racial injustice.
Colin Kaepernick, who plays with the San Francisco 49ers, remained seated as the anthem was played.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour,” he explained.
Some fans booed the player when he took to the field.
But his team said they supported his right to protest, which took place as the 49ers hosted the Green Bay Packers in a pre-season game on Friday. 28 years old, biracial, adopted and raised by white parents in Wisconsin
