Kaepernick protested police brutality and racism during the 2016 season with the 49ers by taking a knee during the national anthem. He was joined by several teammates and others throughout the league. “I’m all for protests, I’m all for change,” he said. “I hope the protests cause change. Whatever we got to do to get the change I’m for it. I know our organization is, I know Jed is, I know our players are. We always have been.”
“We’d like to do something collectively as a team,” he said. “That’s something we’re still discussing. But the main thing is, is how do you do it now, how do you do it a week from now, and how do you do it every day of your life.”
