Colin Kaepernick will donate $1 million

“Yes, I am planning to take it a step further. I’m currently working with organizations to be involved, and making sure I’m actively in these communities, as well as donating the first million dollars I make this year to different organizations to help these communities and help these people.”

Taking a knee

The San Francisco 49er caused quite a controversy after not standing during the national anthem during the preseason in what he says to peacefully protest against oppression and systematic racism.

Kaepernick also had the chance to address the media about his protest and the reaction to it, especially when it concerned the military. “Well, I think it’s a misunderstanding,” Kaepernick said.

“You know, the media painted this as ‘I’m anti-American,’ ‘anti-men and women of the military, and that’s not the case at all.” A number of U.S. military members have gone on social media to publicly support Kaepernick and dispel the notion that he’s disrespecting them.
