Football courage


I always knew I liked Colin Kaepernick, even if his 49er football career hasn't developed as fans might have hoped.

NFL.com has more:

... "If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right."

The 49ers were probably going to dump him at some point anyway, so good for him for using his remaining shred of celebrity to call out the system that chews up people who look like him.

Tim Kawakami at the Mercury News actually managed to combine football judgment with respectful, measured wisdom about Kaepernick's bold gesture.
