Basically hes trying to protest against social justice and unfairness for black people with the law and he try to make his voice heard using his power in the NFL as a star player. He was a justice oriented citizen he had wealth social norms which helped him share the word out and get it to as much people as he could. and i agree with him he was smart but once the league started to getting into issues with politics i would have stopped and figured out another way but overall i like his thinking.]]> 2021-10-18 20:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1825223374 jlspencer2 https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826612186 Colin kaepernick was actually a great baseball player when coming out of high school as a pitcher he got 7 scholarships but chose to play college ball.

To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder", referencing a series of African-American deaths caused by law enforcement that led to the Black Lives Matter movement and adding that he would continue to protest until he feels like "[the American flag] represents what it's supposed to represent".^[116][117] It had gone largely unnoticed that Kaepernick was also sitting during the anthem in the previous two weeks, when he was inactive and not in uniform while recovering from injuries.]]> 2021-10-19 09:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826687106 jlspencer2 https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826696032 In 2012, Kaepernick was initially used sparingly to run certain plays. He scored his first career touchdown in the team's fourth game when he scored on a seven-yard run against the New York Jets. In Week 10, against the St. Louis Rams, Kaepernick replaced Smith in the second half of the game after he suffered a concussion in the first half. Kaepernick completed eleven of seventeen passes for 117 yards and added 66 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown as the 49ers and the Rams ended the game in a 24–24 tie. He got his first NFL start the next game on November 19, during a Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears at Candlestick Park. Kaepernick completed 16-of-23 for 246 yards with two touchdowns in a 32–7 win against a highly ranked Bears defense. A quarterback controversy began. Smith was ranked third in the NFL in passer rating (104.1), led the league in completion percentage (70%), and had been 19–5–1 as a starter under Harbaugh, while Kaepernick was considered more dynamic with his scrambling ability and arm strength. Smith was cleared to play the day before the following game, but Harbaugh chose not to rush him back and again started Kaepernick. He remained the starter for the rest of the season and led the 49ers to an 11–4–1 record and a berth in the NFL playoffs.In his first career postseason start, against the Green Bay Packers, Kaepernick had 263 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception and 181 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns as the 49ers defeated the Packers 45–31. With his performance, he set an NFL single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback with 181, breaking Michael Vick's record of 173 in a 2002 regular season game. He also broke the 49ers postseason rushing record, regardless of position and joined Jay Cutler and Otto Graham in both as the only players in NFL history to run for two touchdowns and pass for two others in a playoff game. In the NFC Championship, the 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 28–24 with Kaepernick completing 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown. The team advanced to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans against the Baltimore Ravens. Kaepernick threw for 302 yards, one passing touchdown, and ran for a touchdown, but the 49ers fell behind early and could not come back, losing by a score of 31–34. Overall the rest of his career was average finished with 72 tds 30 ints 12,000 passing yards 2,000 rushing yards and 13 ints]]> 2021-10-19 10:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826696032 jlspencer2 https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826700443 the NFL PA allowed to have Colin in madden 21 is a playable free agent in any league ]]> 2021-10-19 10:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jlspencer2/2z8r06iwa8fweg2e/wish/1826700443
