Not even disagreeing with what he did, but what he did is one of the very few absolute mortal sins in the NFL.
He sat for the National Anthem in this week's preseason game (EDIT TO ADD: And has done so in the two previous preseason games as well...), doing so as a statement against racism and racial violence against Blacks in the USA.
For this, a number of 49er fans (in liberal (???) San Francisco!), have burned his jersey in counter-protest!
Colin, it may be time to consider the CFL.
You do NOT fuck with Murka in post-9/11 NFL.
The War on Terror is the NFL's meal ticket, going from National Obsession to National Religion -- where now life itself is secondary to YOUR TEAM ON THE NFL GRIDIRON!! RARGH!!!!!

Note that nothing I say indicates that Kaepernick is not only correct, but well within his Constitutional Rights... Not that you have any of the latter in the NFL...
Even the Pro Football Talk article effectively implies that the 49ers are probably going to cut Kaepernick (not that he wasn't a step and a half out the door already!!!), but the fact that the NFL is so tied into the false American rhetoric of the last 15 years (in most, if not all, of it's concepts!), he's done in the league.
