As another NFL season starts, Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned. However, his message behind kneeling during the national anthem is still alive.
On Sunday, Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson of the Miami Dolphins kneeled during the National Anthem just before their team faced off against the Tennessee Titans. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they were the only two to protest during the game.
Colin Kaepernick took to social media to recognize Stills and Watson for their support.
He said, “My Brothers @kstills and @ithinkisee12 continue to show their unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed! They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated. Their courage will move the world forward! ‘Love is at the root of our resistance!’”
Recently, Nike announced Kaepernick as the face of their latest Just Do It campaign. The announcement was met with a lot of love from many celebrities and fans. Nonetheless, there has been some hate from those who have lost sight as to why Kaepernick kneeled in the first place.
