In case you missed it, last year Colin Kaepernick took a seat, and eventually a knee, to raise awareness for the unequal treatment of black Americans in the United States. Other players around the league joined him (including RB Arian Foster, DB Michael Thomas, LB Jelani Jenkins and WR Kenny Stills) but it was Kaepernick that became the “poster boy” for this movement and he took the brunt of the media backlash.
Fast forward to this week, where some fans and media (including Miami Herald’s Greg Cote) have ramped up a groundswell movement to have Kaepernick signed by the Dolphins.
