Despite finishing last year with a passer rating of 90.7, quarterback Colin Kaepernick still remains unsigned for the upcoming 2017 NFL season. People can make excuses about his play being the reason why he is still a free-agent, but everyone knows that his performance in 2016 has absolutely nothing to do with him not having a contract yet.
Knowing the risk, Kaepernick made a bold move last year by standing up for what he believes in and not standing for the singing of the national anthem. Protests are not meant to make people feel comfortable and the quarterback’s actions certainly caused a variety of feelings among people across the nation.
