Politics. Sports. Cops. Race. The perfect combo platter to inflame America.
And inflame America is exactly what Colin Kaepernick did. The MMQBis in its fourth year. Never has a poll we’ve taken generated more than 1,000 responses, until last night. We asked if you supported Kaepernick’s right to sit during the national anthem. In two hours, 9,630 of you responded.
For MMQB, a Kaepernick poll. Do you support Kaepernick's right to sit during the anthem? (1 of 2) — Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) August 28, 2016
It‘s unprecedented. Kaepernick had what observers thought was the longest press briefing with Niners’ media of his five-year career Sunday afternoon—18-and-a-half minutes—to double-down on his statements to Steve Wyche of NFL Media on Friday night.
