SANTA CLARA — The last organization to employ Colin Kaepernick stepped up Saturday night in the wake of national unrest following t. . .
At the urging of a former Navy Seal and Seattle Seahawk Nate Boyer, Kaepernick later began kneeling for the anthem instead of standing as a show of respect. While the 49ers released Kaepernick, they continued to publicly support his right to protest peacefully throughout the season. Kaepernick’s stance was a national story and no team has signed him in the aftermath.
