Colin Kaepernick has been speaking extensively about social issues, and for some folks, that has led to various conspiracies. Some far right websites that focus on conspiracies have said he converted to Islam while being influenced by his girlfriend. They have not gone into a lot of specifics about why that’s a problem, but they’ve gone with the dog whistle this brings that people should be scared of Muslims.
On Wednesday, Kaepernick spoke with the media at his locker, and he addressed the reports. He said he has seen the conspiracies, and he has not converted.
