Donald Trump dares Kaepernick to find a better country

SANTA CLARA -- On Sunday 49ers quarterback said that presidential candidate Donald Trump was "openly racist." A day later, Trump suggested Kaepernick finds "another country that suits his personal beliefs."

Said Trump on the Dori Monson radio show Monday when asked about Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem: "I have followed it and I think it's a terrible thing. And, you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him, let him try, it's not going to happen."

Kaepernick has stayed seated during the singing of the national anthem during the 49ers' last three games in protest of what he described as injustices to Blacks and people of color in this country.
