SANTA CLARA – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick revealed Tuesday that he has received death threats as the movement he started last month has gained more momentum across the country.
Kaepernick spoke in the 49ers’ locker room for approximately 15 minutes during a session that began as an informal conversation with a handful of reporters.
Kaepernick also pledged to donate $100,000 in each of the next 10 months to organizations that work toward goals consistent with his message of fighting racial inequalities. He said he is working with his assistants to compile a list of organizations.
